"Supermassive Black Hole" as written by and Matthew James Bellamy....
Oh baby, don't you know I suffer?
Oh baby, can you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretenses
How long before you let me go?
Ooh
You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
I thought I was a fool for no one
Oh baby, I'm a fool for you
You're the queen of the superficial
And how long before you tell the truth?
You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
Super massive black hole
Super massive black hole
Super massive black hole
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
Oh baby, can you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretenses
How long before you let me go?
Ooh
You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
I thought I was a fool for no one
Oh baby, I'm a fool for you
You're the queen of the superficial
And how long before you tell the truth?
You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
Super massive black hole
Super massive black hole
Super massive black hole
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night

The first verse is setting the listener up for the situation. The speaker of the song, I'll just name him as Matt, met a woman under the said "false pretenses." She promised him more than he was going to get and he definitely wants more from her. He can't seem to get over her. Then, he goes onto say "you set my soul alight" which is pretty obvious in meaning.
A glacier melting in the dead of night/superstar getting sucked into a supermassive black hole are both actions where a victim is undergoing inevitable circumstances. The glacier is melting, reserves are melting, lines are getting blurred, inhibitions drop. The superstar getting sucked into the supermassive black hole represents Matt getting sucked in by this girl. She's the black hole; nothing can escape her, not even light.
The second verse is calling her superficial, saying he's a fool for her. He knows she's no good for him, but he still gets sucked in by her, hoping that on day the truth will come out and that she'll honestly want him.
I hope this helped. :)
couldn't agree with you more...
Matt is the superstar (irl), getting sucked into a supermassive blackhole (that is the lusty charms of an average woman)
The title refers to an ass. A huge ass. Only kidding.
I love this song, but when I read your comment, I almost fell of my chair laughing.
:)
"And the superstar sucked into the supermasssive"= superstar: PENIS - Supermassive: Vagina.
done!
And if you see the video and if you have some knowledge about symbologies you'll notice a lot of them there
and this can make sense because this song is on the BHAR album and they talk about that stuff in this album and also because Muse decided to put this song on a totally commercial movie such as Twilight...
This isn't at all a bad song; it's just less opinionated than most other Muse songs, and it's catchy, somewhat repititive nature has likened it to the shallow pop-music so common on our radios nowadays.
It refers to a relationship based on appearances ("queen of the superficial"), held by curiosity (as in, he is attracted to the mystery, knowing that there is more than what meets the eye). He discovers more about this person all the time, melting away her pretences ("glaciers melting in the dead of night"), as if she were something of an ice-queen. He believes she holds the upper-hand, because she knows he's not going anywhere as long as he is held by mystery.
*Note: Most Muse songs seem to be about this selfish, victimized sort of relationship.
Well... this song is an... interesting new approach for Muse. I HATED it the first time I listened to it, but now I actually think it\'s alright.
My interpretation is that it\'s about a guy who falls in love with a celebrity, or a \"superstar\", and thinks this person is amazing, then the superstar leaves this person, and the person left alone wishes them to either feel the pain they feel, get physically hurt, or die, as evendenced by the \"Supermassive black hole\" metaphor.
Of course, I could be totally off. Oh well.
Muse are one of the best bands on the planet, and deserve more respect than to have teenage fan girls lust over them because a song was in Twilight.
i've known muse since time is running out and i've just been at their first concert on their world tour in bern. it was great! but of course there were many people who just knew the newest songs which are played in the radio. but who cares? i hate discussions about "being a better fan" of anything... could be music or sports or...
by the way, this song is just great!
