Madness
The Lagoons & Jelly Ellington Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm on a ride
I feel alive
Going through the canyon going 95
This is madness
I really don't mind
Really don't mind
Spending my nights doing overtime
And I see the hills and I'm going in
I'm going for the kill
I'm running away from the madness
Going to ride away on the crazy train
I got to find a way to get away
From the madness
[Chorus]
Baby it's madness
Madness, madness
Baby it's madness
Madness, madness
[Verse Two]
Heading down to the water now
I make it down without a sound and
I'm drowning
I'm underwater and I'm feeling high
Going to ride this wave until the day I die
This is madness
[Pre-Chorus]
I got love it's what you need
Always looking over me
I got fire in my soul
Never going to let it go
I got time on my side
Never going to say goodbye
Sex drugs I lost control
I learned it all from rock and roll
[Chorus]
Baby it's madness
Madness, madness
[Bridge]
I've been waiting a long time
To get where I need to be
Come on and show me a good time
Running on fumes got nothing to lose
I got to keep myself together
[Chorus]
Baby it's madness
Madness, madness
Baby it's madness
Madness, madness

The singer is saying that he's got everything he needs in life, including love, fire in his soul, and time on his side, and he's not going to let it go. The bridge of the song shows a confident singer who has been waiting for a long time to get where he needs to be, and now he's running on fumes with nothing to lose.

I'm currently in a journey
I feel alive
I feel full of life and energy
Going through the canyon going 95
I'm speeding through a canyon at a dangerously high speed
This is madness
This is chaotic and potentially dangerous
I really don't mind
I'm not bothered by this madness
Really don't mind
I'm not at all concerned with the craziness around me
Spending my nights doing overtime
I'm working long hours into the night
And I see the hills and I'm going in
I'm approaching hills and I'm ready to take them on
I'm going for the kill
I'm going all-in and giving it my all
I'm running away from the madness
I'm trying to escape from the craziness around me
Going to ride away on the crazy train
I'm going to ride along with the madness and mayhem
I got to find a way to get away
I need to find a way to escape this madness
From the madness
Away from the craziness
Baby it's madness
My situation is completely chaotic
Madness, madness
Complete and utter chaos
Heading down to the water now
I'm heading towards the water
I make it down without a sound and
I've arrived to my destination unnoticed
I'm drowning
I'm submerged in water and can't breathe
I'm underwater and I'm feeling high
I'm submerged in water and feeling a sense of euphoria
Going to ride this wave until the day I die
I'm going to enjoy this feeling for the rest of my life
I got love it's what you need
Love is important and necessary
Always looking over me
Someone is constantly watching over me
I got fire in my soul
I have a burning passion and energy within me
Never going to let it go
I will never let go of my passion
I got time on my side
I have time on my side to achieve my goals
Never going to say goodbye
I will never give up or quit
Sex drugs I lost control
I got caught up in the wild side of life and lost control
I learned it all from rock and roll
My love for a wild lifestyle was influenced by rock and roll
I've been waiting a long time
I've been waiting for a while
To get where I need to be
To arrive at my desired destination
Come on and show me a good time
I'm ready for a good time or a fun experience
Running on fumes got nothing to lose
I'm running on empty or without much left to give
I got to keep myself together
I need to maintain my composure and stay in control
