Lyrics of
Madness

Madness by Muse discusses a difficult period in the relationship between Matthew Bellamy and his then-girlfriend. It addresses themes of conflict, acknowledgment of ones faults, and the moment of clarity that comes with understanding the true meaning of love.

I, I can't get these memories out of my mind
And some kind of madness has started to evolve
I, I tried so hard to let you go
But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah

I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised what you mean

And now I need to know is this real love
Or is it just madness keeping us afloat?
And when I look back at all the crazy fights we've had
It's like some kind of madness was taking control, yeah

And now I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised what you need


And now I have finally seen the end
And I'm not expecting you to care, no
And I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised
I need to love
I need to love

Come to me, just in a dream
Come on and rescue me
Yes I know I can be wrong
Maybe I'm too headstrong
Our love is
MA-MA-MA-MA-MA
MADNESS
