"Doesn't anyone know what "Apocalypse" means...??"
It's funny you say that, Muse Bety.
Apocalypse is derived from the Greek word apokalypsis, but the literal meaning of the word is actually an "unveiling", or "revealing"
In keeping with the concept of the rest of the album, I think this about what comes after death, after what we see as the "end" - something terrible and fantastic...?
"it's time we saw a miracle
come on it's time for something biblical"
I once read an article describing this song as a "cataclysmic Nazi stampede of piano chords". At first I thought this was distasteful and bad criticing (thats not a word - I know) but maybe the critic is reacting to what he or she feels Muse is trying to create an impression of - the worst, most terrific thing ever, and evil from history is all he can identify Muse's awesome lyrical description with.
As for the name - does anyone else feel Matt's wry bit of humour - Apocalypse Now seemed a rather brusque and demanding title, so he thought he'd be a little more polite with his own masterpiece..?
