Unravelling Lyrics

Un-Un-Unravelling
Un-Un-Unravelling
Un-Un-Unravelling
Un-Un-Unravelling

An insect trapped in amber
I'm a fading pulse
The ecstasy was false
Our love is an unlit script
No one can memorise
Redacted and revised
I'm right beside you and
I will try to play along

An insect trapped in amber
I'm a static hum
No longer happy dumb

Un-Un-Unravelling
Un-Un-Unravelling
Un-Un-Unravelling
Un-Un-Unravelling

Feeling the glow
Die Inside of our bones
This is a hymn for our love
With no god
And no throne

Un-Un-Unravelling

Your eyes grow colder
Sunrise as we disembark
You left me in the dark

An insect trapped in amber
I'm a fading high
Our heaven is a lie

Un-Un-Unravelling
Un-Un-Unravelling
Un-Un-Unravelling
Un-Un-Unravelling

Feeling the glow
Die Inside of our bones
This is a hymn for our love
With no god
And no throne

Feeling the glow
Die Inside of our bones
This is a hymn for our love
With no god
And no throne
No throne

Cover art for Unravelling  lyrics by Muse

This track delves deep into themes of decay and emotional disintegration. Matt Bellamy uses vivid metaphors like “an insect trapped in amber” and “our love is an unlit script no one can memorise” to express a love that is both frozen in time and impossible to grasp fully. These poetic lines carry a sense of loss and confusion which pairs beautifully with the song’s moody instrumental backdrop. The refrain and chorus build on this, describing a love without divine guidance or power, a “hymn for our love with no God and no throne,” adding layers of existential melancholy to the track.
