Madman Lullaby
Khallice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For thinking this way
But if i am that crazy
It's cos' I'm happy this way
But crazy is the one who says
And it's unhappy this way...
I'm Alain Delon
If they are that famous
I'm Napoleon
But crazy is the one who says
And it's unhappy this way...
I swear it is better
Not to be such a normal man
If i might think as well, that God is me!
Yeah!
If they have 3 cars?
I can fly away.
If they pray that much?
I'm in heaven
But crazy is the one who says
And it's unhappy this way...
I swear it is better
Not to be such a normal man
If i might think as well, that God is me!
Yeah I am crazy
And I won't change my way
And I am not the only one
Who has found the peace
But crazy is the one who says...
I'm happy this way!
I am happy!
In "MadMan Lullaby," Khallice is expressing his contentment with being different from what society considers normal. He admits that some may consider him crazy for thinking this way, but he maintains that it's because he is happy living outside the confines of societal norms. This happiness is contrasted with those who may seem to have everything - looks, fame, possessions - but are unhappy because they are not fulfilling their true selves.
Khallice goes on to declare that he would rather not be a "normal man" and instead finds greater satisfaction in thinking beyond convention. He even claims that, to him, he might be like God. This suggests that he sees himself as someone who has achieved a level of spiritual enlightenment that others may not have - perhaps even feeling superior to them as a result. Although, he doesn't say it outright, it leaves an impression that being abnormal gives him a sense of power and freedom which others fail to attain.
In the end, Khallice is proud to be different from the masses and won't change his ways. His happiness is important to him and he refuses to conform to what others expect of him. This song is, therefore, a celebration of individuality and personal freedom even if it means society views him as a MadMan.

Some say that i´m crazy
People think I'm insane
For thinking this way
Because of my beliefs
But if i am that crazy
If I am truly insane
It's cos' I'm happy this way
It's because I find happiness in my madness
But crazy is the one who says
It's often the ones who call others crazy who are truly insane themselves
And it's unhappy this way...
They are unhappy with their own lives and try to bring others down
If they are that pretty,
If they are attractive
I'm Alain Delon
Then I too can be seen as handsome and famous
If they are that famous
If they are well-known
I'm Napoleon
Then I too can be seen as successful and powerful
I swear it is better
I truly believe that it is better
Not to be such a normal man
To not conform to societal standards of normality
If i might think as well, that God is me!
If I believe that I have the power to control my own destiny
If they have 3 cars?
If they own multiple cars
I can fly away.
I have the freedom to escape and live life on my own terms
If they pray that much?
If they are very religious
I'm in heaven
I too can find inner peace and contentment
I am happy!
I am truly happy and content with my unconventional way of life

Em qual versão do The Journey eles lançaram essa música? A décima música do disco que eu conheço é a Stuck
Adriano Machado
Sei que tem um ano que você perguntou, mas como ninguém te respondeu...
Você está correto, apenas a faixa ''Stuck'' é faixa bônus da versão física do disco The Journey.
''Madman Lullaby'' você fazia download no site deles, isso na época do lançamento do The Journey, 13 anos atrás...
Mak
Obrigado pela resposta! Você tem a música baixada do site deles? Essa no youtube não ta com a qualidade muito boa.
