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.
