Wavorly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We dance in consequences
Entranced with worldly glimpses
Careless with our decisions
You’d think we never meant them
We say that we’re the future
The time we have is crucial
Will we put this off another day?
No excuses, the time for change is here and now
This is the real adventure
To move past what’s mediocre
Obsessed with entertainment
Step up or miss the point of it
The song “Madmen” by Wavorly is an anthem for those who want to move past mediocrity and be the change they want to see in themselves and the world. The first line, “Say goodbye to what you thought was you,” is a call to action to shed one’s old identity and embrace a new one that is not defined by society's stereotypes and expectations.
The lyrics go on to describe the allure of the world and how it can be easy to get lost in it, as we are entranced by its glimpses. However, our actions are often careless, and we do not take our decisions seriously. We proclaim that we are the future, but only if we can have it our way, and we are constantly putting things off to another day.
The chorus of “Madmen” is a reminder that there are no excuses and that the time for change is now. The real adventure lies in moving past what is mediocre and being obsessed with self-improvement instead of just entertainment. The song concludes with a call to action to step up or miss the point of life entirely.
