Madness
Anchor & Braille Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see your raised hands
Try to explain yourself to a stone wall
I know you left bed with your words unsaid
Conversations all but killed itself, it killed itself
In the madness I'll just keep on loving you
With all I am I'll just keep on loving you
I'll just keep on loving you
I'm sorry I can't make it right as we screamed at the night
Try to apologize with just these words
Is love more, less that you leave or that you still believe
We have hope now for tomorrow
In all the mad mad madness
In the crash crash flash of light
When the pain of the needle stings
I'll just keep on loving you
The lyrics to Anchor & Braille's song "Madness" capture the complexities and challenges of a strained relationship. The opening lines suggest a heated argument, as one person sees "red" while the other raises their hands, indicating frustration or surrender. The lines "Try to explain yourself to a stone wall" depict the difficulty of communication and the feeling of talking to someone who refuses to listen or understand.
The next lines touch on the unresolved issues within the relationship, with one person leaving the bed without expressing their thoughts or feelings. It's a situation where conversations have become ineffective and only serve to harm the connection further. This lack of communication leads to the self-destruction of their relationship.
Despite the chaos and turmoil, the chorus reveals a commitment to love. The singer expresses their unwavering dedication, stating that they will continue to love the other person regardless of the circumstances or their location. It's a declaration of loyalty and perseverance in the face of madness.

The singer acknowledges their inability to "make it right" and indicates that words alone are insufficient to repair the damage caused. The question of whether love is diminished by leaving or remaining hopeful is posed, suggesting that despite the pain, there is still a glimmer of hope for a better future.
Overall, "Madness" expresses the struggles of a troubled relationship and the determination to continue loving through the chaos.
