Gone Mad
Gone Mad: A Surreal Reflection on a Chaotic World
Lyrics
I try to eat but I couldn't stomach it
Struggling to consume something, possibly a metaphor for difficulty accepting or digesting a situation.
Maybe I'll fall asleep but it's just too hard to miss
Contemplating sleep as a means of escape, but finding it challenging due to overwhelming emotions.
Stuck in the news, the news feed, my body's giving up on me so easily
Feeling overwhelmed by constant exposure to negative news and social media, leading to physical fatigue.
Things used to be so sweet, I could spend a week by the giving tree
Reflecting on a past time of happiness and simplicity, possibly referencing childhood innocence.
Gone Mad, the world's Gone Mad
Expressing a state of madness or chaos in the world.
Gone Mad, the world's gone terribly mad
Reiterating the theme of a world in a state of madness, emphasizing its severity.
Maybe it's just the way that the mirror speaks
Suggesting self-reflection through a mirror, portraying inner conflict and questioning.
Looks back with a question and a kiss to split me down the seams
The mirror's gaze causing internal turmoil, possibly representing self-doubt and emotional vulnerability.
Vases in places where trophies should be, strange becomes faces once friendly to me
Noticing displacement of meaningful achievements by trivial items, and feeling estranged from familiar faces.
Drugs and the medicine mix in a time machine to wipe me clean
Describing a mix of drugs and medicine as a metaphorical time machine for escape or renewal.
I talked to my god and she was nice enough to say
Having a conversation with a higher power, seeking solace or guidance.
Gone Mad, the world's Gone Mad
Repeating the theme of the world being in a state of madness.
Gone Mad, the world's gone terribly mad
Emphasizing the severity of the world's madness.
Gone Mad, the world's Gone Mad
Reiterating the chaotic state of the world.
Gone Mad, the world's gone terribly mad
Underlining the intense madness prevailing in the world.
What we know is a drop, drop, drop
Highlighting the limited nature of human understanding, using "drop" as a metaphor for knowledge.
What we know is a drop, drop, drop
Repeating the idea that our knowledge is limited.
Said what we know is a drop, drop, just a drop
Stating that what is known is minimal, possibly suggesting the vastness of the unknown.
What we know is a drop
Emphasizing the idea that human understanding is a small fraction of the vastness of knowledge.
What I don't is an ocean
Contrasting the limited knowledge with the vastness of what is unknown, creating a sense of insignificance.
Gone Mad, the world's Gone Mad
Repeating the theme of a world in a state of madness.
Gone Mad, the world's gone terribly mad
Reiterating the severity of the world's madness.
Gone Mad, the world's Gone Mad
Stating again that the world is in a state of madness.
Gone Mad, the world's gone terribly mad
Emphasizing the intensity of the world's madness.
