Madhouse
Ruben Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You think you're crazy? Well I can guarantee
Ain't no monster crazy like me.
And I don't talk to myself
I scream
In this madhouse it's all too real

Big bang, boom inside my head
Gunshot fire can not compare
Big bang, boom inside my head
You think I'm mad?
Well ain't that clear?

Hanging out in hell with The Devil
We kickin' it up in this madhouse
Hanging out in hell with The Devil
We kickin' it up in this madhouse

There are voices in here
And they're really mean
Call me crazy, but they're with me
And I don't need your healing, or medicine
I am fine with letting it be

Hanging out in hell with The Devil
We kickin' it up in this madhouse
Hanging out in hell with The Devil
We kickin' it up in this madhouse

Whoa
Whoa

Hanging out in hell with The Devil
We kickin' it up in this madhouse
Hanging out in hell with The Devil
We kickin' it up in this madhouse





End

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ruben's "Madhouse" depicts someone who is struggling with their mental health and the conflicting thoughts and emotions that come with it. The opening lines serve as a bold statement of the singer's self-awareness, where they dismiss the idea that anyone, even the most monstrous of beings or external forces, could comprehend the extent of their madness. The singer then goes on to describe the intense and chaotic experiences they are going through, such as hearing voices, having mean thoughts, and experiencing explosive sounds inside their head. The repeated refrain of "hanging out in hell with The Devil" represents the singer's feeling of being trapped in their own mind and living in a never-ending cycle of chaos and pain.


The song's tone is intense and passionate, reflecting the raw emotions of the singer, who is clearly fed up with the stigma and lack of understanding surrounding mental health issues. The lyrics challenge the listener to confront their biases and judgments and recognize the validity of the singer's experiences. By the end of the song, the singer has accepted their situation and has rejected the idea of seeking outside help, choosing instead to find solace in their own madness.


Line by Line Meaning

You think you're crazy? Well I can guarantee
I am more insane than you could ever be


Ain't no monster crazy like me.
No one is crazier than me


And I don't talk to myself
I don't speak to myself


I scream
I shout


In this madhouse it's all too real
This place is too insane to be considered normal


Big bang, boom inside my head
There are loud, explosive sounds in my mind


Gunshot fire can not compare
The noise in my head is louder and more intense than gunfire


You think I'm mad?
You believe that I am crazy?


Well ain't that clear?
It should be obvious to everyone that I am insane


Hanging out in hell with The Devil
I am spending time with Satan in the depths of hell


We kickin' it up in this madhouse
We are enjoying ourselves in this crazy place


There are voices in here
I hear disembodied voices in this place


And they're really mean
The voices I hear are unpleasant and cruel


Call me crazy, but they're with me
I may be insane, but the voices are present with me


And I don't need your healing, or medicine
I don't want or need any remedy to cure my insanity


I am fine with letting it be
I have accepted my madness and am content with the way I am


Whoa
Exclamation of shock or surprise


Hanging out in hell with The Devil
I am spending time with Satan in the depths of hell


We kickin' it up in this madhouse
We are enjoying ourselves in this crazy place
