Megalomania

Megalomania is a psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, or omnipotence or an obsession with a grandiose or extravagant things or actions. Megalomania is commonly understood as a mental behavior characterized by an excessive desire for power and glory and by illusory feelings of omnipotence. The latter can be expressed in the psychopathological form of delusions of grandeur.

Megalomaniac means self-exaltation, and to be crazy for big things. The song is about power crazed people and their destructive behavior.

one of the bad thing that megalomaniac had is: something that they cannot controlled is a threat that they have to destroy . this thing can be happen if his ego is fragile , unconfident, and cannot hiding their phobia.

I posted this thing when i listen to Megalomaniac by Incubus. The video had lots of images of famous megalomaniacs, including Hitler and George Bush. For a while, MTV refused to show it except late at night.

Brandon Boyd: "Lyrically speaking I know that there were a lot of things going on in and around the world and there were some very specific people in my mind coming dangerously close to having megalomaniacal tendencies and so I did my best to write those thoughts down."
