Go Insane Lyrics
Two kinds of people in this world
Winners... losers
I lost my power in this world
Cause I did not use it
So I go insane
Like I always do
And I call your name
Shes a lot like you
Two kinds of trouble in this world
Living... dying
I lost my power in this world
And the rumors are flying
So I go insane
Like I always do
And I call your name
Shes a lot like you
So I go insane
Like I always do
And I call your name
Shes a lot like you
Shes a lot like you
Shes a lot like you
Shes a lot like you...
Winners... losers
I lost my power in this world
Cause I did not use it
So I go insane
Like I always do
And I call your name
Shes a lot like you
Living... dying
I lost my power in this world
And the rumors are flying
So I go insane
Like I always do
And I call your name
Shes a lot like you
Like I always do
And I call your name
Shes a lot like you
Shes a lot like you
Shes a lot like you
Shes a lot like you...

The song is about the neurosis you experience when you encounter someone that you used to love who is doing just fine without you.
The chorus of this song was eventually turned into the chord progression for 'Time Bomb Town'. Listen closely! You can sing along to "I go insane, like I always do..." in between verses. It's cool! It gives both songs a different level and meaning, making TBT a sort of "sequel" to Go Insane.
Just a little triva for ya.
From everything I have seen and heard related to Lindsey Buckingham's life, this song was a response to the craziness that his then wife, Carol, was causing. She was unbalanced. It was basically a song talking about how she was driving him nuts, and all the rumours that were going around about his marriage troubles.
Now, this part is only speculation on my part, but "She's a lot like you" likely is hearkening back for his former flame, Stevie Nicks.
I am actually pretty sure it has to do with Stevie. Both he and Stevie admitted most of their songs were about one another so it standa to reason this is about Stevie and how she would drive him insane because of his cheating and I think it also may combine his new wife in the chorus where he is saying "she's a lot like you."
