Madde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To tell me what's on your mind
You can kill the man but you can't kill the idea
That ran off on its own we built upon a dream
That belted out itself, now let us maintain unity
My brothers and sisters, tell me the glory your eyes have seen
I want you
To tell me what's on your mind
We promise to
Put our fists so the sky
And carry on til' the end of time
Evil ain't nothin' compared
To those who don't say a thing
Oh, deep in my heart I do believe in someday
What's normal for the spider is bedlam for the fly
With misconception as the divider, we have to question why
These names should never be left untouched
The bombs dropped will always explode at home
We don't have, we don't have to hate
I'm so thankful to be able to ask why and still keep my life
I want you
To tell me what's on your mind
We promise to
Put our fists so the sky
And carry on til' the end of time
The lyrics to Madde's song "Clockwise" delve into themes of individuality, unity, social justice, and questioning societal norms. The opening lines, "I want you to tell me what's on your mind," set the stage for a call to open communication and honesty in relationships. The following lines, "You can kill the man but you can't kill the idea," suggest the resilience of ideas and beliefs, even in the face of oppression or violence. The idea that "ran off on its own we built upon a dream" speaks to the power of collective dreaming and the importance of maintaining unity despite challenges.
The lyrics further touch upon the idea of speaking out against injustice, as seen in the lines "Evil ain't nothin' compared to those who don't say a thing." This emphasizes the importance of using one's voice to stand up against wrongdoing and inequality. The reference to "what's normal for the spider is bedlam for the fly" highlights the idea that perspectives and experiences can differ significantly, and what may seem ordinary or acceptable to some can be chaotic or harmful to others.
The lyrics also address the impact of violence and conflict, with lines such as "These names should never be left untouched, the bombs dropped will always explode at home." This serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of the world and the consequences of violence that often hit close to home. The mention of questioning misconceptions and refusing to harbor hatred reinforces the idea of seeking understanding and empathy rather than succumbing to division and prejudice.
In conclusion, the repeated chorus of "I want you to tell me what's on your mind, we promise to put our fists to the sky and carry on till the end of time" conveys a message of solidarity, communication, and perseverance. The song encourages both introspection and dialogue, advocating for a shared commitment to standing up for justice, fostering unity, and continually striving for a better world.

I want you
I desire for you to share your thoughts with me
To tell me what's on your mind
Express what you are thinking
You can kill the man but you can't kill the idea
Physical harm can't destroy a powerful concept
That ran off on its own we built upon a dream
The concept evolved independently and we developed it into a vision
That belted out itself, now let us maintain unity
The idea spoke for itself, now let's keep harmony
My brothers and sisters, tell me the glory your eyes have seen
Share the wonder you have witnessed with me, my family
We promise to
We commit to
Put our fists so the sky
Raise our hands towards the sky in unity
And carry on til' the end of time
Persist until the end of eternity
Evil ain't nothin' compared
Evil is insignificant when compared
To those who don't say a thing
To those who remain silent
Oh, deep in my heart I do believe in someday
I have faith in a future day in my heart
What's normal for the spider is bedlam for the fly
What's usual for one may be chaos for another
With misconception as the divider, we have to question why
With misunderstandings separating us, we must examine the reasons
These names should never be left untouched
These identities shouldn't be ignored
The bombs dropped will always explode at home
Violence affects us all, even within our own societies
We don't have, we don't have to hate
We are not required to hold hatred within us
I'm so thankful to be able to ask why and still keep my life
I am grateful for the ability to question and continue living

Absolutely excellent. Your piece has long been the anthem for my hometown's shooting, but now represents the tragedies and hopes for today and ever after.
