Crazy Train
Twista feat. Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
Let's go
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah
Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something' that just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
(Ha ha ha, bitch!)
The song Crazy Train is a high-energy rock anthem that takes the listener on a wild ride through the frustrations and anger of modern life. The song initially seems to be about the struggles of everyday life, with the line "crazy, but that's how it goes" suggesting that sometimes it feels like life itself is out of control. The idea that people are living as foes, rather than friends, adds to this feeling of chaos and despair. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the idea that it might not be too late to learn how to love and forget how to hate.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become increasingly focused on the idea of mental illness and societal pressures. The metaphor of going "off the rails on a crazy train" suggests that the singer feels like they have lost their grip on reality, and the line "mental wounds not healing" seems to hint at deeper emotional problems. There is a sense that the media is playing a role in perpetuating these problems, with the line "the media sells it and you live the role" suggesting that people are being conditioned to act and think in certain ways.
Overall, the song is a powerful statement about the pressures of modern life, and the toll that those pressures can take on the human psyche. However, it is also a call to action, urging people to take control of their own lives and seek solutions to mental health challenges.
