Read 'Diary of a Madman,' by Gogol, and then listen to this song. This hit me only recently, but in the Gogol story, the narrator, Poprishchin, ends his descent into madness by believing that he's the King of Spain. He's taken to an asylum ('the empty hall I roam around') but he believes that his detention is part of an elaborate coronation ceremony.
