Voices
Maddthelin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it a craving? I'll heave a sigh
How is it that the spirals begin to unwind?
Is this a statement sent through the vines?
Is it the universe that's been deciding what goes on in time?
Lead me (through the doorway, what do you say?)
Through this (never ending labyrinth)
and end this misery with all these voices in my head
Around and around we go!
If you're real, I'll never know.




I see it but is it so?!
Hailing from the world below

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Maddthelin's song Voices depict a person struggling with their own thoughts and the constant battle in their mind. The first verse suggests confusion and uncertainty about a desire or need, with the singer questioning how their thoughts can spiral out of control. The second line of the verse also suggests the possibility that the universe may be playing a role in their life course.


The chorus of the song amplifies the theme of confusion and disorientation. The line, "around and around we go," suggests a cyclical thought process that the singer cannot get out of. The repeated phrase "If you're real, I'll never know" captures the sense of detachment and ungroundedness that comes with such patterns of thought.


The final line of the chorus, "hailing from the world below," suggests a struggle with depression or anxiety, with the "world below" serving as a metaphor for a dark and troubled mental state. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of desperation for relief from the burdensome "voices in my head."
