These four young men, dressed in tight sharp suits were the first of their generation to give new life to mod culture in the low lands.
Their first EP was released on vinyl by the Dutch Stardumb label (may 2006). Fast cars, pretty girls, bad women, broken romances and boredom were the classic but timeless inspiration-sources for The Madd.
After four years, two albums and one hit with Dio they broke up in 2010.
The Kik, fronted once again by Dave von Raven, is seen by many as a Dutch-language continuation of The Madd.
I Loved You
The Madd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They say strange fascination, infatuation
A lunatic
Call me what suits your taste, I just wanna taste
And I've always heard it's what's inside that counts
'Cause my insides are red
And yours are too
Is matching you
And goodness you're bleeding
What a wonderful feeling
You're down and you're pleading
My head is just reeling
The red means I love you
Tasting your blood means I love you
The red means I love you
The red means I love you
Unfortunate
They say such a shame, I turned out this way
A maniac
Well, yeah, I get manic when I cause a panic
And of course, I'm excited when I see you around
'Cause my insides are red
And yours are too
And the red on my face
Is matching you
And goodness you're bleeding
What a wonderful feeling
You're down and you're pleading
My head is just reeling
The red means I love you
Tasting your blood means I love you
The red means I love you
The red means I love you
You leave me high and dry
A rush comes to my mind at the drops
Of blood you leave behind
Run as you might, my love will never, ever
Stop
And I've always heard it's what's inside
'Cause my insides are red
And yours are too
And the red on my face
Is matching you
And goodness you're bleeding
What a wonderful feeling
You're down and you're pleading
My head is just reeling

Tasting your blood means I love you
The red means I love you
The red means I love you
The red means I love you
Tasting your blood means I love you
The red means I love you

The lyrics to The Madd's song "I Loved You" depict a dark and intense fascination with someone. The singer acknowledges that their infatuation is seen as unusual and strange by others, but they embrace it nevertheless. The repeated reference to the color red symbolizes the intensity of their love. They believe that what truly matters is what lies within a person, and they find a connection with the other person because both of their insides are "red."
The lyrics also suggest a twisted desire to not only experience love but also to possess and control the object of their affection. The mention of tasting the other person's blood signifies a sense of ownership and the idea that the singer's love is so consuming that it becomes physical. The language used, such as "maniac" and "panic," suggests a certain level of instability and a tendency to thrive on the chaos their love creates.
The final verse implies that even if the object of their affection tries to escape or resist, the singer's love will never cease. The line "You leave me high and dry, a rush comes to my mind at the drops of blood you leave behind" reflects their addiction to the power dynamics in the relationship. The overall tone of the song is dark and intense, highlighting a distorted and obsessive love.
