Madness
Muse (The 2nd Law) Lyrics

I, I can't get these memories out of my mind
The memories of my past relationship are deeply ingrained in my mind and I cannot seem to forget them.

And some kind of madness has started to evolve
This continuous dwelling on the past has led me to become erratic and irrational in my thoughts and actions.

I, I tried so hard to let you go
Although I've been trying to move on, the strong residual emotions of my past relationship have been holding me back.

But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah
Despite my attempts to move on, I feel as though I'm being consumed entirely by my emotions.

I have finally seen the light
I have gained a new perspective on this situation.

And I have finally realized
I have come to a newfound understanding.

What you mean
I now understand the true depth and meaning of our past relationship.

And now, I need to know is this real love
I question whether the intense emotions I feel towards you are genuine love or simply residual madness from our past relationship.

Or is it just madness keeping us afloat?
I wonder whether our relationship is being sustained by residual madness from our past, rather than true love.

And when I look back at all the crazy fights we had
As I reflect on our tumultuous past, I realize that it was driven by a kind of irrational and uncontrollable madness.

Like some kind of madness
Our past relationship was characterized by a kind of chaos and irrationality akin to madness.

Was taking control
This madness seemed to have a life of its own and dictated our every move, leading us down a path of destruction and hurt.

And now I have finally seen the end (Finally seen the end)
I have come to the end of our tumultuous relationship and finally see things clearly.

And I'm not expecting you to care (Expecting you to care)
I don't expect any reaction or emotion from you, but have come to my own understanding of what needs to happen.

But I have finally seen the light (Finally seen the light)
I've gained a new perspective and understanding that will guide my decisions moving forward.

I have finally realized (Realized)
I've reached a newfound understanding and clarity.

I need to love
I am ready to move on from the madness and give myself completely to true, genuine love.

Come to me,
I am open and ready to receive the love and affection of a new partner.

Trust in your dream
I am encouraging my next partner to trust their dreams and emotions, as I have learned the importance of truly loving someone.

Come on and rescue me
I am open and eager for someone to come and rescue me from the madness of my past relationships, and to help me move forward towards true love.

Yes I have known, I can be wrong
I acknowledge that I am capable of making mistakes and have learned from my past errors in judgement.

Maybe I'm too headstrong
I realize that in the past, my stubbornness and determination may have contributed to mistakes and problems in my relationships.

Our love is Madness
Our emotions and actions in love can often be irrational, chaotic and overwhelming, causing us to feel and act like we are consumed by madness.
