Madness
Souled Out Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What on earth could someone do
To not shoot quick but not be overdue
Who can tell me the way to see through
This world of madness
And you know my mind's a mess
And so is yours or so I guess
Life is good but at times it feels like a test
Well I don't know if I can pass this

What I hear, what I see and what I feel
Couldn't tell if it's fake or if it's real
If you're out there and you know what these all mean
Help I feel like spinning though I'm standing still

I don't know if I'm alone in this
Does anybody else have thoughts like these
Is this special or is it part of being young
Or getting older
And you'd think someway somehow
I'd figure out the rules by now
The world is full of ways to turn around
Turn upside down and still surprise me

What I hear, what I see and what I feel
Couldn't tell if it's fake or if it's real
If you're out there and you know what these all mean
Help I feel like spinning though I'm standing still

What I hear, what I see and what I feel
Couldn't tell if it's fake or if it's real




If you're out there and you know what these all mean
Save me from this world of madness
