Discover the story of the song > Madhouse – Matt Maltese

The song talks about the protagonist feeling disconnected from the world and society around him. He sees all the decorations and possessions in people's homes and feels like they don't understand him. Despite reading self-help and motivational material, he still feels empty and confused. The chorus repeats the idea of feeling misunderstood, while also finding joy in small things like colorful condiments. The bridge and final chorus express the idea that everyone feels like an outsider at times, and the protagonist is welcoming the listener to this "madhouse" of life.
