Please tell me the meaning of the following song mad world?

All around me are familiar faces


Worn out places, worn out faces


Bright and early for their daily races


Going nowhere, going nowhere


Their tears are filling up their glasses


No expression, no expression


Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow


No tomorrow, no tomorrow





And I find it kinda funny


I find it kinda 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


It's a very, very mad world mad world





Children waiting for the day they feel good


Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday


Made to 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 knew me


Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson


Look right through me, look right through me





wat does he mean by "the dreams in which im dying r da best i ever had?" explain the whole thing please

Please tell me the meaning of the following song mad world?
Basically it's a song about how life is just one big boring thing, example, have you ever had a dream that you enjoyed so much that when you woke up for the rest of your day all you can think about was your dream and how much you just wish you were back in that place? for me it's when i'm around people who are happy, maybe for the guy who sung the song was of him dying, everyone has their own place of happiness, i once had a dream of me dying and it lead me to another "dream" and i was warm, comfortable, happy, the next night all i can think about was "am i gonna dream the same thing as last night?"
Reply:This song is about how the world has changed because of racism and the lack of tolerance - it's wanting a change from the world we have now.


I believe he simply did not want to live in such an ugly world. I also heard he committed suicide. Report It

Reply:it wasnt made for donnie darko, tears of fear originally made the song, i guess it just about him being happy about dying, maybe hes not living a happy life while he is alive
Reply:i think it was made for the movie donnie darko. so think of it in terms of the movie... that or my jacka ss friend is lyin to me 'cause i was wondering the same thing.
Reply:It's up to you to decide what the song means. The guy enjoys having dreams where he's dying, why? I don't know, you either ask him or you make up your own mind about it.
Reply:I think it's about how a man realizes that everything in life is routine and everyone is just a blur after a while.
