"Perfect Insanity"
Song

"Perfect Insanity" is a song by American rock band Disturbed. The song is released as the second single from their fourth album Indestructible. The song was originally written by the band prior to their debut album, The Sickness. "Perfect Insanity" was also previously released on the band's documentary, M.O.L., as a demo track with a music video, from before they were signed to a record label. They re-recorded the song in 2007 and it was released on Indestructible.

Themes

According to vocalist David Draiman, the song's meaning is "toying with the idea of insanity. Coming at you from the perspective from the individual who is [insane] and warning people around him, particularly his love interests, about his psychotic tendencies."[1]

Music video

45 second sample comparing the 2008 Indestructible recording of "Perfect Insanity" and the 1998 demo version.

No music video has been released for the re-recorded version of this song; however, on the band's home documentary, M.O.L., an old music video can be viewed, made in 1998. The video depicts vocalist David Draiman, locked inside of a room, in a straitjacket. As he tries to break free, the video shows the band playing variously on a stage, in between clips of Draiman trying to escape from the straitjacket. As the song finishes, the video switches to a scene of a graveyard, implying Draiman had died insane.
