TEARS FOR FEARS
- Mad World LyricsAll around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Goin' nowhere, goin' nowhere
Their tears are fillin' up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world
Children waitin' 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
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Enlarge your world
Mad world
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Goin' nowhere, goin' nowhere
Their tears are fillin' up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world
Children waitin' 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
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world

When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, the track 'Mad World' by Tears for Fears delineates a scene of a community where individuals are confined to a loop of hollowness and disenchantment, which is illustrated by their running in circles and drinking away their worries. The words reveal the dilemma between the inner fight and the outer expectation, therefore, giving vent to the sensation of being cut off from others and the difficulty of discovering one’s purpose in a universe that is quixotic and apathetic. The lyrics of Mad world mostly point out disappointment, angst, meditation, isolation, and heartbreak. Concurrently, the melody accentuates the need for despair and, at the same time, hopelessness, isolation and loneliness, and life's absurdity. The verbal imagery is filled with sorrow, deep thinking about existence, and expressing despair which is not recommended for below 13 years old kids. Repeatedly talking about death and the songs whole atmosphere indicate a rather complicated emotional situation that needs the fact of parental guidance.

I always thought covers satisfied the ego of the singer but showed a lack of creativity, there's something sad about that. Thou MW's reinvet'n for film gave it credence and appreciate both versions.

The Tears for Fears original is angry and sarcastic. The Gary Jules cover is contemplative and sober. Both versions have different moods that make sense in their own contexts.

If you watch Donnie Darko and see how the song is used in that context, the cover makes a lot more sense.

I like Adam Lambert's version the best. All due respect for Gary Jules AND Tears for Fears, but I thought Adam's was so much more emotional.

This Version by Tears for Fears is much more better than the Gary Joules. Although the Gary Joules version is ok too.
