The Reeling Lyrics

I believe that this song is about feeling so overwhelmed by the realization of what life really is, and wanting someone to come 'kidnap' them, praying that there is more to life then what he has come to realize.

Totally agree with you ! When I heard ''and i can feel the madness inch by inch the more i run the more i am convinced'' it just hit me, it burned me. I feel exactly the same.

''Why life's getting so deceiving when you're old enough for knowing.''
