Frusciante, John - Been Insane Lyrics






I've been insane well the time is slow
The pope don't matter when the pawn is your sea,
Don't you agree?
When you're around I'm wound around your thumb
You wanna be numb inside the gun

I've been in pain hope it doesn't show
I've been insane well the time is slow
Don't you want sunshine instead of phony lights?
All your billboards in light
I want big fight against the baby inside
That your mistaking for pain!

    A.... N....

  3. J.... ....

    "I've been in pain, hope it doesn't show"

    J.... ....

    that particular line really hits home, ain't it?

  4. R.... N....

    Enter another realm with you Frusciante

  5. F.... M....

    great song.

  6. C.... ....

    Why so short? :/

  7. L.... L....

    wicked cool thanks for that man

  8. M.... D....

    Does it really matter? Just work with what is best, thats what I do with these songs...

  9. L.... L....

    what's the strumming pattern more or less and time signature for this song?

    L.... L....

    Luke L its Frusciante, there’s no such thing as that. It just goes...

    L.... L....

    syncopated 4/4

  10. e.... ....

    actually he did a lot of drugs, but mainly both heroin and coke

  11. M.... E....

    He used cocaine...

  12. a.... ....

    No, the misconception bothers a lot of people, including me.

  13. a.... ....

    Well he wasn't, and it's a pretty common misconception that bothers a lot of people.

  14. J.... K....

    he was using, but was not addicted. he said he recorded one of the guitar solos while on heroin

    J.... K....

    Jim Kettler Yea, the song is ten to butter blood voodoo. the solo is actually pretty cool though!

  15. r.... ....

    I don't think the songs sound that strong on this album on the record, due to John's deepening self-destructive attitudes, however in latter years, there were great live performances of these songs. For instance, everyone who hasn't already should check out this song live at the Roxy, Frusciante's emotion is incredible.

  16. r.... f....

    John was in fact using heroin during the recording of this album but he wasn't an addict yet. I forget which song it was but i heard an interview where he says he shot up before recording the solo for the song

    r.... f....

    ratjar funk ten to butter blood voodoo

  17. d.... k....

    he wasnt he only did heroin for the first time when he left the chili's and this was recorded in 91

  18. f.... ....

    I really dont believe he wasnt on heroin in most of this album

  19. b.... m....

    i love john frusciantes music but this particular song blows

    b.... m....

    Your name is fitting

  20. D.... f....

    @carlitos101011 he definitley wasnt on smack. you obvioulsy havent done your homework about this brilliant musician!!

  21. D.... f....

    @bobbyhurly24 the solo to blood butter voodoo on heroin that is!!!

  22. D.... f....

    @7h3tSLDR02 he recorded the solo on ten to blood butter voodoo. the last 2 songs he was on heroin, the rest of the album he was only smoking pot!!

  23. S.... F....

    Stoped my porn for this song!

    S.... F....

    As one would.

  24. a.... ....

    as a producer, i wanna sample this,,, but somehow it seems spiritually illegal. Wow

  25. s.... ....

    @bobbyhurly24 I'm pretty sure he was on heroin when this was written, just not as much as the second half of the album when he really went off the deep end. Or the creative genius end, depending on how you look at it.

  26. a.... k....

    john's old music is amazing!

  27. I.... L....

    @crazymonkeyx isd?

  28. m.... ....

    @crazymonkeyx
    Seems to be more about heroin to me, with the mention of the gun and so fourth. Might be about none of these things, because it was most likely recorded before he started using, or at least became addicted.

  29. C.... C....

    After looking over the lyrics this song is definately about lsd

  30. k.... ....

    i dunno if this was recorded in blood sugar sex magik era...he may have written it by that time but, i still think this was recorded when he was twisted

  31. N.... N....

    @translinguistic It was actually 2 month recording, May-june 1991.

  32. m.... ....

    @vsbp
    Actually, it was recorded from '91-'93 and released in '94, so John was a heroin addict when it was released, but most of the songs, if not all of them, were recorded before he was on dope.

  33. m.... ....

    @vsbp
    No, this is from Niandra Lades. That album was released in '93 or '94, when John was a heroin addict, but it was recorded before he first left the Chili Peppers. So, you are partially correct, my friend.

  34. D.... f....

    no he wasnt on heroin in this he recorded this at the mantion while recording blood sugar sex magic in 1991

  35. t.... ....

    @vsbp This album was recorded at his house on the weekends during the recording of Blood Sugar Sex Magik. He has said that he was smoking weed, but this was before he started doing all of the hard shit. Wiki.
