Sabbra21, you helped figure out the one line that I could not get.
Here are the complete accurate lyrics to the song:
I hide, I hide, I hide, I hide, I hide, I hide, I hide,
I hide myself inside the shadows of shame.
The silent symphonies were playing their game.
My body echoed to the dreams of my soul.
It started something that I could not control.
Where can I run to now? The joke is on me.
No sympathizing God it’s insanity, yeah!
Why don't ya just get out of my life, yeah!
Why don't ya just get out of my life now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah!
Obsessed, Obsessed, Obsessed,
Obsessed, Obsessed, Obsessed, Obsessed,
Obsessed with fantasy, possessed with my schemes,
I mixed reality with pseudo-god dreams.
The ghost of violence was something I'd seen.
I sold my soul to be the human obscene.
How could this poison be the dream of my soul?
How did my fantasies take complete control? Yeah!
Why don't ya just get out of my life? Yeah!
Why don't ya just get out of my life now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone now?
Why doesn't everybody leave me alone? Yeah!
Well I feel something's taking me, I don't know where.
It's like a trip inside a separate mind.
The ghost of tomorrow from my favorite dream,
Is telling me to leave it all behind;
Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow.
Got to get to happiness, want no more of sorrow.
How I lied, went to hide.
How I tried to get away from you now.
Am I right if I fight,
That I might just get away from you now?
Sting Me!
Well I feel something's giving me the chance to return.
It's giving me the chance of saving my soul.
Beating my demigod, I'm fading away.
I'm going backwards where I'm in control.
Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow.
Getting back to sanity from the depths of sorrow.
Was it wise to disguise,
How I tried to get away from you now?
Is there a way that I could pay?
Or is it true I have to stay with you now?
How I lied, went to hide,
How I tried to get away from you now.
Am I right if I fight,
That I might just get away from you now?
Suck Me!
I’ve been the king of schizophrenia, the messed up, the ill.
I've chased my soul in the fires of hell.
Peace of mind eluded me, but now it's all mine.
I set the trap, but it was me who fell.
Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow.
Now I've found my happiness, from the depths of sorrow.
No more lies, I got wise.
I despise the way I worshipped you, yeah!
Now I'm free, can't you see?
And now instead I won't be led by you now.
Free!
The song does have to do with megalomania, though in the context of someone suffering from mental illness. The "god" that he worshipped and is trying to get away from is himself. Great stuff! Geezer really is an underrated lyricist.
