Madness
What if it's genius
Genius
But the people that are mad aren't structured to know
Meaning humans
Humans
Show me a soul I could never know
Show me a place to another world
Circling inside my head
Wishing everyday I'm dead
Taking everything from me
Making out I could not see
Seduce me
Take my soul you're in control
Reduce me
Take my soul you're in control
Show me a place to another world
Show me a soul I could never know
Show me a place to another world
Madness

Show me a place to another world
Show me a soul I could never know

In the song "Madness" by Endo, the lyrics speak to the inner turmoil and confusion of the mind. The repetition of "Madness" and "Genius" highlights the thin line between creativity and insanity, and how society often cannot distinguish the two. The chorus, "Show me a place to another world, Show me a soul I could never know," represents a desire to escape reality and explore a different world, possibly one where one's mental state is not questioned.
The verses further emphasize the struggle within the mind, with lines such as "Circling inside my head, Wishing everyday I'm dead." The singer feels trapped in their own thoughts and desires to be free from the pain and confusion. The line "Seduce me, Take my soul you're in control" can be interpreted as a plea to escape the burden of one's own mind, even if it means losing control to something else.
Overall, the song portrays the complex and sometimes unsettling emotions that come with mental health struggles. It questions society's understanding of madness and genius, and highlights the desire for an escape from that which cannot be understood.
