Mania
The Last Year Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could run a million miles, just to hear you make a sound
and I never wanna come down
I'm not gonna sleep tonight
I've never felt so alive
I'm in Mania
I'm in Mania
and I'm never gonna sleep again
I'm in Mania
Will you catch me when I fall?
I'm afraid of heights and anything is possible tonight
but I'll be just fine
No reason to be afraid
and no I'm not insane
I'm in Mania
I'm in Mania
out of my mind, out of my head
and I'm never gonna sleep again
I'm in Mania
I'm where I've never been before
so deep, deep inside my world
and I'm losing all control
and I'm never coming home
I'm in Mania
I'm in Mania
out of my mind, out of my head
and I'm never gonna sleep again
I'm in Mania
The Last Year's song "Mania" portrays an intense feeling of excitement, thrill and passion. The opening lyrics indicate the overwhelming sensation the singer is experiencing. The use of hyperbole in "I could run a million miles" further emphasizes how immense this feeling is, indicating that the singer is capable of doing anything just to feel this alive again. The singer even states that they will not sleep tonight because the adrenaline and heightened emotions won't allow it. The repetition of "I'm in Mania" manifests the singer's current state of mind, a state of intense passion, and hyper stimulation.
The second verse provides further insight into the singer's mental state. Although they are experiencing a level of excitement that is unfathomable, they still feel vulnerable and are asking for help. They are afraid to fall, and there is a sense of recklessness attached to the actions that they might take tonight. However, there is a sign of optimism when the singer asserts they will be just fine. The pre-chorus highlights the irrationality of the singer's thought-process, but amidst all of this, there is a sense of confidence that everything will be okay. The bridge expresses the singer's willingness to get lost in the Mania and never return to reality. The chorus repeats to emphasize the singer's current state of mind.
