Mad World
Pol Granch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All around me are familiar faces
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
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

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
I found it hard to tell you
I found it hard to take
And 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
Made to 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
I found it hard to tell you
I found it hard to take
And when people run in circles, it's a very




Very mad world
Mad world

Overall Meaning

These lyrics describe a sense of melancholy and disillusionment with the world. The singer observes familiar faces and worn out places, suggesting a monotonous existence where people are caught in a cycle of daily routines that lead them nowhere. The repetition of "going nowhere" emphasizes the feeling of being stuck and lacking direction.


The line about tears filling up their glasses highlights the emotional numbness and lack of expression in this society. The singer wants to hide their head and drown their sorrows, feeling as though there is no hope for a better future ("no tomorrow"). This hints at a sense of despair and a desire to escape from the overwhelming sadness.


The chorus reflects on the paradoxical nature of dreams. The singer finds it both funny and sad that their dreams are often about dying. This could suggest that their dreams reveal a deeper truth or a release from the pain and emptiness of reality. The mention of finding it hard to tell someone or take something implies a struggle with communication and emotional vulnerability.


The second verse shifts the focus to children, who are waiting for the day when they will feel good. The line "happy birthday, happy birthday" symbolizes the expectation of happiness that comes with growing older. However, the following line indicates that they are made to conform to societal expectations, as their emotions and individuality are disregarded ("sit and listen"). The singer remembers feeling nervous and invisible at school, with nobody getting to know them or acknowledge their presence. The line "look right through me" conveys a sense of being overlooked and not feeling seen or understood.


The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the recurring theme of feeling trapped in a mad world where people run in circles. This phrase suggests a sense of chaos, confusion, and a lack of purpose in society. The song as a whole reflects on the disillusionment and emotional disconnect experienced both by adults and children in a world that seems to have lost its way.
