Goin' Crazy
Dizzee Rascal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wake up in the afternoon
Cover up the mirror
Just to get a better view
Been around the world and never even left the room
And I, I can't figure out
Why? So I just scream and shout
I believe I'm going crazy
Going crazy, going crazy
I believe I'm losing my mind
Everybody's looking at me, but I don't see them
Living for the weekend, caught in the deep end
Tryin'a tread water, do it for my unborn daughter
Lamb to the slaughter, life's getting shorter
Tryin'a get high off a quarter
I'm fly in a saucer, my life is a corker
Star, pop bottles, date top models
Middle finger in the air, not a care, going full throttle
Where's the love though?
Nobody cares about that, where's the club?
Where's the drugs though? Front row
Follow the flow, Megaupload
Feel the adrenaline rush, who's the mug though? I don't know
I, I can't figure out
Why?
So I just scream and shout?
I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe I'm going crazy
Going crazy, going crazy
I believe I'm losing my mind
Living in a bubble, my life is a puzzle
I'm caught in the rubble, now pass me a shovel
Now pass me a shot, and make it a double
I'm a whole lot of trouble and I don't do subtle
It's all or nothing, I don't wanna juggle
No crabs in a bucket, I don't wanna huddle
I've got my own name, tryn'a figure out the whole game
Going insane, 150 in the slow lane
Getting ahead of myself
I'm already thinking how can I better myself
Should I be somebody else? Should I be pacing myself?
I'm high as a rocket, and if I get too carried away
There would be no one to stop it
I, I can't figure out
Why?
So I just scream and shout?
I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe I'm going crazy
Going crazy, going crazy
I believe I'm losing my mind
Tryin'a get a hold of
Tryin'a get a hold of you
Tryin'a get control of
Tryin'a get control of me
I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe I'm going crazy
Going crazy, going crazy
I believe I'm losing my mind
In "Goin' Crazy", Dizzee Rascal and Robbie Williams reflect upon the madness of the world and the pressures of fame as they seemingly lose their grip on reality. The opening lines of the song, "Every single morning, wake up in the afternoon, cover up the mirror just to get a better view", suggest a sense of disassociation from oneself and everyday life. The lyrics then go on to express a fear of losing control, with lines like "Living in a bubble, my life is a puzzle, I'm caught in the rubble, now pass me a shovel", indicating a struggle to make sense of the chaos.
In the chorus, Dizzee and Williams repeatedly declare "I believe I'm going crazy, going crazy, going crazy, I believe I'm losing my mind", hinting at a sense of desperation and a need for help. The song further delves into the pressures of fame, with lines like "Star, pop bottles, date top models, middle finger in the air, not a care, going full throttle". The final lines, "Tryin'a get a hold of you, Tryin'a get control of me", suggest a desire to regain a sense of grounding and control amidst the madness.
Overall, "Goin' Crazy" deals with themes of dissociation, fame, and the potential spiral into madness that can come with it.

Every single morning
Every day starts anew
Wake up in the afternoon
I sleep late and wake up late
Cover up the mirror
I avoid looking at myself
Just to get a better view
So that I don't have to see my reflection
Been around the world and never even left the room
I feel like I'm stuck in one place
And I, I can't figure out
I'm confused and lost
Why? So I just scream and shout
I express my frustration by yelling
I believe, I believe, I believe
I have faith that
I believe I'm going crazy
I think I'm losing my mind
Going crazy, going crazy
Becoming increasingly unstable
I believe I'm losing my mind
I'm afraid I'm going insane
Everybody's looking at me, but I don't see them
I feel like people are watching, but I don't acknowledge them
Living for the weekend, caught in the deep end
I'm just trying to survive until the weekend
Tryin'a tread water, do it for my unborn daughter
I'm trying to stay afloat, for the sake of my future child
Lamb to the slaughter, life's getting shorter
I feel like I'm helpless and my time is running out
Tryin'a get high off a quarter
I'm trying to get high off drugs
I'm fly in a saucer, my life is a corker
I feel like I'm on top of the world
Star, pop bottles, date top models
Living the high life
Middle finger in the air, not a care, going full throttle
I don't care about anything, I'm just living in the moment
Where's the love though?
Why is love so hard to find?
Nobody cares about that, where's the club?
No one cares about love, they just want to party
Where's the drugs though? Front row
Where can I find drugs? Let me be first in line
Follow the flow, Megaupload
Go with the crowd, do what everyone else is doing
Feel the adrenaline rush, who's the mug though? I don't know
I feel alive and don't care about the consequences
Living in a bubble, my life is a puzzle
I feel like I'm isolated and my life is confusing
I'm caught in the rubble, now pass me a shovel
I'm stuck in a bad situation and need a way out
Now pass me a shot, and make it a double
Give me a drink, and make it strong
I'm a whole lot of trouble and I don't do subtle
I'm a wild and unpredictable person
It's all or nothing, I don't wanna juggle
I don't want to balance multiple things at once
No crabs in a bucket, I don't wanna huddle
I don't want to be held back by others
I've got my own name, tryn'a figure out the whole game
I want to make a name for myself and understand the world
Going insane, 150 in the slow lane
I'm losing my mind and doing reckless things
Getting ahead of myself
Thinking too far ahead
I'm already thinking how can I better myself
Always looking to improve
Should I be somebody else? Should I be pacing myself?
Questioning my identity and my choices
I'm high as a rocket, and if I get too carried away
I'm on a high and might take it too far
There would be no one to stop it
No one to intervene
Tryin'a get a hold of
Trying to reach out to
Tryin'a get a hold of you
Trying to talk to you
Tryin'a get control of
Trying to manage
Tryin'a get control of me
Trying to manage my life
