Mad World
[Preview] Hardwell feat. Jake Reese Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes it feels like my life's a battle
And I think I'm losing my mind
When all that surrounds me is made of shadows

I'm just a lost soul that's made of paper
But your touch can color the white
And bring back the beauty into my life
'Cause it's a mad world but it's crazy
Crazy how you make the bad turn to amazing
And I don't want to lose this now
I don't want to lose this now
No, I don't want to lose this now
'Cause it's a mad world

Were both strangers finding our way together
Like two lights that dance through the dark
We shine bright and fade out into forever

And I'm trying to hold back the way I'm feeling
But you make me come back to life
Yeah, you've got me going insane tonight (tonight, tonight)

'Cause it's a mad world but it's crazy
Crazy how you make the bad turn to amazing
And I don't want to lose this now
I don't want to lose this now
No, I don't want to lose this now
'Cause it's a mad world





'Cause it's a mad world, oh oh

We shine bright and fade out into forever
Our light radiates so intensely, then disappears in the eternal abyss.

I'm doing my utmost to conceal the emotions within me.
