Crazy Train
Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
Let's go
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah
Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something' that just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
(Ha ha ha, bitch!)
The song "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne is a hard-hitting commentary on society at large. The opening lyrics capture the grim reality of millions of people living as foes, perpetuating hate and division. The lyrics are a call to action for all of us to learn how to love and forget how to hate. This message is especially poignant as mental wounds that have not yet healed leave us feeling like life is a bitter shame. The chorus "I'm going off the rails on a crazy train" expresses the frustration and desperation of feeling mentally and emotionally unstable in this type of environment.
In the second verse, the lyrics shift to talk about the influence of the media on our perception of reality. The song suggests that one person is conditioned to rule and control, and the media sells this idea to the public. The mental wounds inflicted by this conditioning continue to scream, and the result is driving the singer insane. The chorus repeats, reinforcing the idea that society is on the brink of losing its collective sanity.
The third verse continues the critique on society by exploring the "heirs of a cold war" and the troubles we have inherited. The singer is living with something that just isn't fair, and mental wounds still have not healed. The song leaves the question of who or what is to blame unanswered, highlighting the complexity of the issues society faces. Ultimately, the song tells a story of struggling to maintain sanity in a world that seems to be going off the rails.
