Mad World
Marcus Brodowski Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
Find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me, what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
Find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
The lyrics of Marcus Brodowski's "Mad World" suggest a sense of alienation and isolation within society. The song depicts a world where everybody is going through the daily grind of life, yet no one seems to be going anywhere. The singer observes how people have grown accustomed to their lives and careers, feeling trapped in their mundane existence. The use of "familiar faces" and "worn out places" emphasizes the exhaustion and repetitiveness of life, and how people barely experience anything new.
The second verse takes a more introspective turn, with the singer seemingly trying to drown their sorrows in alcohol. They sing about the lack of emotion on people's faces and the feeling of hopelessness that consumes them, ultimately leading to an inability to picture a better and brighter future. The chorus describes the individual's struggles with societal expectations and their own personal desires. They find it difficult to reconcile their own beliefs with those imposed upon them by the world they live in, causing them to feel lost and adrift.
Overall, "Mad World" explores themes of disillusionment, hopelessness, and the human desire for meaning and purpose. The lyrics suggest that there is a general sense of restlessness and longing that pervades society, and that many individuals feel trapped and unsure of their place in the world.
