Madness
Random Ninjas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't be outscored
Whatcha, whatcha, whatcha, whatcha
Wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Get a, Get a, Get a, Get a
I know it is very late
Very late
Whatcha, whatcha, whatcha, whatcha
Wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Get a, Get a, Get a, Get a
I didn't know
TI was a word
Now I'm thinking
I'd better look away
The time is quickly ticking
And it's a work day
I know I should try and stop
Can't beat the clock
Whatcha, whatcha, whatcha, whatcha
Wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Get a, Get a, Get a, Get a
I wish I could quit my job
Quit my job
And be a Scrabble snob
Whatcha, whatcha, whatcha, whatcha
Wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
Get a, Get a, Get a, Get a
I didn't know
UT was a word
Just one more word
And then I'll start my day
It's just so hard to sit here
When I want to play
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
Whatcha wanna gotta gotcha
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
Just one more word
and then I'll start my day
It's just so hard to sit here
When I want to play
The song "Madness" by Random Ninjas captures the experience of being caught up in a game of Scrabble and the difficulty of tearing away from it. The singer admits to being consumed by the game, resigned to staying up late, and foregoing work in order to play just a little longer. The lyrics are full of tension and procrastination, capturing the sense that the player is desperately trying to hold onto the game while knowing that they must eventually let it go.
The repeated phrases of "Whatcha wanna gotta getcha" and "Just one more word," and their increasing urgency, reflect the internal struggle that the player is feeling. The singer wishes they could quit their job and become a "Scrabble snob," suggesting that the game has taken on a level of importance that exceeds every other aspect of their life. The repetition and rhythm of the song, along with the catchy melody, accentuate the sense of compulsive behavior that the player is experiencing.
Overall, "Madness" is an engaging song that captures a relatable experience of getting lost in a game, and it does so with energetic music and creative lyrics.
Line by Line Meaning
Now who needs work anymore
I don't think working is necessary anymore
I can't be outscored
I won't allow anyone to score higher than me
Whatcha, whatcha, whatcha, whatcha
What is it that you want?
Wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna
Do you want something?
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
I really must
Get a, Get a, Get a, Get a
I have to obtain it
I know it is very late
Despite the time, I have to do this
Very late
It's very late for me to be doing this
But I've got a date
I have something important to do
I didn't know TI was a word
I wasn't aware that TI was allowed in Scrabble
Now I'm thinking
I'm considering something
I'd better look away
I should probably stop playing Scrabble
The time is quickly ticking
Time is running out
And it's a work day
I have work to do today
I know I should try and stop
I should really stop playing Scrabble
Can't beat the clock
I don't have enough time to win at Scrabble
I wish I could quit my job
I dream of not having to work
Quit my job
I want to leave my current employment
And be a Scrabble snob
I want to become an expert in Scrabble
Just one more word
I have to play one more word
And then I'll start my day
Only after playing one more word can I start my day
It's just so hard to sit here
It's difficult to not play anymore Scrabble
When I want to play
I really just want to play some more
Whatcha wanna gotta getcha
What do you want to get?
Whatcha wanna gotta gotcha
What do you want to do?
Just one more word
I need to use one more word
and then I'll start my day
Only then will I actually start my day
