| Apocalyptica – Faraway Vol. 2 Lyrics | 19 years ago |

I heard this is supposed to be about a heroin addict and the traumas this has on a relationship. Whether this is true or not, it really is a beautiful song and I feel most people will go through a point in thier lives when they can totally identify with this. |

| Muse – Apocalypse Please Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
"Doesn't anyone know what "Apocalypse" means...??" It's funny you say that, Muse Bety. Apocalypse is derived from the Greek word apokalypsis, but the literal meaning of the word is actually an "unveiling", or "revealing" In keeping with the concept of the rest of the album, I think this about what comes after death, after what we see as the "end" - something terrible and fantastic...? "it's time we saw a miracle come on it's time for something biblical" I once read an article describing this song as a "cataclysmic Nazi stampede of piano chords". At first I thought this was distasteful and bad criticing (thats not a word - I know) but maybe the critic is reacting to what he or she feels Muse is trying to create an impression of - the worst, most terrific thing ever, and evil from history is all he can identify Muse's awesome lyrical description with. As for the name - does anyone else feel Matt's wry bit of humour - Apocalypse Now seemed a rather brusque and demanding title, so he thought he'd be a little more polite with his own masterpiece..? Just a thought... |

| Muse – Butterflies and Hurricanes Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song is everything Its like a head-on collision between burbling electronics, techno space rock operatics, a behemothic string colossus with a monstrous Rachmaninovian piano interlude. To me it's the music of the future, it's asking questions about the universe, it's translating the language of chaos so humans can understand that this is our chance to change the world, that tiny insignificant events (like the repeated D at the beginning of the song) can flourish into the phenomenal hugeness of the beautiful piano solo and the song's massive conclusion. It's all about casuation and change, it's apocalyptic and terrible, but at the same time it's giving us a chance. This is our time, our time is NOW. "Your number has been called" It's like you've been chosen to fight in this epic and final battle, it's filmic and heroic, but maybe its suggesting a future society where we will all have numbers, and will have to struggle against each other to "be the best." It forecasts a huge and climatic end to everything, but far from conveying gloominess it's fantastic and heart-attack inducing. I saw this live at Earls Court. At the end, we all fell over. -:- |

| Muse – Space Dementia Lyrics | 19 years ago |

That’s interesting, DarkenedSilence. I think this song is majory classically driven anyway, as is much of Muse. The bass line goes through a circle of fifths at the chorus which Q of Sheeb does all the time. Matt is really influenced by Sergei Rachmaninoff, the Russian composer, in fact the tune at lines; "and tear us apart and make us meaningless again" is a direct quotation from Rach's Piano Concerto No. 2 (1st movement) - (i was listening to it the other day, was like..."F*ck! This sounds a bit like ... Muse! Matt you plagarist...!") I wouldn't be surpised if the vast rippling piano arpeggios at the beginning of the song were taken from the beginning of the concerto too as its absurdly simular. In fact if you stuck all the Muse songs together you'd probably come up with a piece of Rachmaninoff... :P (Rach 2 is the same one Matt took the Butterflies and Hurricanes solo from. It's great :D ) Temper, isn't that H8/Hate thing a computer that astronauts operate in rockets? Ties in the the whole Space Dementia thing (which I understood was also a physical nauseous effect of being in space for a long time) Just a thought... |
