"Madness" as written by and Matthew James Bellamy....
I, I can't get these memories out of my mind
And some kind of madness has started to evolve
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 realized
What you mean
Oh oh oh
And now, I need to know is this real love
Or is it just madness keeping us afloat?
And when I look back at all the crazy fights we had
Like some kind of madness
Was taking control
Yeah
And now I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realized
What you need
Mm
And now I have finally seen the end (Finally seen the end)
And I'm not expecting you to care (Expecting you to care)
But I have finally seen the light (Finally seen the light)
I have finally realized (Realized)
I need to love
I need to love
Come to me,
Trust in your dream
Come on and rescue me
Yes I have known, I can be wrong
Maybe I'm too headstrong
Our love is
Madness
And some kind of madness has started to evolve
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 realized
What you mean
Oh oh oh
And now, I need to know is this real love
Or is it just madness keeping us afloat?
And when I look back at all the crazy fights we had
Like some kind of madness
Was taking control
Yeah
And now I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realized
What you need
Mm
And now I have finally seen the end (Finally seen the end)
And I'm not expecting you to care (Expecting you to care)
But I have finally seen the light (Finally seen the light)
I have finally realized (Realized)
I need to love
I need to love
Come to me,
Trust in your dream
Come on and rescue me
Yes I have known, I can be wrong
Maybe I'm too headstrong
Our love is
Madness

A relationship is not perfect; it will have its problems, arguments, hardships, and flaws. It's about realizing that these imperfections don't matter because love is worth it. There are two basic motivating forces in life; fear and love. Love saves us from fear and suffering. It's about realizing that all love is madness, but we must pursue it nonetheless because we need to love, we need to experience the beauty of having something so great to live and care for.
As the Merovingian says in Matrix Reloaded: "It is remarkable how similar the pattern of love is to the pattern of insanity."
So, I guess to me the song is talking about him finally realizing that she is what he needs and that he needs to show that he loves her. I love this song, the lyrics are very personal and have a lot of emotion in them.
I also remember (maybe in another interview) he said that this was his best song he's ever written because it's the most personal song he's ever done and he usually doesn't make songs so personal to him.
Matt: "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?" 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?"
Many of the songs on Black Holes and Revelations are about his relationship with Gaia, and MotP is one of the most well known examples... if he was truly over his break up with Gaia and would he really still mod the lyrics like that? *shrugs* I think whether he's conscious of it or not, he's still processing his break up with Gaia... but hey, who knows... it's just my little theory!

The song is about being able to put arguments and our own personal ego aside for love. He can't be wrong and she is too headstrong basically say the same thing. We are stubborn as people but putting aside our egos help us love and realize the love we need
This song isn't necessarily only about realising your faults and hoping that your love returns to you. When I listen to this I think there is a possibility that it means that he's come to terms with the relationship ending ( "now, I have finally seen the end" ), accepted that their love is "madness" or not healthy, and is hopeful for the future - asking for new love to come to him. "Trust in the dream", the dream being a more fulfilling love.
