Think of something that has slipped out of anyone's hands. A shop sign thrown about by a storm. A heart before you walk on stage. A feeling so large that the person is carried along by it. Someone shouting with no brake on. Whatever madly is attached to, nobody is steering it any more.

可以想成一樣東西已經脫離控制了。招牌在暴風裡被甩來甩去。上台前心臟自己跳得飛快。一份感覺大到把人整個帶著走。一個人吼起來沒有剎車。不管 madly 接在哪個字後面,共同點都是:已經沒有人在掌控它了。
