About This Track

Ruelle's 'Madness' captures emotional turbulence through restraint. The track builds from intimate observation, where secrets and lies cut deep, into a chorus of escalating pressure: fury closing in, resistance collapsing, nowhere left to run. The repetition of the title phrase becomes its own kind of momentum, a spiral rather than a release. The cinematic, moody tone that defines Ruelle's work carries through here, with themes of loss, depression, and romantic uncertainty woven into the lyrical fabric. What emerges is a portrait of someone overwhelmed, caught between the need to hide and the impossibility of escape.

"Madness" is a track by Ruelle, from the album Madness, released 9th December 2016. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Madness

[Verse 1]

I see that look in your eyes

It makes me go blind

Cut me deep, these secrets and lies

Storm in the quiet

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]

Feel the fury closing in

All resistance wearing thin

Nowhere to run from all of this havoc

Nowhere to hide

From all of this madness, madness, madness

Madness, madness, madness

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]

Feel the fury closing in

All resistance wearing thin

Nowhere to run from all of this havoc

Nowhere to hide

From all of this madness, madness, madness

Madness, madness, madness

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Outro]

Nowhere to run

There's nowhere to hide

This is madness, madness, madness

Madness, madness, madness

Madness, madness, madness
