Muse Lyrics

    ------ About the song Madness performed by Muse

Don't want to spoil any kids' fun, but I'm a little old lady generally disappointed by what passes for music today. Then lightning strikes and I stumble across a tune where the artist actually sings instead of bellowing, swearing, screeching, whining, or any of that other garbage that hurts my delicate ears. The very rarity of this gem gives me hope. Muse can actually SING! FOR REAL! All is not lost....

    ------ About the song Thoughts of a Dying Atheist performed by Muse

people who believe in religion or a god are really grasping at a straw. You must treat your existence here as the opportunity to enjoy life and help people where ever possible. Thinking there is something better after this life is just an excuse to not do as well as you should, because you dont have to, you will be rewarded afterwards. All of that type of thinking is just a crutch.

    ------ About the song Invincible performed by Muse

The beauty of this song is that it is so inspirational, yet can be interpreted in so many different ways and applied to all walks of life; to love, a revolution or fight for freedom etc. I personally feel that it's about humanity as a whole, struggling against the many obstacles that we face in the modern world, yet if we fight together we are truly invicible. There is nothing that we will not overcome if we are united. The song also celebrates differences between people and diversity within the human race; the lines "it makes no difference to me what you leave behind and what you choose to be" in particular convey this. A fantastic song that always cheers me up and keeps me going when things are going badly; this should be the national anthem of humanity as a whole.

    ------ About the song Shrinking Universe performed by Muse

They are actually wrong... It's not "cast your eye tears on to me", which is distinguishable when you listen to the song or look at theogficial lyrics. It's "ideals". That changes the meaning a bit- in the general direction of "someone has deluded himself into thinking his world is perfect, but this illusion is getting destroyed"

    ------ About the song Fury performed by Muse

I don't really think there's a religious/anti-religious meaning behind this song. I just feel it as a consideration of human beings' FURY bringing them to pursue their aims no matter what, even if they have to do commit sins to obtain them. That's why he states "and we'll pray there's no God", in my opinion. It's a metaphor of man's deep and hidden fear related to his guilt.

    ------ About the song Thoughts of a Dying Atheist performed by Muse

Awesome song is what I would first like to say before I get myself involved in the bullshit drama of the internet. Okay atheist have their claim that there is no god and nothing other than what we can explain from my knowledge of atheism. It's awesome that these people are very critical and skeptical of what is going on. Makes them good thinkers. But why do you cast judgment on Christians and constantly hate on us. Don't you get irritated when that stereotypical christian starts berating you with judgement for not believing in what they believe in? It hypocritical. I also like to admit that yes I do believe in that "fairy tale" that there is an after life. Shit it might make me weak minded in some of your eyes, but I don't give a damn. The reason I believed at first was because I was brain washed to believe. I'll admit that straight from birth most christian parents make their kids christian. Not a bad thing from a christian perspective. But I had my doubts and started thinking for myself and stuck to my faith. Not blind lay though I've done plenty of research heard arguments from both sides of the spectrum. The point that I think atheism lacks is it cannot deny a creator. Evolution does not deny a creator. The big bang does not deny a creator. Our modern day lives do not deny a creator. Hell I believe in evolution and the big bang theory because it's logical. My final thought is the world would be just as fucked up without religion as it is with. People always find a reason to kill one another.

    ------ About the song Dead Star performed by Muse

This song testifies that Muse are not a pope rock band and can go heavy metal. The distortion in the melody adds to the horific atmosphere it creates and my my my my!!! the voice with the breath overs.. it just expresses your in most pain in full and realises it. Frankly no one will ever replicate muse EVER!! thats why they deserve to be at the top.

    ------ About the song Muscle Museum performed by Muse

"Can you see that I am needing, begging for so much more, than you could ever give. And I don’t want you to adore me,don’t want you to ignore me when it pleases you."
It's terrible when you realize that it is YOU that is treating in this way the people, or better the one, you love.
But it's more terrible when you realize that you will never able to give to him what he truly needs.
So, what am I supposed to do?

    ------ About the song Bliss performed by Muse

Hey, I'm 13 and a die hard muse fan. My dad was the first one that showed muse to me when I was 2 years old, the same year that origin of simmetry was released, and I have to say that when my dad played bliss on our old radio, I. Just fell in love with that song. When I was 5 my dad died, and they played plug in baby, his favorite song, after that I made a promise to myself that I would learn to play the guitar for him, now everytime I listen this song I remember him, but I never knew the meaning until now, so thanks guys :)

    ------ About the song Ruled By Secrecy performed by Muse

Mostly (and because of the band's own statement) this song is interpretated to show the desperation of someone repressed by bad government. But I also think it could be the exactly reverse of this interpretation: This song is about the government or more precisely about the leading person of the government itself. "Repress and restrain" is what he's doing but he's standing under high pressure. "You're working so hard" is some kind of ironic by the narrator (who seems to be neutral; like making a neutral threat)"and you're never in charge" is also sarcastic because the bad leaders always try to present theirselves as much innocent as they can though that's a lie. "Your death creates success" is of course true for the rebells who are aiming this and want to form a new government. Climax of course is the chorus: "Change in the air" is the biggest fixpoint to claim this different meaning. If he'd be talking about depression like taking it out of Orwell's 1984 this would be way to hopeful. "And they'll hide everywhere" can mean spies by the government but in this interpretation also spies by the revolution who already infiltrated government business. "And no one knows who's in control" also fits better in this kind of interpretation because most of the time the leaders are highly-known (like in 1984) in contrast to the revolution-leaders who are mostly invisible and hidden in the underground.
