Madmen
Unraveling Madness: The Poetic Odyssey of Lost Souls
Lyrics
They were born without a name
Individuals without an identity at birth.
winning every crooked game
Successfully navigating through dishonest or corrupt activities.
a different face
Having a distinct appearance or identity.
a different smile
Wearing a different smile, possibly masking true emotions or intentions.
in single order, single file
Marching in an organized manner, possibly conforming to a particular system or order.
I sit here and watch the hands of the clock
Reflecting on the passage of time while observing a clock's hands.
and wonder where is time going.
Questioning the direction and speed of time.
Pulling the strings of God
Exerting influence over others with a reference to divine authority.
answering yes to a nod
Agreeing affirmatively with a simple gesture.
the madmen have all gone insane
Those who were once considered sane have lost their sanity.
pushing the buttons of nerveless pain.
Manipulating and causing pain without feeling remorse.
They used to gas people in a poisonous way
Recalling a historical atrocity where people were killed using toxic gas in transit.
on the trains to nowhere.
Emphasizing the pointlessness or destination of certain actions or journeys.
The president's men are on TV
The president's associates are visible on television, projecting a positive image.
I love how they wave to you and me.
Expressing admiration for the public gestures of the president's associates.
If Jesus could tell the men from the snakes
If Jesus could discern between genuine individuals and deceivers, all would be revealed as deceitful.
they would all be serpents.
Highlighting a lack of true distinction between good and evil.
They sit here and watch the hands of the clock
Observing time's passage once again, emphasizing a sense of contemplation.
and wonder where is time going.
Reiterating the wonder about the direction and speed of time.
