| Muse – Megalomania Lyrics | 18 years ago |

matt: "The lyric in the chorus is take off your disguise and underneath it´s me´ and that´s directed at the church. I went to church a couple of times when I was younger and I was always drawn to the church organ. The sounds coming out of it - I just wanted that, I didn´t want some geezer telling me how it should be. I saw this barrier, and how people use religion and things like that to attain power over each other… We recorded this song in a church, and it was a little bit of a test for myself, I went up to this vicar and said can I have ago on the church organ. He clocked me for what I was and said no unless I paid him £400. I paid him £350 and went in there and recorded this song, which is extremely anti-Christian, under a statue of Jesus. It was a dark moment in my life." I read somewhere else that the "useless device it wont suffice" refers to the church |

| Muse – Space Dementia Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| matt: “Space dementia is the term NASA used for what happens if you’re left out in space for a long time, because if you truly conceptualise the situation of being there and looking back on earth, it can drive you mad. The song is about a person whose quite important in my life and who gives me space dementia when I look at them. It’s about being intensely engrossed so that you become obsessive and almost nasty” | |

I remember reading this in an interview back in 2001 Matt Bellamy: it's an expression of what it feels like to be questioned. I spend more time than most people being asked about purpose, and it's a strange feeling. I don't really have the answers and I have to respond on the knowledge I have obtained so far, but the problem is that it gets printed, and something else has come along that's made you completely disagree with what you said |
