Chaos
Masketta Man Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m trying to make my way through this life out of your way
Out of your way
I never want to bother no one for anything
Still I get pressed every day, on the street, in an alleyway
There's trouble everywhere I turn
An honest life is not worth living if you gotta live kicking and screaming
As the world around you burns
It′s chaos outside
What can you do about it?
It's chaos outside
I think I'm gonna die out there

Chaos, chaos now
Chaos, chaos now

I guess the jokes one me cuz I can hear you laughing
I can hear you laughing
I can hear you laugh ′bout no particular thing
But it still racks my brain and drives me totally crazy
Guess I have to see the funny side of it
Maybe then I won′t be so cut up about it

Chaos, chaos now
Chaos, chaos now

It's chaos outside
What can you do about it?
It′s chaos outside
I think I'm gonna die out there

We live in a society
Everybody′s a celebrity
Brought together by our own anxieties
But you can't help but laugh

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

If you can′t beat them, join them
If you can't join them, beat them
There's gotta be a place for me
So gimme, gimme, gimme some

Chaos, chaos now




Chaos, chaos now
Chaos, chaos now

Overall Meaning

In Masketta Man's song "Chaos," the lyrics depict the struggles of life and the difficulties that come with living, especially when trying to stay out of people's way. The singer never wants to bother anyone, yet they still feel pushed and pressured every day, with trouble following them wherever they go. The chaos of the world can seem overwhelming, and an honest life doesn't seem worth living when everything around them is burning. The singer then muses about the absurdity of life, how even though they hear people laughing about nothing in particular, it still drives them crazy. They almost seem resigned to the chaotic and crazy nature of the world, recognizing that laughter and humor might be the only way to deal with everything.


The lyrics also seem to touch on the idea that we live in a society where everyone is a celebrity, brought together by shared anxieties. The line "if you can't beat them, join them. If you can't join them, beat them" seems to suggest that the only way to survive the chaotic and tumultuous world around us is to either join in with the chaos or fight back against it in some way. Ultimately, the song doesn't offer any concrete solutions to the chaos and struggles of life, but it reminds us that we're not alone in feeling overwhelmed and uncertain.
