This composition encapsulates a poignant commentary on the human condition and societal norms. The lyrics depict a world filled with monotonous routines, unfulfilled dreams, and an undercurrent of deep-seated sorrow. The song's protagonist finds it ironic that his most fulfilling experiences occur in dreams where he is dying, suggesting a profound disillusionment with life. This melancholic worldview is further emphasized by the image of people running in circles - a metaphor for aimless pursuits and existential angst. The refrain "mad world" underscores the absurdity and chaos inherent in human existence. Ultimately, this piece serves as a critique of society's indifference towards individual suffering and the alienation it engenders. #ExistentialAngst #SocialCritique
Mad World
Lyrics
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
The tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrows
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
That dreams in which I'm dying, are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very mad world, mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
And they 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
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
That dreams in which I'm dying, are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world
Mad world
Mad world
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
That dreams in which I'm dying, are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very mad world, mad world
Enlargen your world, mad world
