| The Killers – Human Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Are we human? Or are we denser? My sign is vital My hands are cold And I'm on my knees Looking for the answer Are we human? Or are we denser? This is spiritual to me. It seems he is talking to God, asking "on [his] knees" for an answer to the meaning of his life. Is he denser (either less then special, or even the opposite, made of more stuff) then just what he sees himself as. |

| Muse – The 2nd Law: Isolated System Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| While there are no actual lyrics there is a bit of verbiage in the song, by way of news broadcasts and the like. Because Unsustainable uses a news broadcast sound for its lyrics, perhaps Isolated System should have its transcript written out? | |
| Muse – Panic Station Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
A November 1918 edition of The Times printed a report called Behind the Veil . A part of it says, "Alarm gongs had already sent the guns' crews to their invisible guns and immediately after the explosion 'Panic stations' was ordered, followed in due course by 'Abandon ship.'" The story is about a Q-Ship called the HMS Prize . A Q-ship was a boat made to look like a slow, rusting cargo ship, but in reality was a naval ship that could do battle. They were used during WWI against German U-boats. From the story, the meaning of the command "panic stations," seems to be that sailors need to be on alert and ready to abandon ship if necessary as it the command was followed by the command "abandon ship." So, I wonder if this song isn't about being prepared for the inevitable crash of society as we know it. With that said I'll do a line-by-line explanation as i see it. You won't get much closer Until you sacrifice it all (all) We can only achieve so much without stepping out of our comfort zone. The ultimate victory isn't going to be realized until we are willing to give up our life lines (money, fame, habits, whatever they might be) for the greater prize. You won't get to taste it With your face against the wall (wall, wall) Having your face against a wall implies that you are being put there by an authority figure or bully. Like a cop that is apprehending a suspect or someone being fought in a bar/alley fight. You won't get to taste that greater prize if you continue to let others control you. Get up and commit Show the power trapped within (in, in) Commit to taking control of your own life. You have the power to exact the change you want to see even if you have never used it before. Do just what you want to And now stand up and begin (uh) What do you want? What is the change that you want to see? Start on it now. Hurry up. Ooooo 1, 2, 3, 4 fires in your eyes You are burning with determination now. Your dreams are fueling the fire that you have lit in your life. And this chaos, it defies imagination But all of this change is creating chaos beyond your imagination. Ooo 5, 6, 7, 8 minus 9 lives [I'm not sure about this one line.] You've arrived at Panic Station The point of no return. You either change or you might as well abandon ship. Doubts will try to break you Unleash your heart and soul (soul) You're going to run ino some problems but if you stop holding yourself back then you will have a fighting chance Trouble will surround you Start taking some control-(trol!) You are not a slave to anyone or anything, especially your own emotions.Control them, don't let them control you. Stand up and deliver Your wildest fantasy (sy, sy) give yourself permission to reach for your dreams. Do what the fuck you want to There's no one to appease (ee, ee) This can be taken 2 ways, either you don't have to please some non-existent God (if you are atheist) or even if there is a God you still don't have to please anyone on Earth but yourself. You are the person that will live with you forever. What are you going to put up with? And I know that you will fight for the duration You can do it. I believe in you. And I know I'm not resisting the temptations The temptation is to stay away from our comfort zones, enact changes to make the world better. I sure don't want to resist that temptation either. |

MuseWiki.org states that the lyrics are: "Come to me Just in a dream Come on and rescue me Yes I know I can't be wrong. And baby, you're too headstrong. Our love is madness." Although I didn't know that his "baby" is the one headstrong instead of "I'M to headstrong." Does the album sleeve have lyrics in them this time around? I haven't bought my own copy yet. |

| "It's the noise of humanity on a tiny planet in the middle of nothing," says Matt. "Hanging around space would be so peaceful and quiet and suddenly you come to this little blip that's f-----g chaos! I see it as drifting away from the planet and going into the peacefulness of what actually is gonna happen at the end of it all, which is nothingness." | |
| Muse – The 2nd Law: Unsustainable Lyrics | 13 years ago |

All natural and technological processes proceed in such a way that the availability of the remaining energy decreases. In all energy exchanges, if no energy enters or leaves an isolated system, the entropy of that system increases. Energy continuously flows from being concentrated, to becoming dispersed, spread out, wasted and useless. New energy cannot be created and high grade energy is being destroyed. An economy based on endless growth is Unsustainable Unsus- Unsustain- unsustain- unsust- Unsus- unsustaina- unsustainable Unsus- unsustain- unsustain- unsust- Unsus- unsus- You're unsustainable Unsustaina- unsustainable The fundamental laws of thermodynamics will place fixed limits on technological innovation and human advancement. In an isolated system the entropy can only increase. A species set on endless growth is Unsustainable Unsus- Unsustain- unsustain- unsust Unsus- unsustaina- unsustainable Unsus- unsustain- unsustain- unsust- Unsus- unsus- You're unsustainable |

Take me for a ride Break me up and steal what’s left inside And hope and pray iniquity has died inside and left a scar I’m on red alert Bring me peace and wash away my dirt Spin me round and help me to divert and walk into the light Warm my heart tonight Hold my head up high. Help me to survive Kick me when I’m down Feed me poison, fill me till I drown Wake me up before I get pushed out and fall into the night Warm my heart tonight (Force me to lose control) Hold my head up high (Watch as I lose my soul) Help me to survive (Push me until I fall) |

| Muse – Save Me Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Save me from my superstitions. Now i’m free, from this old condition. Wait just a while, and I’ll greet you with a smile. Hold me ‘cause I’m sure I’m hated. Promises, they are overrated. Wait just a while, while I’m drowning in denial. Turn me into someone like you. Find a place that we can go to. Run away and take me with you. Don’t let go I need your rescue. Watch me ‘cause I’m on a mission. Hold me back, so i’m forced to listen. Don’t let me go, ‘cause I’m nothing without you. Turn me into someone like you. Find a place that we can go to. Run away and take me with you. Don’t let go I need your rescue. Turn me into someone like you. Find a place that we can go to. Run away and take me with you. Don’t let go I need your rescue. |

| Muse – Big Freeze Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Healed, or are you still just reeling? Are you fine? Have you found a way to escape? Are you here, just because I need you? Can we hole up, a big freeze is heading our way. We are on a hiding to nowhere, We still hope, but our dreams are not the same. And I, I lost before I started, I’m collapsing in stellar clouds of gas. Hear me. What words just can’t convey. Feel me. Don’t let the sun in your heart decay. Fight, or will you show me mercy? We’ve expelled, the goodness from our hearts. Are you here, just to prove you’re winning? Can we hole up, and ride out this electrical storm? We destroyed something beautiful. We have faith, but our truths are not the same. Don’t give up, don’t let the magic leave us, Stop the loneliest force becoming king of the universe. Hear me. What words just can’t convey. Feel me. Don’t let the sun in your heart decay. Don’t give up, don’t let the magic leave us. We’re collapsing in stellar clouds of gas. Hear me. What words just can’t convey. Feel me. Don’t let the sun in your heart decay. |

| Muse – Explorers Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Once I hoped To seek the new and unknown. This planet’s overrun, There’s nothing left for you or for me. Don’t give in, we can Walk through the fields And feeling nature’s glow But all the land is owned. There’s none left for you or for me. Who will win? ‘cause I concede. Free me Free me Free me from this world. I don’t belong here, It was a mistake imprisoning my soul. Can you free me, Free me from this world. A world lush and blue With rivers running wild, They’ll be re-routed south, With none left for you or for me. Don’t give in, Hear the engines roar And save our crops from drought. But when the black gold’s in doubt, There’ll be none left for you or for me. Fuse helium-3, our last hope. Free me Free me Free me from this world. We don’t belong here, It was a mistake imprisoning our souls. Can you free me, Free me from this world. Free me I’ll free you Free us from this world. We don’t belong here, It was a mistake imprisoning our souls. Can you free me, Free me from this world. Running around in circles feeling caged By endless rules. Can you free me, free me from this world. Shh, Go to sleep. |

| Muse – Explorers Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| A song lamenting dying crops and abused nature, inspired by Matt's concerns of industrial greed and business monopolies. 'Explorers' is drenched in the sense of not belonging in your own world. Nearly called 'Alien Explorers,' Matt claimed, but "not in the way of aliens from outer space but in the way of feeling like an alien on your own planet. It's about the intense desire to grow and expand - at some point nature will become the minority. I'm not sure if I'm really coming from an environmental thing - [Explorers] is where I'm singing about my views on property rights. The idea that corporations can own vast tracts of foreign countries. I'm not sure if the deal went through but, I think it was in Paraguay or Uraguay, the Bush family bought something like a million acres of land, which underneath contains the biggest natural water reservoir in South America. At some point there has to be someone who says: 'That's not right.' Can BP buy Nigeria? At the moment they can. They could buy it and they kick all the natives out, shoot them down or whatever and just say, 'We own this now.' | |
| Muse – Animals Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| 'Animals' is about economies collapsing under the weight of stock market savagery, of industries desperate to "advertise, franchise… kill the competition," and of the greed of bankers who Matt claims should "kill [themselves]." Matt says: "This song is conjuring up the rawest form of that feeling of 'look what humans are capable of doing, it's shocking.'" | |
| Muse – Follow Me Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| The heartbeat is Matt's iPhone recording of his son Bingham. According to Bellamy, the song is about 'having a baby and that.' This was later confirmed in an NME article where the song was described as Matt's 'ode to fatherhood.' | |
| Muse – Survival Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| According to Matt the song is about "trying to get into that mindset of being completely determined to win, doing it against all the odds, the conviction and the truth of just wanting to win. I wanted to tune into the competitiveness of it all."[1] It's about "total conviction and pure determination to win." | |
| Muse – Madness Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| "You've had a fight with your girlfriend and she goes off to her mum's house for the day and you're on your own going: 'What did I say?'" says Matt, describing the song's inspiration. "I'm sure a lot of blokes have that experience in the early stages of relationships where you go, 'Yeah, she's right, isn't she?'" | |
| Muse – Supremacy Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
Supremacy: Wake to see, your true emancipation Is a fantasy. Policies, have risen up and overcome the brave. Greatness dies, unsung and lost, Invisible to history. Embedded spies, brainwashing our Children to be mean. You don’t have long I am on to you. The time, it has come to destroy Your supremacy. You don’t have long I am on to you. The time, it has come to destroy Your supremacy. It about mankind losing its supremacy over the Earth as "the seas have risen up" and energy shortages cause global desperation. |

| Originally this song had different lyrics and was about virtual reality technology. It was rewritten many times to the version you see here and can be able just about anything, but I still see the virtual technology references. Later Matt admitted that he forgot what it was even about. I read all of this from MuseWiki.org | |
