“Mind Descending” is a meditation on the erosion of mental stability. The narrator’s world is a collage of unsettling images — some mundane, some fantastical — all filtered through a psyche that can no longer distinguish between reality and distortion.

The opening lines contrast the ultimate safety of pre-birth innocence with the harshness of earthly existence. From there, the song moves through a series of disjointed vignettes: stalled elevators, vampire encounters, hostile faces, and cosmic loneliness. Each scene is a fragment of the narrator’s fractured perception, underscoring the refrain’s relentless declaration: “I’m going insane.”

The song’s structure mimics the descent it describes — beginning with poetic abstraction, moving through surreal snapshots of daily life, and ending in a spiral of repetition that mirrors obsessive thought loops. It’s a sonic and lyrical embodiment of mental unraveling.

Track #3 from the album “The Scapegoat’s Agony”:

His frail state of mind rapidly deteriorating, the unnamed antihero thrusts himself onto the inexorable downward spiral towards insanity.
