Mad World
•Adam Lambert• Lyrics

All around me are familiar faces
I am surrounded by the same old people who have lost their spark and passion.

Worn out spaces, worn out places
The surroundings are looking shabby and dull, representing a lack of effort and creativity.

Bright and early for the daily races
People are eager to start their daily routine and run the same old rat race every day.

Goin' nowhere, goin' nowhere
Despite the eagerness to participate in daily routine, it is leading nowhere, and people are feeling stuck.

And their tears are fillin' up their glasses
People are trying to hide their emotions by drinking away their sorrow, but it's not helping.

No expression, no expression
Everyone is putting up a facade of being okay instead of expressing their true feelings.

Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
I am feeling overwhelmed and defeated, and I want to escape by drowning myself in misery.

No tomorrow, no tomorrow
The future seems bleak and hopeless, and I can't see anything improving in the near future.

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
I have a mixed feeling of humor and sadness, seeing how life is turning out for everyone around me.

The dreams in which I'm dyin' are the best I ever had
The only escape from the sad reality is in my dreams, where I can find peace and comfort even if it's resembling death.

I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
It is difficult for me to share these emotions with someone else, and accepting them feels heavy.

When people run in circles it's a very, very
Everyone is running in the same direction and not making any progress, making it a never-ending cycle.

Mad world, mad world
The world is crazy, and the chaos is unbearable.

Children waitin' for the day they feel good
Even innocent children are waiting for something better and brighter to happen to feel good and optimistic about the future.

Happy birthday, happy birthday
Birthdays that are supposed to be happy and joyful, are just another day with no real reason to celebrate.

Made to feel the way that every child should
Children are expected to feel a certain way and conform to the societal norms that are forced upon them.

Sit and listen, sit and listen
Children are not encouraged to speak up and use their voice but rather remain silent and keep listening.

Went to school and I was very nervous
The education system is not facilitating growth and development but making students more anxious and nervous.

No one knew me, no one knew me
There is a lack of personalization in educational institutions, and students feel like just another number.

Hello teacher, tell me what's my lesson?
Students are questioning the purpose of their education and what exactly they are supposed to learn.

Look right through me, look right through me
Teachers are not taking the time to understand and connect with students, failing to see their individual needs and struggles.

Mad world, mad world
The world is crazy, and it's affecting every aspect of life, from education to personal relationships.
