Crazy Train
Sebastian Bach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe its not to late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Lifes a bitter shame
Ive listened to preachers
Ive listened to fools
Ive watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you have the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
Im going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeh-h
Heirs of a cold war
Thats what weve become
Inheriting troubles Im mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
Im living with something that just isnt fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and whats to blame
Im going off the rails on a crazy train
The lyrics to the song Crazy Train by Sebastian Bach deal with the theme of mental health and how it affects the world around us. The opening lines, "Crazy, but that's how it goes, millions of people living as foes" speaks to the idea that many people are living in discordance with one another. However, the following line suggests that it may not be too late to learn how to love and forget how to hate. This message is about healing and understanding, something that is critically important in today's world where divisions seem to be deepening.
The second verse speaks more explicitly about the mental distress that the singer is experiencing. "Mental wounds not healing, life's a bitter shame, I'm going off the rails on a crazy train" suggests the singer is trying to cope with deep emotional traumas that they cannot shake. The next few lines speak to the idea that many people have had their opinions and behaviors conditioned by others. The media, educators, and other influencers shape our understanding of reality, and this can lead to confusion and strife.
