Madness Lyrics

Cover art for Madness lyrics by Muse

It seems to be about a guy trying to determine if the intense emotions he feels with his girlfriend are a result of a healthy love, or some sort of psychological phenomenon based on some attachment or trauma issues. So is it love or is it madness? At one point he says he realizes what you mean (maybe what she told him finally sunk in). Was that about a dream-like expectation she was hoping for in their relationship? At another point, he realizes what you need. At the end, he realizes that instead of either or, their relationship is both love AND madness, and he needs it because it feels like home, so “come to me and trust in your dream and rescue me” from the mundane. I realize I can be stubborn and wrong, but he wants to continue on.
