Hua Chenyu - Madhouse [Live @ Mars 2019] | REACTION & ANALYSIS [中文字幕］

Hey everyone!

I hope you're all well, healthy, and staying safe!

It has been quite awhile since I've last reacted to Hua Chenyu; almost a year! In this video, I jump right back into it, reacting to Madhouse. Hope you enjoy the video :)

If you wish to view footage of Hua's performance (+ subtitles) without my reaction, here is the direct link to the video I reacted to:    • (EN JP IN SP GR CR FR GE RO SUB) Hua ...  

As per usual, a big shoutout goes to Hua Chenyu English Subs. They provide great subtitles for these Hua Chenyu performances, which in turn allows me to analyze the lyrics and get a better understanding of the songs. I have included their subtitles in this video, which you can access through the Closed Caption feature!

They were also kind enough to provide Chinese subtitles for this video, which you can access through the closed captions button.

Here is their English translation for this song:

Title: Madhouse
Composer: Hua Chenyu
Lyricist: Lyu Yiqiu

After I am utterly destroyed once more
All becomes purer
That shattered feeling
I know
After I escape once more

Escape the prison of the soul
That feeling of breaking free
I know
Quietly savoring, although there is only
A fleeting moment of freedom
In the confining room

It's 2:30 am
I muster up courage like Don Quixote
And declare war loudly to the air in front of me
When suppression is revealed
Welcome to the wild celebrations
Madness needs no compliments
Leave all hypocrisy till the Judgement Day
Like the most Baroque rhythm amongst obstinate arts

I wanna know, woh
I wanna know, woh
How could my extremity be saved
after being infected by passion?
I wanna know, woh
I wanna know, woh

On the lunch plate
Two flies are well dressed
With their very raucous voices
They debate their proof of existence

A backdrop of white time-space
The same repetitive arguments
This fleeting scene is so familiar
Maybe everything before the eyes is just an illusion
Amid chaotic thoughts
The most irrational of them all

I wanna know, woh
I wanna know, woh
How to mingle with the mainstream
in a mad world?
I wanna know, woh
I wanna know, woh oh

After I am utterly destroyed once more
All becomes purer
Those shattered feelings
I know, woo, oh, oh
After I escape again
Escape the prison of the soul
The feeling of breaking free
I know
I will try
Calmly drowning
In the gentleness of darkness

Very meticulously playing the melancholic clown
Standing in a corner
Enjoying a fleeting moment of freedom

MAMA
When clamor turns into a mime, the scene becomes a bit strange
Like the dangerous silence in the jungle
Uncovering anxious bodies
I follow the trajectory of time
trying to solve the puzzles myself
Those ignored and missed evidences
All point to the ignorant trap of words
How vicious are the beasts
in a subjective world?

I wanna know, woh
I wanna know, woh
How could I escape
after being hunted?
I wanna know, woh
I wanna know, woh

If a dosage could be taken to extend the madness
I could ignore all those cold-hearted accusations
Just indulge in completely insane words and phrases
This problem of relativity would
follow the logic of Einstein
The conflict is almost suffocating
during half-asleep, half-awake nights
All future unknowns will continue to make me conscious of
this feeling


I don't want to know
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
After I am utterly destroyed once more
All becomes purer
Those shattered feelings

I know, woo ho ho
After I escape again
Escape the prison of the soul
That feeling of breaking free
I know
I will try
Calmly drowning
in the gentleness of darkness

Very meticulously playing the melancholic clown
Standing in the corner
Enjoying a fleeting moment of freedom
To me
It is so strange

There are too many restraints and possibilities
Let me endure the process of breaking down
Let me be reborn
After I am utterly destroyed again
Everything becomes purer

This feeling of wild passions
I understand it just now
After I escape again
(That moment) is just ushered in
The freedom I am yearning for
After escaping the madness
Ohh, from the beginning
Till eternity
