Song Meaning
Anxiety is named early and without softening: "Sometimes it's hard to breathe," thoughts "shout at me," and darkness echoes all around. Switch answers with a statement of where hope is found, "only you," then quotes what God says: he is "working everything for my good." The singer's reply is short and settled, "I believe every word."
The chorus supplies the image behind the title. "Even in the madness there is peace," and through all the chaos God is "writing a symphony." The noise does not stop, but a different voice drowns out the other ones. The bridge continues the metaphor with a request to "tune my heart to your beat" and to be his melody "even when I cannot see."
The rap verse pushes the music picture further, asking how God composes something beautiful "from all my unruly notes," and describing suffering as being pressed and tuned like an instrument. It is a good fit for anyone who cannot see the pattern yet and is trusting the composer anyway.

Sometimes it's hard to breathe
All these thoughts they shout at me
Try to bring me to my knees
And it's overwhelming
Darkness echoes all around
Feels like everything is crashing down
Still I know where my hope is found
And it's only you and ooh-ooh
You say you're working everything for my good and ooh-ooh
I believe every word
'Cause even in the madness
There is peace
Drownin' out the voices
All around me
Through all of this chaos
You are writing a symphony
A symphony
And even in the madness
There is peace
Drownin' out the voices
All around me
Through all of this chaos
You are writing a symphony
A symphony, oh
Tune my heart to your beat
Let me be your melody
Even when I cannot see
But you orchestrate it
Even when the dark surrounds
You'll never let me drown
I know that my hope is found
In the name of Jesus
Ooh-ooh
You say you're working everything for my good
And ooh-ooh
I believe every word
'Cause even in the madness
There is peace
Drownin' out the voices
All around me
Through all of this chaos
You are writing a symphony
A symphony
And even in the madness
There is peace
Drownin' out the voices
All around me
Through all of this chaos
You are writing a symphony
A symphony, oh
Yo, I wanna truly know
If you compose beautiful
Music, though
From all my unruly notes
Distance is distant, it's movin' close
Now I see, erase the scales from my eyes
Then play the scale of my life
Chaos played off with a chord in accord
With a source prevailing through strife and
I've tasted suffering
I've been embraced by the painful buffering
I've been bound by doubts so loud right now
But a melody is made when you play these rusty keys
So we all gotta get pressed
Tuned up like instruments
But I know
All of life's tempo is set
Whenever we remember this
That even in the madness
There is peace
Drownin' out the voices
All around me
Through all of this chaos
You are writing a symphony
A symphony
And even in the madness
There is peace
Drownin' out the voices
All around me
Through all of this chaos
You are writing a symphony
A symphony, oh
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, a symphony
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, a symphony
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, a symphony
Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh, a symphony
