| Beautiful song. Am very clueless as to any great meaning but it's so sad yet uplifting too... Blur at their best. | |
| Muse – Dead Inside Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Still very early days for me as i've only listened to the song a few times.... But I wonder if the whole love/relationship analogies are a bit of imagery or a red herring... If you look at the lyrics in terms of two halves of a fractured psyche that're competing for dominance that seems to fit quite well. There's a dominant half that is "bad" but it's confidence, capability and sheer will ensures it is always on top. The protagonist is the cowed, buried half that is "good" but lacks the strength to fight or usurp the "bad" side. By the end of the song the darker half appears to have subsumed the good part entirely, enabling and empowering him/it but leaving him ultimately "Dead Inside" as a result. Thinking of it - schzophrenia is pretty fanciful, maybe depression, anxiety/social phobia would fit the same sort of metaphor... I dunno, just something off the wall from my first few listens. The lyrics are definitely some song-writing more in line with Muse's earlier, more dexterous work anyway i think (a good thing). A lot of their songs were always open to interpretation i always thought and they lost that over the course of the last couple of albums.... Great to have some good stuff back!! |
