I believe "Sanity Assassin" is about a malevolent figure who preys on vulnerable individuals. The character of the "madcap pusher delirium" is presented as a manipulative and sinister figure who lures his victims into a state of confusion and chaos. He has a cunning and insidious presence, capable of infiltrating the minds and dreams of those he targets.
The repeated lyric of him dropping a capsule (spiking) in drinks with madness conveys a sense of power and control. Also, "Sniper in the hills" and "poison in your poison" gives the idea of him being a deadly and unseen threat.
I feel like this song speaks of paranoia and vulnerability too, suggesting that the "sanity assassin" is always one step ahead and can easily manipulate and exploit his victims. He preys on their weaknesses and insecurities. The usage of "he's walking in your sleep now" gives you a sense of dread and unease, hinting at the idea that his influence extends even into the subconscious.
