Madness
Jay-Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sitting inside; silence, so difficult!
Sat within my mind; nine different flows;
Lines I have wrote; rhymes that're dope, that'll blow!
Riots in my throat; lights in my dome, bright bulbs;
That I'm tryna to evolve; but what I hold; fires that are cold -
Trying to control, binds which I've sowed
Ocean of woes pouring in my boat!
While boared into holes;
While bullshit revolves from 4 different soles;
Can't afford to leave home; unfortunate truth
What should I do? Lord see me through!
Locked in my room forced to remove myself from society!
The talk of the group; water won't do, vodka to soothe;
Walk in the booth; spew!
I'm lost in the - (Madness!)
No hope in the - (Madness!)
I'm lost in the - (Madness!)
Go home to the - (Madness!)
I'm lost - (Madness!) (Madness!) (Madness!)
I'm lost - (Madness!) (Madness!) (Madness!)
I'm lost in the - (Madness!)
But forced - (Madness!)
But forced (Madness!)
But forced into (Madness!)
What route should I take?
Resuscitate beefs from in May; weed so I blaze!
We trepidate; fear where we lay; beards getting grey;
Weird serenade sung by a Jay -
Bird up at hate! Burned up in flames!
Words hurt; I'm in pain!
While searching to chase;
Perversions of brain
Neurosurgeon would say I'm a psycho, insane
But why go in a cycle? suicidal!
Sike; woah! Pack up my rope!
Get the Nyquil; now my nights go, locked inside; woah, n
Now I'm back at the stage where my mind slows
And I might go; crazy, psycho, loco!
Fuck the Robo's! Shut my phone down, cos its so loud!
Every fucking ping from my IG spirals me;
Back to my low end!
I'm lost in the - (Madness!)
No hope in the - (Madness!)
I'm lost in the - (Madness!)
Go home to the - (Madness!)
I'm lost - (Madness!) (Madness!) (Madness!)
I'm lost - (Madness!) (Madness!) (Madness!)
I'm lost in the - (Madness!)
But forced - (Madness!)
But forced (Madness!)
But forced into (Madness!)
I'm lost in the- (Madness!)
All my thoughts are in - (Madness!)
When I fought this winter -
Did I fall right into - (Madness!)
I laughed when they said it, said it - (Madness!)
I'm too strong to be tripping, tripping! (Madness!)
Too involved to be sitting, sitting! (Madness!)
Now i'm killing, killing, feeling, feelings
Fuck i think I'm slipping, slipping! (Madness!)
I'm lost in the - (Madness!)
No hope in the - (Madness!)
I'm lost in the - (Madness!)
Go home to the - (Madness!)

he doesn't need to be a salesman, hasn't needed to for years,
so now he can be as racist as he wants to be,
until something/someone stops him?
he's being so foolish tho, karma doesn't hit us where we expect it,
in a way where we can handle it,

Hmm. I'm not American so here... We don't really throw around such diagnosis.. But i think perhaps I might be considered bipolar, and know others who would also be.
I try to help myself by grounding myself in my work and the material.
I've never had anyone pander to my crazy thoughts.
So it's been easy, with time, to bottle them, and then ignore them.. And mostly forget them.
And of course we have to accept our position in reality, most of society and occurances will always be outside our influence or control - beyond our direct actions.
Perhaps we are fragments of God (equally with everyone else), but a far cry from 'being God' obviously.
But I have known people who flew a little too close to the sun and never really recovered or reintegrated into society.
I don't put much faith in mental health workers, from personal experience.
An individual really just needs the capacity to be able to make their own adjustments and repair themselves, and there is definitely enough information available to 'us' in order for that to happen.
If someone is too far gone.. Well that's just too bad. At least that would seem to be how it is here, from experience.

Honestly, I'm impressed by the levels of edition this video has, I think this may be the best edited video on this platform, at least when it comes to something done by individuals instead of corporations. You should feel proud of that, because editing and your way of talking made this long video an easy ride, even when I had to stop watching a couple times because of time.
After watching this video, I can say my opinion about Kanye has shifted a little, but not that far from what I thought before, and it's not really a good thing. I understand and celebrate the guy being one of the most important names in hip hop history, both as a rapper and a producer, and I fully understand the media has a thing on him because he's become such an easy target, but when it comes to Kanye as a public figure, I think understanding him is far simpler than what lots of people tend to think:
Kanye seems to me a guy who wants to have his cake, and eat it too. He wants to be pretty much the advocate for people who struggles with mental illnesses (bipolar disorder in this case) while bragging about not getting the help he clearly needs because, and I quote, "pills kill his creativity." I don't really mind about the message he sends with that because, at the end of the day, he's a human and not a machine, but you can't use bipolar disorder as a shield to hide behind after doing shitty things and then refuse to act to improve as a person. Lots of people with bipolar disorder, or even more complicated issues with their mental health, at least try to understand their problems are not excuses to harm other people.
Let's be honest for a second: I fully agree Kanye doesn't deserve the constant harassment media put him under, but, did Taylor Swift deserve what happened to her at the VMAs, and then having her carreer almost destroyed by what both Kim and Kanye knew were lies? Did Billie Eilish deserve to be targeted by Kanye just because she cared for a fan not to die? Does Kim Kardashian deserve to be in a spot where she practically has to beg Kanye to stop posting all that stuff about her and their children online, just for him to post said conversation on his Instagram, all while being in a relationship with someone else? Patterns aside, if you think the answer to at least one of those questions is a no, then you understand my point. I'm all for humanizing Kanye, but not for dehumanizing the people he went against practically because yes.
To me, modern Kanye is not insane, and is actually a person pretty easy to understand. He's his own worst enemy, and his public role of believing himself a God truly got him at some point. The guy is a musical genius and I won't be the one who denies his legacy, but he has the resources to find the help he clearly needs, yet he refuses to get it because he practically surrounds himself with yes-men, and he knows he will have the support of lots of his fanbase regardless of what he does. Again, the man is in an incredible amount of pain I can't even imagine, but that's not an excuse to ignore his shitty behavior. That's not de-estigmatizing mental illnesses, that's adding another layer of misinformation.
The saddest part about this is that all of this has actually diminished my opinion on his music, not because "OMG THE GUY'S A MONSTER" because I listen to people who have said and done FAR worst shit than Kanye, but because... how am I supposed to believe the so-called introspection of his lyrics, when he falls over and over again to the traps he sets to himself? Put any of this next to a Mr. Morale or a Melt My Eyez, and there's no comparison in this. I honestly hope Kanye can redeem himself, but I see it more and more difficult each passing day.

@@Touriquette " I'm a YouTube comment not a historian lol. "
I didn't expect you to be one, but I was hoping you would know where a quote is from before writing it down and attributing it to someone.
"Either way the meaning matters more rather than who it originates from"
Ideally yes, in reality this isn't the case. People love quoting intellectuals, because it makes them feel like they are on the same tier as them. Which is why people misattribute quotes to them a lot.
Regardless quote is nice, though reductive because of its snappiness.
