Madness Lyrics

I, I can't get these memories out of my mind
And some kind of madness
Is starting to evolve, mmmm
And 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...

   It is about his relationship with the creator-remember the U2 influence and multiple meanings at once.

   Madness is about doing the same things and expecting different results. A troubled couple keeps holding on once they've "realized" they love each other... but their actions never change and they end up in a eroding pattern that consumes their lives.
   
   I wish TJB could know I've realized what I did wrong and could see I have changed my ways....

   I believe the song is about two individuals in a relationship and one of the parties is so caught up in their mind that they don't relize the other person is in love with them and wants them to simply love them back.
   They fight about things that are not real, but machinations in the mind triggered by simple events because one of the partners has a past of infidelity and the other is so used to being hurt they fight the true love they are being given.
   "Finally I have seen the light...I realize what you need" are indicative of awareness. In closing, "I need love" is the actualization of the awareness. And the letting go of the madness in their mind. If kristine D. could only understand.

   this is obviously about an iffy relationship. Kind of like maroon 5's One More Night, stating how sexual things can keep someone from getting away from a bad relationship.
   (BTW MUSE...YOU ROCK!! HEART THE 2ND LAW!!
   :3)

   The music video of 'Madness' by Muse is epic. Strong videos attach a strong meaning to the song that help in understanding the auter's vision for us, the listeners. The light coordinates and adds to the delineating while at the same time, tunes one in to the mood of the video.
   
   Madness is an aspect of every relationship, which observers hardly witness and cannot imagine the person in question to ever act a certain way. It is a very private business, the skeleton in everyone's closet… no one should know the way they acted, the last they were mad.
   
   The sexual tension is portrayed beautifully through body language. The expression of anger comes across really well. What the fight was, why it happened is not known and doesn't matter.
   
   The man and woman are in a period of transition but at the same time end up back where they started. The circle continues. The issue, as with many fights, is not discussed. And things continue as before.
   
   The SWAT team looking for something or rioting is an outward depiction of the characters' mental states. Just as there is no reconciliation of the protagonists after the fight, there is also no confrontation that the SWAT team has, the train just moves on.
   
   There just seems a nostalgia, maybe even a wish for something, anything to happen. But it doesn't. There is no breakage in the inertia of the relationship and the circle continues.
