Crazy
Simple Plan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When everywhere I look I see
Young girls dying to be on tv
They won't stop til they've reached their dreams
Diet pills, surgery
Photoshopped pictures in magazines
Telling them how they should be
It doesn't make sense to me
Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes you'll see
That something is wrong
I guess things are not how they used to be
There's no more normal families
Parents act like enemies
Making kids feel like it's world war 3
No one cares
No one's there
I guess we're all just too damn busy
And money's our first priority
It doesn't make sense to me
Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes you'll see
That something is wrong
Is everybody going crazy?
Is everybody going crazy?
Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Rich guys driving big SUVs
When kids are starving in the street
No one cares
No one likes to share
I guess life's unfair
Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes you'll see
That something something is wrong
Is everybody going crazy?
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes you'll see
That something is wrong
The lyrics to Simple Plan's song "Crazy" highlight the issues and inconsistencies that exist in modern society. The song speaks about how the obsession with fame and image has led young girls to resort to drastic measures like diet pills and surgeries to fit unrealistic beauty standards set by the media. The song also sheds light on how parents' lack of time and importance given to money leads to a dysfunctional family where children feel like they are in a constant warzone. The song’s lyrics reflect the singer’s frustration with these issues and a call to society to change.
The chorus of the song, "Is everybody going crazy? Is anybody gonna save me?" repeats a question that many people are asking themselves these days - why do we live in a world where all these things are happening when we have the capability to do better? The singer goes on to say that we should open our eyes to see that there is something wrong with the world, and we need someone to take the lead to save society from its own destruction.

Capitalism and it's influences on the self, the community, and the world at large.
On a personal level these ever increasing standards and desire to sell more product created a fake norm to make you feel like you need to fit it. Leading to personal issues like mental health, body images, eating disorders, or low self esteem in general.
On the community level by forcing a particular model for a family unit with an absurdly unrealistic expectation to healthily obtain. Designed to keep the population sectioned off into breeding units rather than voluntary associations that are focused on raising children rather than who happens to he having sex with who. These coerced family units create people trying to force it to work when it is so clearly toxic, partly because of financial dependence.
Finally on a larger level the corporate class mostly have ASPD and achieve their status either by feudalism (being born into a class higher than others, allowing for entirely different opportunities), or by manipulating and exploiting others. Many getting rich off destroying our planet. They care about the status. The race to the top to be the king or ancestor to whoever wins at real life monopoly.
There's plenty of food resources and green tech. But the capitalistic goal of getting to the top no matter what keeps people from truly caring about mass poverty, at least not enough to take issue with the system itself.
