| Muse – Undisclosed Desires Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
A truly wonderful song, but it is NOT about a woman or sex - which is much too shallow for M. Bellamy. It's about the masks we all wear (male - violence, female - beautiful) as opposed to those deeper secret (undisclosed) desires within (anyone's) heart - the true desires to be genuine, as buried under the more obvious and deceptive kind that really should not be there, such as demanding "demons from (our) past". The males among us wear the (false) mask of physical threat (violence), and the females; the need to be outwardly "beautiful" - both in order to "trick lovers" that we are sexy - at once, both 'wicked and divine", when only "the innocence is (real) mine" - but undisclosed. Indeed we are all being encouraged to look deeper, for that inner beauty, which is "not just a mask". "I know you've suffered" is according the environment today in which we live - "It's cold and loveless" which causes us all to "suffer", resulting in "want to hide" from the world's harshness. So we develop an inner "violence" we imagine will protect us, but really needs to be "soothed" and "reconciled" - before we can think about developing the GENUINE 'me' within. |

| Muse – Sunburn Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Sunburn is a truly great song with the deepest of lyrics which are not so easy to miss, even though most do. It's about the deceptive internal system resulting in a life of mediocrity that eventually overwhelms each of us as a result of lies/deception, necessarily promoting a debilitating 'guilty conscience' which slowly destroys us from within and also our surrounding relationships. "Come waste your millions here, Secretly she sneers" "She" is such internal deception feeding person's greed - wasting everything in trying to reach the unattainable (lie) - via grabbing that "new gadget" - or whatever deceptively promises happiness. So a "guilty conscience grows" within, which "burns (me) like the sun", but even though "she'll burn our horizons make no mistake", yet we "can't look away" to save ourself. So we "never dare" "to break these endless lies" by letting "the truth be shared" - even with self. Eventually, we "can't face the shame" so "hide from the world Behind a broken frame" (of myself) - and "burn forever" |
