He's asking us to do something about this or maybe trying to convince us (Will you slam shut or free your mind? Or stay hypnotized). So basically,our guy is really just into this, and is convinced they will come down at some point (Open the skies over me, I am waiting patiently). Now, zetas are basically aliens from the Zeta Reticuli star system (look at the 3rd paragraph). It's a really fun song that I think was one of the band's earliest of conspiracy-inspired songs. Basically, become an assassin.Įxo-Politics: Going to take from a previous comment. Standing up for the people who don't have a say (These people are torn), and fight against the leaders of the world (Destroy demonocracy). This song starts off with a command (The time has come for you, to shoot your leaders down) asking you take control of the situation at hand. Great lyrics.Īssassin: A little more aggressive this time. That despite people putting you down, together we're invincible. The song tells you that you are worth something (Cause there's no one like you, in the universe) and you are able to make a difference (But please, please let's use this chance to turn things around). It's most similar to Butterflies and Hurricanes. It's not cheesy and it's not too aggressive or heavy (I still love you Survival, Knights, and Uprising). Invincible: I think what makes this song so great apart from other motivational songs Muse have done is how earnest and more personal it is. In the end, he loses hope (There's no justice in the world, and there never was). However, he'll still die for them (I will still lay down my life for you) because there is no other options.
He's questioning the government and why they are sending off soldiers who are going to die anyways (How could you send us, so far away from home). It's from a perspective of a soldier, obviously. They need the comfort of a person that they used to have a strong relationship with, but has to face it alone (When will this loneliness be over?). It comes from the perspective of someone who is losing (And I feel like everything I saw, is being swept away) and wants the fighting to stop (Why can't we see that when we bleed, we bleed the same). Map of the Problematique: Possibly taking about the state of the world which is pretty shitty at this point (I want to be free from desolation and despair). How women lie and despite that, you are still drawn in and sucked in. "You caught me under false pretenses" and "You're the queen of the superficial" were lines that caught my attention. Getting back to the point, it's also about lies. I agree with Matt that's about women, although that part about a ménage-a-trois involving R2D2 and The Queen when she was hot, that I will ignore. Supermassive Black Hole: It's a pretty sexy song if you ask me. They get it through finding the right people and finding love, clinging onto them (And I'll never let you go, if you promise not to fade away).Īs for the lines "Our hopes and expectations, Black holes and revelations", I simply see it as the good and the bad times you have and are willing to go through. The last meaning I can think of is about a person whose depressed and wants happiness (I will be chasing a starlight, until the end of my life).Another look at it is about being in love (I just wanted to hold you in my arms), but it's also somewhat destructive (Far away from the memories, of the people who care if I live or die).It could about being away for a long time (This ship has taken me far away) and how you long to be with the people you love.I think of several meanings to this song actually. Or is it? Looking at the lyrics, it's kind of sad, but hopeful. Starlight: Something a little lighter this time. Telling them that they'll burn in hell for their sins and by the time they hit rock bottom (You will beg for their lives and their souls), no one will help you because you are killing them (You will risk all their lives and their souls). You start off calm, but then you start to get more mad and you just go off on a person. I'd like to think the increase in tone is the equivalent to anger. Being corrupt, hypnotizing the public to forget or ignore their wrongdoings, getting people killed etc. It starts with a person explaining to world leaders about what they have done. Themes: Politics and governments (dystopian and authoritarian based perhaps?), corruption, conspiracy theories, and some elements on human emotions. Now, whether that's good or not is debatable. This album feels like it was the beginning of their political-driven songs and themes which have been prevalent in recent albums as well.
