Mad World
Mylène Farmer [feat. Gary Jules] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I 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 kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I 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
Enlarge your world
Mad world
The song "Mad World" by Mylène Farmer [feat. Gary Jules] captures the essence of hopelessness, despair, and the bleak outlook that many people have on life. The opening lines, "All around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces," set the tone for the entire song. The song speaks of people racing to reach nowhere, filling up their glasses with tears, and not having any expression. The singer then expresses the desire to hide their head and drown their sorrows because there is no tomorrow.
The chorus of the song is particularly intriguing as the singer speaks about the irony of life. They find it both funny and sad that in their dreams where they are dying, they feel the best they have ever felt. The singer expresses how difficult it is for them to talk about such deep feelings and how hard it is to cope with the fact that people run in circles creating this mad world.

Безумный мир (перевод Аноним) Я смотрю: вокруг — знакомые лица,
Worn out places, worn out faces
Всё тот же город, всё те же лица.
Bright and early for the daily races
Их погони с первым голосом птицы
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Тянут в пропасть, гонят в пропасть.
Their tears are filling up their glasses
Стёкла глаз закрыли слёзы от солнца
No expression, no expression
Взгляды пустые. Нет эмоций.
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
Уходя в себя, топлю своё горе.
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
«Завтра не будет», — голос повторит.
And I find it kind of funny
Это несколько забавно,
I find it kind of sad
Печально в тот же миг.
The dreams in which I’m dying
В лучших грёзах я с отрадой
Are the best I’ve ever had
Покидаю этот мир.
I find it hard to tell you
Сказать об этом сложно,
I find it hard to take
Не легче и принять.
When people run in circles
Если люди мчат по кругу,
It's a very very
Это очень, очень…
Mad world, mad world
Безумный мир.
Children waiting for the day
Дети верят в день, когда им всё же
They feel good happy birthday, happy birthday
Станет лучше. В День Рожденья.
And I feel the way that every child should
И, мне кажется, ребёнок должен
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Просто слушать. Сидеть и слушать.
Went to school and I was very nervous
В школу я ходил, волнуясь сильно:
No one knew me, no one knew me
Нет знакомых. Незнакомый.
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Я задал вопрос, но мой учитель
Look right through me, look right through me
Смотрит мимо и не видит.
And I find it kind of funny
Это несколько забавно,
I find it kind of sad
Печально в тот же миг.
The dreams in which I’m dying
В лучших грёзах я с отрадой
Are the best I’ve ever had
Покидаю этот мир.
I find it hard to tell you
Сказать об этом сложно,
I find it hard to take
Не легче и принять.
When people run in circles
Если люди мчат по кругу,
It's a very very
Это очень, очень…
Mad world, mad world
Безумный мир.

Gary Jules a interprété « Mad World », titre original du groupe Tears for Fears pour la B.O du film Donnie Darko.
C’est en découvrant ce film et la version de l’artiste que Mylène Farmer a décidé de le rencontrer et de lui proposer de faire ce duo sur la scène de son show Timeless 2013.
Гари Джулс записал песню Mad World (была оригинально исполнена группой Tears for Fears) для саундтрека к фильму “Донни Дарко”.
После просмотра фильма и ознакомления с новой версией этой песни Милен Фармер решила встретиться с артистом и предложить ему выступить с ней дуэтом в рамках тура Timeless 2013.
