Mad
Cassie Steele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling in need and greedy
Do you double in the fire?
When the devil is asleep
Do you like a brothers woman?
Let your hands say what they want
Do you like to be the villain?
If you do then come
If you missed me than Id know it
I think that this is how it should be
If you think that your word, presence are a crazy story
Baby come along with me
Angry lady, turning me crazy
Angry lady, still miss me behaving
Youre crazy just like me
Make me angry, you make me angry
Make me angry
You know Im mad, Im mad
Im mad, Im mad
I am down in the daylight
Are you happy when it rains?
Does the night make you feel alive?
Feel the dark in your veins
Do you like a little substance?
Do you like a little?
Do the hot in every moment
Make your life worth living
If you think is something
If you missed me than Id know it
I think that this is how it should be
If you think that your word, presence are a crazy story
Baby come along with me
Angry lady, turning me crazy
Angry lady, still miss me behaving
Youre crazy just like me
Make me angry, you make me angry
Make me angry
You know Im mad, Im mad
Im mad, Im mad
Now I get the feeling that well be alright
This life is worth living when you and I are fine
So let nobody tell you that your soul aint right
Because you need the darkness to enjoy the light
Angry lady, turning me crazy
Angry lady, still miss me behaving
Youre crazy just like me
Make me angry, you make me angry
Make me angry
You know Im mad, Im mad
Im mad, Im mad
Angry lady, turning me crazy
Angry lady, still miss me behaving
Youre crazy just like me
Make me angry, you make me angry
Make me angry
You know Im mad, Im mad
Im mad, Im mad
You know what I want
You know what I want
The lyrics of Cassie Steele's song Mad are quite cryptic and lend themselves to multiple interpretations. At its core, the song seems to be about two individuals who are similar in their madness and volatile behavior, yet can't stay away from each other. The lyrics are framed as a series of questions and statements, almost like a conversation between the two individuals.
The first few lines of the song speak to the theme of lying and greed. The lines "Do you feel higher as a liar? Feeling in need and greedy" suggest that one of the individuals enjoys the feeling of lying and getting away with it, and is motivated by a sense of need and greed. The next set of lines, "Do you double in the fire? When the devil is asleep, do you like a brother's woman? Let your hands say what they want," suggest that the individual is not just a liar but also takes pleasure in engaging in taboo behaviors, such as having an affair with a family member's partner.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "Angry lady, turning me crazy," suggesting that the second individual is a woman who embodies the same madness and anger as the first individual. The lines "If you think that your word, presence are a crazy story, Baby come along with me" seem to be an invitation from the first individual to the second individual to join them in their madness, suggesting that they understand each other in ways that others don't.
The bridge of the song takes a slightly more optimistic turn, suggesting that the two individuals might be able to find some sense of equilibrium in their relationship. The lines "Now I get the feeling that we'll be alright, this life is worth living when you and I are fine, so let nobody tell you that your soul ain't right, because you need the darkness to enjoy the light" suggest that the two individuals are meant to be together, even though they both have their issues.
Overall, Mad is a song that taps into the idea of finding solace in someone who is just as messed up as you are. The song's haunting melody and stark lyrics make for a powerful listening experience.

Cassie, I don't know if you'll ever see this, but your music has helped me through some difficult times. Knowing someone else relates to things I deal with is super helpful. I'm 31 now and have been listening for about 14 years. Thanks for your music and presence in the world 😊
