"Fillip" as written by and Matthew James Bellamy....
It's happening soon, it's happening soon
It's scent has been blowing in my direction
To me it is new, to me it is new
And it's not gonna change for anybody
And it's gonna be our last memory
And it's led me on and on to you
It's gotta be here, it's gotta be there
It's gotta be now or I'll lose forever
To me it is strange, this feeling is strange
But it's not gonna change for anybody
And it's gonna be our last memory
And it's led me on and on to you
Accuse me
Trust me, I never knew
That you were the one
You were the one
And it's gonna be our last memory
And it's led me on and on to you
And it's gonna be our last memory
And it's led me on and on to you
It's scent has been blowing in my direction
To me it is new, to me it is new
And it's not gonna change for anybody
And it's gonna be our last memory
And it's led me on and on to you
It's gotta be here, it's gotta be there
It's gotta be now or I'll lose forever
To me it is strange, this feeling is strange
But it's not gonna change for anybody
And it's gonna be our last memory
And it's led me on and on to you
Accuse me
Trust me, I never knew
That you were the one
You were the one
And it's gonna be our last memory
And it's led me on and on to you
And it's gonna be our last memory
And it's led me on and on to you

and it's gonna be really quick and really sudden, like fliping your finger.
n.
1. A snap or light blow made by pressing a fingertip against the thumb and suddenly releasing it.
2. An embellishment that excites or stimulates: “Spritely tabasco onions, just a little crunch for the top, were an added fillip” (Alison Arnett).
3. One that is trivial or of little importance.
I don't imagine there's a reason it should be spelled fillip when he would mean Phillip.
fil-lip A significant and often unexpected development
With this definition, maybe this song goes with 'Unintended'
"To me it is strange, this feeling is strange" - this doesn't neccessarily mean he's gay. It could mean that he's not used to loving someone, or he found out that he likes someone who he is not supposed to (eg. a good friend). To me this song is just about discovering something about yourself that people may not like, and deciding that you won't change yourself just to fit in. I might be wrong, but that can refer to so many other things than homosexuality. It's not that I have a problem with it, it's just that I think anni and radioheadxxslave are far off base here.
all i want to say is the base in this song KICKS ARSE! 'scuse the language. Chris Wolstenholme and Domonic Howard are underrated. Sure Matthew Bellamy is amazing and a pseudo-god but so are the other two!
"It's happening soon...its happening soon..."
If it were about him being gay what would that mean? Unless he was referring to anal sex. But seriously, and it's been explained multiple times what fillip can mean.
It's about something unexpected happening, whether it's something major (appocalypse, ice age, George W. Bush getting shot in the face) or minor I don't know. I don't feel like really analyzing this song. It sounds too filler to me.
