Mad Visions
Royal Blood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna change
I don't know how
I make the same mistakes
Bring myself out 'cause I can't be tamed
Out in the wild, broken off the chain
Traipsin' through the crowd

I couldn't swing in like a wrecking ball
Breaking through the wall
Feeling ten foot tall
(Bad) decisions trip me 'til I'm on the floor
Yet we need some more
Don't want it to stop
'Til I got

Mad visions, mad visions
It feels so good to be letting go
Give me mad visions, mad visions
It's so much better now I'm not alone

Give me mad visions, mad visions
Give me mad visions, mad visions

I can't walk away
Turn it around, falling into flames
I'm burning up as I sit and wait
With all my doubts that I can't erase
Racin' 'round and 'round

I couldn't swing in like a wrecking ball
Breaking through the wall
Feeling ten foot tall
'Til I got

Mad visions, mad visions
It feels so good to be letting go
Give me mad visions, mad visions
It's so much better now I'm not alone

Give me mad visions, mad visions
Give me mad visions, mad visions
Mad visions, mad
You give me mad visions, mad
Give me mad visions, mad
You give me mad visions, mad

It feels so good to be letting go
Give me mad visions, mad visions




It's so much better now I'm not alone
Give me mad visions, mad visions

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Royal Blood's song "Mad Visions" convey a sense of rebellion, a desire to break free from the constraints of society and embrace a wild and uninhibited lifestyle. The opening lines, "I don't wanna change, I don't know how, I make the same mistakes, bring myself out cause I can't be tamed," suggest a refusal to conform and an acknowledgement of one's tendency to repeat past errors.


The singer describes themselves as being "broken off the chain" and "traipsin' through the crowd," implying a sense of freedom and disregard for social norms. They compare their entrance to that of a wrecking ball, breaking through walls and feeling empowered and confident. However, the mention of "bad decisions" that trip them up and leave them on the floor suggests a recognition of the consequences of their choices.


Despite these setbacks, the singer expresses a desire for more. They crave the ecstatic feeling of "mad visions," a euphoric state of mind that comes from letting go and embracing their true selves. It's a freeing sensation that they find addictive, not wanting it to stop until they have fully immersed themselves in these mad visions.


The repetition of the phrase "give me mad visions" throughout the song emphasizes their longing for this liberating experience. The lyrics suggest that these mad visions bring a sense of fulfillment and allow the singer to break free from isolation, as they sing, "It's so much better now I'm not alone." This could indicate that embracing their true selves and living without inhibitions brings a sense of connection and belonging.


Overall, "Mad Visions" can be seen as an anthem for those who yearn to break away from societal pressures and indulge in a wild and uninhibited lifestyle. It explores the thrill of rebellion, the exhilaration of letting go, and the desire to find a sense of purpose and connection through embracing one's true self.

I don't wanna change
I don't know how
Make the same mistakes
Freak myself out
'Cause I can't be tamed
Out in the wild
Broken off the chain
Traipsing through crowd

I come in swinging like a wrecking ball
Breaking though the wall
Feeling ten foot tall
Bad decisions trip me till I'm on the floor
Yeah, feed me some more
Don't want it to stop
Till I got

Mad visions
Mad visions
It feels so good to be letting go
Give me
Mad visions
Mad visions
It's so much better now I'm not alone

Give me mad visions
Mad visions
Give me mad visions
Mad visions

I can't walk away
Turn it around
Falling into flames
I'm burning up
As I sit and wait
With all my doubts
That I can't erase
Racing 'round and 'round

I come in swinging like a wrecking ball
Breaking though the wall
Feeling ten foot tall
Till I got

Mad visions
Mad visions
It feels so good to be letting go
Give me
Mad visions
Mad visions
It's so much better now I'm not alone
Ooh

Give me mad visions
Mad visions
Give me mad visions
Mad visions

Mad visions
Give me mad visions
Give me
Give me mad visions
Give me
Give me mad visions
Give me

Feels so good to be letting go
Give me
Mad visions
Mad visions
It's so much better now I'm not alone
Give me
Mad visions
Mad visions
