"M.A.D." is a song by Hadouken! that features electronic beats and aggressive lyrics. The title stands for Mutually Assured Destruction, which refers to the Cold War era policy of both the United States and Soviet Union having enough nuclear weapons to obliterate each other in case of an attack. The lyrics describe chaos and destruction, with mentions of poisonous food and radioactive materials. The band members declare their power and ability to create beats that "crack your cranium". They challenge listeners to fight or spar, and offer to "bang the drum at your door". The overall tone of the song is confrontational and rebellious, with an emphasis on the power of music to incite action and change. The message could be interpreted as a call to action against oppressive forces or as a warning about the dangers of unchecked power and conflict.
