Mad at the World
Raging Against the Silence: Unraveling the Emotional Depths of 'Mad at the World'
Lyrics
I'm not staying, I'm not staying around
Leaving or not staying around
I'm not staying, I'm not staying around
Reiterating the decision not to stay
How did you get get get, so down
Questioning how someone became so emotionally low
I cannot pick you up, I cannot even pick up myself
Expressing inability to provide support, both for the person and oneself
You're only happy when you're, mad at the world
Observing that the person finds happiness in being upset with the world
How can I stay mad at you
Expressing difficulty in staying angry with the person
Count the scars on your skin
Encouraging an examination of emotional scars
A cry for help, or a cry for attention
Pondering whether the person's actions are a genuine cry for help or simply seeking attention
I'm not staying, I'm not staying around
Reiterating the decision not to stay or remain in the current situation
I cannot pick you up, when nothing is ever good enough
Acknowledging the inability to uplift the person when nothing seems satisfactory
You're only happy when you're, mad at the world
Highlighting that the person's happiness is linked to being upset with the world
How can I stay mad at you
Expressing the challenge of staying angry with the person
You're only happy when you're, mad at the world
Repeating the idea that the person's happiness is connected to being mad at the world
How can I stay mad
Reiterating the difficulty in staying mad at the person
It always has to go this way
Commenting on the inevitability of a particular negative pattern
You thrive on conflict, you live to complain
Observing a tendency to thrive on conflict and complaining
Tears of a crocodile, advertise your suicide
Connecting the person's tears to a false display of emotions and hinting at self-destructive tendencies
Your half empty cup, runneth over
Metaphorically describing emotional overflow using an imagery of a cup
Your scarred wrists, a child's fists
Describing physical and emotional wounds, possibly from a troubled past
You're only happy when you're, mad at the world
Reiterating the connection between the person's happiness and being mad at the world
How can I stay mad at you
Expressing the ongoing challenge of staying angry with the person
You're only happy when you're, mad at the world
Reiterating the link between the person's happiness and anger towards the world
How can I stay mad at you
Repeating the challenge of staying angry with the person
Can I stay mad at you
Pondering the possibility of remaining angry with the person
