Sound Of Madness lyrics

I think it means that this guy is complaining to him and he is saying toughin up.

Oh my, here we go... I love the sound of this song... BUT the lyrics so clearly represent and fuel the huge social stigma affecting folks that do actually have the medical disease of bipolar. I have not met a diagnosed person yet who wants to be bipolar. It's not something you ask for and it is pure hell. Intense crying, paranoia, illogical depression and suicide are all symptomology that can only successfully be helped with treatment; medication, cognitive behavioral therapy and peer/family support. It takes a lot of effort on the part of a dignosed person to pick themselves back up, true. Having to take the meds should not be made fun of by someone supposedly trying to help- which is what I think this artist aimed to do; give a tough love message but ridiculously fell short by very obviously not being education on what the diagnosed person CAN and CANNOT control at the moment they are hurting the most. Shinedown defeated the purpose of their message beautifully.

i think this song is awsome and ti does tell the truth that suicide is not the awnser that you got fight 4 yourself then just giving up on life cause the only way to get yourself outa a hole is to start climbing

It is about a person who has been mocked and ridiculed their whole life and they are to the point of suicide. They aren't literally complaining to anyone, but the singer is speaking out to them... Telling them that he has been to the deepest parts of hell "I created the sound of madness, wrote the book on pain, but now I'm still here to explain"... He is telling them that no matter what they've been through that suicide is not the answer... That they need to wake up and "fight for themselves"... To put it bluntly, he's saying "toughen up, buttercup... stop being a pussy and trying to take the pussy way out... work through it like a man and be strong... If I can do it, you can do it"

its about someone whose always complaining about their life & the guy who is singing is saying he's been through a hell of alot more the other guy. Basically the kid needs to take action other than just sitting there complaining and getting nowhere.
