Madhouse
(((S))) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My heart is like a big house
Full of ghosts and rats
A house without a window
And darkness livin'inside
So you came little Babe
And you turned on the lights
So you came little Baby
And you turned on the lights
You saw monsters they made you cry
You blew the lights and hide
My hearts is...
Now Baby won't you come back
Baby won't you come back
Won't you come back again
Voix off: She told me just before she's gone
That I'm a sucker I'm a punk
I'm violent everytime I'm drunk
She just can't stand a Wino Man
Had a dream last nigth
it was so bright
You! or was it Mr Hide?




Voix off: That's when the moon felt down, right up from the sky...
And broke my heart into pieces

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of (((S)))'s Madhouse paint a picture of a heart that is like a big, dark and uninviting house full of ghosts and rats. The metaphor of the heart as a house is extended by the use of the word 'window' - the house (heart) is without a window, which suggests an emotional blockage and lack of transparency. However, the arrival of 'little Babe' (perhaps a child or a lover) changes everything as they 'turned on the lights.' The act of someone coming into the heart, turning on the lights, and filling it with love is a powerful metaphor of the transformative power of love.


But turning on the lights also reveals the hidden monsters and darkness that lay within the heart. The arrival of the Babe leads to an emotional outburst, even causing the singer to 'blow the lights' and hide, further symbolising the struggle to come to terms with one's inner demons. The longing for the Babe to return is a final plea to bring the light back into the dark heart.


The lyrics are powerfully evocative of the psychological and emotional struggles that people can face. The metaphor of the heart as a house is both powerful and universal. The song speaks to the idea that love can have a profound transformational effect, but it also recognises the difficulties that come with facing up to one's inner demons. It is a song that is both powerfully raw and emotionally resonant.
