Mad
Luke Wade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She found that red lipstick on his collar again
She went mad
He went mad
They went mad
She was waiting there
In her rocking chair
And she went mad
He went mad
They went mad
This life gets so long and I felt so alone
Me a working man, you, your mother on the phone
And I felt like giving up each and every day
Instead I found a way to throw it all away
He went mad
He arrived to the barrel of a gun
Nothin' left to say
He knows exactly what he's done
She went mad
He went mad
They went mad
And this life gets so long and I felt so alone
Me a workin' man, you, your mother on the phone
And I felt like giving up each and every day
Instead I found a way to throw it all away
And he went mad
And she went
She went mad
The song, Mad by Luke Wade, talks about a couple who have gone mad. The song begins by saying that the woman has found red lipstick on her partner's collar, and she knows exactly where he's been. This situation has caused both of them to go mad. The woman was waiting for him in a rocking chair, and all she is left with is a blank stare. It's unclear whether she's mad because of the infidelity or if the situation has caused mental health issues. It's also not clear if the man went mad because of his guilt or how the woman reacted to the situation.
As the song continues, the man talks about how life gets so long, and he and the woman have felt alone. He's a working man, and she talks to her mother on the phone. The man says that he felt like giving up every day, but he found a way to throw everything away. It's possible that he's talking about giving up on the relationship, but it could also mean giving up on life in general. The song ends with the man arriving at the barrel of a gun, knowing what he's done, and the woman going mad once again.
The lyrics of the song showcase how two people can go mad in a relationship. It highlights how infidelity can cause mental health issues in a relationship, and it's unclear if they were already there or if this particular issue caused it. The final scene of the man arriving at the barrel of the gun is quite intense and demonstrates how relationships can go to extremes.
