Discover the story of the song > Mad World – scott bradlee’s postmodern jukebox

The song talks about how everyone around the protagonist is unhappy and stuck in routine, feeling lost and alone, like the world is crazy. The protagonist finds it both funny and sad that their dreams are about dying, but they can't express their feelings to anyone because they feel like nobody understands. The lyrics paint a picture of a bleak, mad world where even children struggle to find happiness.
