This stanza tells about how the main character is finally introduced to society and left out from the safeties of home. Look right through me, look right through me they are prepared to be conformed into a perfect society and should obey authority figures without hesitation and doubt. Children are not allowed to be happy and they are longing for something which doesn't exist while being told at the same time of what they are waiting for will come true but only if they are patient enough.

This stanza tells about the childhood of the main character, hence the grown-up point of view in the beginning. The main character finds it frustrating of how everyone are aware of this but still nothing changes as if this knowledge never existed.Ĭhildren waiting for the day they feel goodĪnd I feel the way that every child should In the second line we get to know that the main character strongly wants for an escape and where death seems to be the only option left. It is supposed to be a perfect society where optimal happiness is supposed to be expressed but no such happiness truly exists.

In the chorus we get to know how ironical the main character feels this sort of society is in which he or she lives in. When people run in circles it's a very, very I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had The tomorrow people want doesn't exist.Īnd I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad Because of that they must hide their feelings so they fit into society, making it a very bleak world without happiness or anything to long for, therefore there is no tomorrow. In this stanza we get to know that the main character is telling us how everyone really longs for a change but are living in an equilibrium-sort of state and therefore can't. Same people, same places, everyone doing their best to assess society but still not feeling satisfied with their current living situation. We get to know the main character's daily life where nothing happens or ever changes. This stanza symbolizes the point of view in a grown-up perspective.

This is an analysis of the lyrics to the song Mad World originally peformed by Tears For Fears, later covered by Gary Jules which is not only a great cover but brings out the message in a way Tears For Fears didn't.
