Resistance Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Zanorath 

Cover art for Resistance lyrics by Muse

It's obviously straight from Nineteen Eighty-Four. I mean "Quell your prayers for love and peace / You'll wake the thought police / We can hide the truth inside," is obvious, and I'd say the "Love is our resistance / They keep us apart and won't stop breaking us down" bit is about Winston and Julia's love in the book, and their experience in the Ministry of Love and Room 101. Seems most of this album was inspired by 1984...

Song Meaning

@adam0509

It's thought police..Far police? lol that doesnt even make any sense... I recommend you go and read the George Orwell book 1984,as pointed out this whole album, and in particular this song, was obviously greatly inspired by one of the greatest literary works of our time

this is a great song

exactly. "love is our resistance" Julia's goal, especially, was to resist The Party in as many small ways as possible, and their love was the biggest accomplishment...
