Mad World
Timmy Trumpet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Worn-out places, worn-out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take
Mad world (mad world, mad world)
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello, teacher, tell me, what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me
All around me are familiar faces
Worn-out places, worn-out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take
(When people run in circles, it's a very, very)
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello, teacher, tell me, what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me
Mad world
The lyrics of Timmy Trumpet's Mad World depict a world that has lost its way. It expresses a sense of hopelessness, disillusionment, and despair that many people feel. The "familiar faces" and "worn-out places" describe the repetitiveness and monotony in life, where everyone is "going nowhere." The line "bright and early for their daily races" describes a society that values speed and productivity over anything else. People are so focused on running in circles that they forget to stop and think about where they're headed.
The singer then goes on to express a feeling of detachment and dissociation from the world around him. He describes his dreams of dying as the best he's ever had, which could be interpreted as a desire for escape from the harsh reality he exists in. The line "I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take" implies that he feels alone in his despair and that others may not understand his pain.
The chorus repeats the line "mad world," emphasizing how the world has become a place of chaos, confusion, and madness. The second verse focuses on the experience of going to school, describing the feelings of isolation and invisibility that can come with being unfamiliar in a new environment. The bridge repeats the lines of the chorus and the second verse, further driving home the themes of detachment and hopelessness.
Overall, the lyrics of Mad World paint a bleak picture of the world we live in, a world that values speed and productivity over human connection and fulfillment. It highlights the alienation and despair that people can feel in such a world, emphasizing the importance of finding meaning and purpose in life.
Line by Line Meaning
All around me are familiar faces
Everywhere I go, I see and encounter familiar people
Worn-out places, worn-out faces
The places I've been to and the people I've seen are tired and weary
Bright and early for their daily races
People wake up early every day to do the same routine over and over again
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Despite the daily effort, people feel like they are not progressing or achieving anything significant
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
I have mixed feelings towards this situation - amused to observe people's meaningless routines, yet melancholic to think about their unfulfilled aspirations
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
My best dreams are about death - it's better to die in dreams than to endure life in the waking world
I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take
It's difficult for me to express my perspective on this because it is emotionally draining
When people run in circles, it's a very, very
When people are stuck in the same routines and patterns, it's a very frustrating and disheartening experience
Mad world (mad world, mad world)
This world is insane and nonsensical
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Children hope that one day they will experience happiness
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Children are told to be happy on their birthdays
Made to feel the way that every child should
Children are expected to conform to society's expectations and standards
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Children are taught to be obedient and passive - just sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
I was anxious and scared when I went to school
No one knew me, no one knew me
I felt invisible and unnoticed in school
Hello, teacher, tell me, what's my lesson?
I relied on my teacher to guide and educate me
Look right through me, look right through me
My teacher didn't see or acknowledge my struggles

Didn’t expect to see the homage to the Gary Jules’ version at the beginning of the video. Smart move of recreating the iconic scene.
