H-8
Is the one for me
It gives me all I need
And helps me coexist
With the chill

You make me sick
Because I adore you so
I love all the dirty tricks
And twisted games you play
On me

Space dementia in your eyes and
Peace will arise
And tear us apart
And make us meaningless again

You'll make us want to die
I'd cut your name in my heart
We'll destroy this world for you
I know you want me to
Feel your pain

Space dementia in your eyes and
Venus will arise
And tear us apart
And make us meaningless again

    Space dementia is a term Nasa use to describe what some astronaughts experiance when theyre in space, looking at all the planets and feeling insignificant. I think that Matt is trying to say that that is the feeling he gets when he looks at the person he is singing about. He is in awe of them, I wouldnt call it love as such but he extremely admires and respects them in a way he cant explain.......I think :)

    i particularly love the piano bit at the start....i think he's infatuated with someone, but he hates to feel like he does...."you make me sick, because i adore you so.."

    H8 is a supercomputer used by NASA. It does NOT mean 'hate' and it does NOT mean 'Heil Hitler'

    could be about the whole war or dicator (like hitar) thing. while he is at war and on top of the world he feels great and would do anything (they all would) for their dictator. But when the war is over the relationship will be meaningless and the glory will be gone. Just a little insignificant suggestion . lol :)

    This song is about all the mushrooms that messed up boy of a singer Mr. Bellamy yammes when he is writing all his stuff. "You make me sick" but he loves the feeling so much he will take this "Pain" to see all the "Dirty tricks and twisted games" they play with his subconcious. Or mabye i'm wrong.

    i think it's about admiration of a certain person, so much so that he would gladly do anything for him/her: "i cut your namein my heart" an emotional statement. probably :-p

    This is defenitely the best work of piano in any rock song, ever. The reason that Muse is my favorite contemporary band.

    I'm sure this song is about a person he loves so much.. It's a really strong song, because there are a lot of emotions in, especially the "you make me sick because i adore you so" and "i love all your dirty tricks" show his love for someone. my english isn't very well because i'm dutch sorry :)

Alma Matters
Morrissey
The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
