Description

An calm, minimal electronic cross between 'I Want To Break Free' and 'Faith' with arrangements similar to Depeche Mode.[1] "You've had a fight with your girlfriend and she goes off to her mum's house for the day and you're on your own going: 'What did I say?'" says Matt, describing the song's inspiration. "I'm sure a lot of blokes have that experience in the early stages of relationships where you go, 'Yeah, she's right, isn't she?'"[2]


Some vocal harmonies over the word "madness" bare resemblence to the barbershop quartet effect heard in Assassin.

During the post-Madness debut interview on Radio One with Zane Lowe, Chris revealed he will be playing a Misa Kitara when performing this track live.

Information

By error of Bellamy, Howard, Wolstenholme or Kirk, the name of the song was leaked by a photo on Twitter, until it was deleted.

Lyrics

M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mad-mad-mad x4 I can't get these memories out of my mind And some kind of madness has started to evolve (M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mad-mad-mad x2) I tried so hard to let you go But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah (M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mad-mad-mad x2)

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? (M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mad-mad-mad x2) And when I look back at all the crazy fights we had It's like some kind of mad-mad-mad-mad-madness was taking control, yeah (M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mad-mad-mad x2)

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

Guitar solo (see tablature)[1] (M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mad-mad-mad x2)

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

Come to me Trust in a dream Come on and rescue me Yes I know I can be wrong Maybe I'm too headstrong Our love is M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mad-mad-mad x3 M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mad-mad-madness
