I’m just a mad man
With the right set of keys
To open up all the wrong doors
I want love
I want power
The man the of the hour
For 25 hours a day

I’m just waiting to let you down
Please don’t obsess or I’ll start slipping away
It’s the noise of the crowd that keeps me
Selling you out
It’s all part of the game

You think you want me but I’ve changed
I’m too sick from chasing fame
But I’d like you to stay tonight
Help me to save tonight
Please just walk away
Safe to fight another day
I don’t want you to stay tonight
But you could change my mind

Never learned my lesson
If you want it go and get it
You might find yourself in heaven
Even if it’s for a second
That’s enough

I can taste your blood
Mix it up
Mix it up
With the sound of our downfall baby
Rip the stitches out
This is my fault maybe
Im wrong
But I want the pleasure and I want the pain
Taste of my tongue and then spit in my face
Give me your love and then take it away
I want the high and the low
And the take this shit slow
And the money and murder
The blood on clothes
The Feeling obsessive in love and afraid

You think you want me but I’ve changed
I’m too sick from chasing fame
But I’d like you to stay tonight
Help me to save tonight
Please just walk away
Safe to fight another day
I don’t want you to stay tonight
But you could change my mind

  1. Saw them live last night, very tight!

    Muse in the front and Messugah in the back.

    Or as my girl said β€œlike 21 Pilots if 21 pilots could actually deliver on what they were trying to do.”

  2. Seen these guys live opening for highly suspect. Honestly theyre so good we thougut we were at the wrong concert for a minute πŸ˜‚ By FAR one of the best performances ive ever seen live. Better than the RHCP show i went to tbh, which is huge. Keep it up guys!!!

  3. Thanks ChatGPT:

    The lyrics you've shared from this Banks Arcade song explore themes of internal conflict, the dangerous allure of fame, and the complexities of relationships in the face of personal turmoil.

    Here's a breakdown of some of the key themes and lines:

    Self-Identification and Conflict:

    "I’m just a mad man / With the right set of keys / To open up all the wrong doors":
    This suggests a self-aware acknowledgment of self-destructive tendencies, like having the means or abilities to make choices but repeatedly making the ones that lead to negative outcomes.

    Aspiration and Excess:

    "I want love / I want power / The man of the hour / For 25 hours a day":
    There's a desire for more than what's possible β€” more time, more love, more power, indicating a sense of never being satisfied and always seeking excess.

    Reluctance and Fame:

    "You think you want me but I've changed / I’m too sick from chasing fame":
    Fame has transformed the speaker, and not for the better; they recognise the toxicity in their pursuit of fame and the negative impact it has had on them.

    Dichotomy of Need and Rejection:

    "But I’d like you to stay tonight / Help me to save tonight / Please just walk away":
    There's a push-pull dynamic here, where the speaker simultaneously desires company and salvation but also recognises the need for solitude and the healthiness of distance.

    Momentary Escape:

    "Never learned my lesson / If you want it go and get it / You might find yourself in heaven / Even if it’s for a second":
    Despite understanding the consequences of their actions, the speaker suggests that the fleeting moments of joy or escape are worth the continuous cycle of seeking gratification.

    Inner Turmoil and Pain:

    "I want the pleasure and I want the pain / Taste of my tongue and then spit in my face":
    This highlights the masochistic element of wanting to experience the full spectrum of emotion, even when it's harmful.

    Destructive Relationships and Self-Awareness:

    "Give me your love and then take it away / I want the high and the low":
    The speaker acknowledges their toxic tendencies in relationships, craving intensity and emotional extremes.

    The Downfall and Violence of Fame:

    "And the money and murder / The blood on clothes":
    There's an acknowledgment of the violence (literal or metaphorical) that can accompany fame and success β€” the lengths people will go to achieve or maintain it, and the bloodshed (again, possibly metaphorical) that might result.

    Overall, the song paints a picture of someone caught in the throes of fame, struggling with its impact on their personal relationships and self-identity. The lyrics express a cycle of addiction to the highs of love and recognition, the lows of self-loathing and the realisation that they are in a toxic pattern that both repels and attracts them. It's a complex interplay between wanting to be saved from this cycle and the seductive pull of its excitement and danger.
