"Mad World" thoughts?

after reading or listening to this song


what do you think the alternate meanings could be;


All around me are familiar faces


Worn out places


Worn out faces


Bright and early for the daily races


Going no where


Going no where


Their tears are filling up their glasses


No expression


No expression


Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow


No tomorrow


No tomorrow


And I find I kind of funny


I find it kind of sad


The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had


I find it hard to tell you


I find it hard to take


When people run in circles its a very very


Mad world


Mad world


Children waiting for the day they feel good


Happy birthday


Happy birthday


And I feel the way that every child should


Sit and listen


Sit and listen


Went to school and I was very nervous


No one knew me


No one new me


Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson


Look right through me


Look right through me


And I find I kind of funny


I find it kind of sad


The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had


I find it hard to tell you


I find it hard to take


When people run in circles its a very very


Mad world


Mad world


Enlarging your world


Mad world

"Mad World" thoughts?
my alternate meaning is that the world is a cold place and it shall remain like this for many, many ages. Gary Jules perfectly describes our materialistic cold world, it just seems like people are going nowhere these days, no path, no meaning, no purpose, they just walk in useless circles every single day for the rest of their lives until they die kinda hoping someday something meaningful will happen..., strange... But things will get better in the future. I just know it.
Reply:Heres a bunch of pondering on the same question.
Reply:idk. sounds like this guy is singing about his perspective, about how mad this world can turn out to be, ha, with one crazy man like him. it's depressing but if you think hard enough, it does seem like a very 'mad world'.
