Theme
A song that delves into the theme of mental breakdown and instability in a chaotic world. The narrator feels the world is **'going crazy'** and admits to feeling the same, struggling with inner 'rage' and feeling 'off the edge'. The lyrics reflect a sense of paranoia and a feeling of being replaced or unable to cope with the pressure.
Lyrics
Lately, it seems the **world is going crazy**
It won't be long till they **replace me**
And **nothing seems to faze me**, anymore
I can't take it, I get the feeling I won't make it
I'm feeling bad and I can't shake it
And now I'm **living just to fake it**, what's more
Which way is **right**? Come with me
Which way is **wrong**? Come with me
Which way is **up**? Come with me
Which way is **down**?
**Crazy**, I'm going **crazy**, this **world's gone crazy**
I'm **falling off the edge**
Lately, I wake each morning **feeling beat**
And now there's **panic in the street**
Someone keeps **turning up the beat** everywhere
Every day, I'm like an **actor on the stage**
I'll never let you see my **rage**
I'm not at peace out of my **cage** anywhere
Which way is **right**? Come with me
Which way is **wrong**? Come with me
Which way is **up**? Come with me
Which way is **down**?
**Crazy**, I'm going **crazy**, this **world's gone crazy**
I'm **falling off the edge**
**Crazy**, We're going **crazy**, this **world's gone crazy**
We're **falling off the edge**
Solo - Dave
Solo - Chris
Lately, I can't believe the things I see
This **ignorance and apathy**
Brings out the **lunatic in me**, if you care?
It blows my mind, when you **sneak off into the night**
Maybe it's better that you **lie**
Just don't forget to **say goodbye**, if you dare?
**Crazy**, I'm going **crazy**, this **world's gone crazy**
I'm **falling off the edge**
**Crazy**, We're going **crazy**, this **world's gone crazy**
We're **falling off the edge**
