Lead vocalist 'Matt Bellamy' had the idea of being lost, when you are tethered to a space station & get snipped off and floating off into space and seeing how the planet is disappearing. He composed The Void after watching some movies with the bands record producer 'Rich Costey'. Costey has a projector and they had some sci-fi films from the 80s playing in the studio & Matt liked the synths very ominous and slightly threatening sound from films by 'John Carpenter' for example, which in turn inspired him to compose the song.
