I haven't got more than this, maybe it's totally wrong, I 
haven't played more than the beginning, that part sounds 
quite good. 
The rhythm guitar plays very weird and unfinished
lines, the rhythm varies between 4/4, 3/4 and 5/4:

I personally think it is not about insanity, but a close cousin, paranoia. Perhaps its about someone who entered witness protection and is paranoid and fearful for the criminal after him. "Fighting the Fear of Fear" -Paranoid fear of the criminal "Growing Conspiracy"- Conspiracy and paranoia are linked. "Everyone's after Me"- His paranoia makes him trust no one, hes jumpy and is suspecting of everyone. Of coarse, insanity might(more than likely) be the main plot, but just posting my opinion.
