Description
A 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
I, I can't get these memories out of my mind And some kind of madness has started 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 realised what you mean
And now I need to know is this real love Or is it just madness keeping us afloat, mmmm When I look back at all the crazy fights we had Like some kind of madness was taking control, yeah
Now I have finally seen the light And I have finally realised what you need
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) That 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 Just in a dream Come on and rescue me Yes I know I can be wrong Maybe I'm too headstrong Our love is... Madness
Live
In the penultimate verse for the first live play Matt and Chris instead sang:
And now I have finally reached the end
(Finally reached the end)
