Cover art for Collateral Damage lyrics by Muse

I honestly have a hard time listening to this song in public, I cry nearly every time I hear it. The children in the background are playing and happy, and then you can hear the missile, and suddenly the laughter turns to crying. I break down everytime... And then, there is another missile...

I see something way different when i think of this song. I imagine the children are playing on a playground, and instead of a missle, its a rocket blasting off into space. An American rocket, possibly going to the moon. The children are just watching it as it goes in the sky
