Muse – Map of Your Head Lyrics 16 years ago
I personally think this is a kind of social commentary.

"I'm sick of feeling my soul
some people who'll never know
just how purposely and empty they grow
because their language confuses
like computers refuse to understand
how i'm feeling today"

This is talking about people who are superficial and ignorant and refuse to look at the fact that their speech has made them useless and purposeless. Their language confuses because Matt is looking for something deeper and they just ramble on about pointless things.

"i'm freezing and loosing my way
i don't need another map of your head
i'm freezing and losing my way
i don't need another map of your head"

He's cold and alone and feels lost, and their language is not guiding him anywhere in the right direction. He says he doesn't need "another map of your head", meaning he doesn't need their messed up thoughts about his situation, kind of how people you don't care about always try to give you advice on situations.

"i saw a liquid controlled
that gives life to a soul
i hit my head on it
and woke up to know
that i was all alone
wearing just socks and a phone
someone's screaming
like their world might explode"

The chaos in the world is really displayed here. I don't think it's talking about alcohol, I think he's more commenting on the drug abuse that runs rampant in today's society. So he wakes up confused and dazed amidst the chaos of "someone screaming".
