Mad
Ceramic Animal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got some place to be
But if you leave now
Then where will my loving be
Hey watch the way you talk to me
I′m running out of sympathy
I'll burn it all down
I look at you, just sitting there
The comfort of your haunting stare
Thinking about if it ever was to be
You close your eyes and no surprise
Bombard me with those precious lies
Going on about the way it was
And it is all because
Oh darling baby
Oh darling baby
Oh darling baby oh no
You′re driving me mad
Darling baby
Oh no
Where you going honey
You walk right out the door
But if you leave now
Then whats my loving
With no remorse and no reserve
You stomped what we had into the curb
Picking me apart baby 1 x 1
Is this what you do for fun???
When I hold you
It's a bitter feeling
Cause you've thrown it all away
What they told you
Yeah forget what they said
Cause they were falcon lame
The lyrics of Ceramic Animal's song "Mad" is a depiction of the tumultuous relationship between two lovers. The song starts off with the singer questioning his lover's departure and expressing his confusion about where she could be going. He then goes on to express his frustration with the way she speaks to him and the lack of sympathy he's been shown. The chorus of the song features the repetition of the phrase "darling baby" which could be interpreted as a sarcastic tone or as the singer expressing his affection despite being treated with disregard. The lyrics then delve into an introspective take on the relationship, with the singer commenting on the way his lover looks at him with a "haunting stare" and the idea of "if it ever was to be". The bridge of the song is where the singer expresses his anger with his lover's actions and how she's destroyed what they had. The song clearly showcases a toxic relationship where the singer is being treated unfairly and has his heart broken.
The line "burn it all down, burn it down to the ground" could signify destroying everything that they have together because of his lover's actions. The line "when I hold you, it's a bitter feeling" highlights the fact that even though the singer cares for his lover, it hurts to hold onto a failed relationship. The line "forget what they said cause they were falcon lame" symbolizes the outside influences that may have led to the failure of the relationship. Overall, the lyrics of "Mad" depict a tumultuous relationship with the singer questioning his lover's actions and expressing his disappointment and anger while still holding onto the love that was once there.
