@Mad about you
Hooverphonic Lyrics

Feel the vibe
Suggesting that the artist senses something in the air, some sort of inexplicable, hard-to-pinpoint energy.

Feel the terror
The artist senses something fearful or worrying happening, but is not sure what it is.

Feel the pain
The artist is feeling some sort of emotional pain, possibly as a result of being in love or longing for someone.

It's driving me insane
The pain and confusion the artist is feeling is overwhelming them to the point of madness.

I can't fake
The artist is being honest and genuine in their feelings for this person, and cannot pretend otherwise.

For God's sake why am I driving in the wrong lane
The artist is questioning why they are pursuing someone who may not be good for them, or why they are going about their pursuit in the wrong way.

Trouble is my middle name
The artist is familiar with and perhaps accustomed to experiencing difficulties in life and relationships.

But in the end I'm not too bad
The artist may have flaws, but they are ultimately good-hearted and worth getting to know.

Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be so mad about you
The artist is questioning whether their intense feelings are justified, or whether they are in fact unhealthy or misguided.

Mad about you
The chorus suggests that the artist is completely infatuated with this person and cannot get enough of them.

Are you the fishy wine who will give me a headache in the morning
The artist is asking whether this person is someone who will ultimately cause them harm or pain, despite the initial allure.

Or just a dark blue land mine that will explode without a decent warning
Another way of saying that this person could be dangerous or unstable, and may hurt the artist suddenly and unexpectedly.

Give me all your true hate and I'll translate it in our bed
The artist is asking for honesty and authenticity in this relationship, even if it means confronting difficult emotions. They believe that sharing pain and anger can ultimately lead to better intimacy.

Into never seen passion, never seen passion
By being genuinely vulnerable and exploring their emotions together, the artist believes that they can create a truly unique and passionate bond with this person.

Mad about you
Repeating the chorus to emphasize that the artist is still deeply infatuated with this person.

Trouble is your middle name
Now turning the focus to the person they're singing to, suggesting that this person is also not immune to difficulties and struggles.

But in the end you're not too bad
Despite whatever baggage this person may carry, the artist still sees their good side and is drawn to them regardless.

Give me all your true hate and I'll translate it in your bed
Repeating the earlier line to suggest that this connection needs honesty and openness to survive.

Into never seen passion
Still believing that true intimacy comes from exploring every part of oneself, even the painful or difficult parts.

Mad about you
The song ends with one last repetition of the chorus, cementing the idea that the artist is deeply enamored with this person.
