Your golden lies feed my role
In this forgotten space race under my control
Who's returned from the dead?
Who remains?
You know I don't want you
and I never did
I don't want you
and I never will
You wanted more than I was worth
And you think I was scared
And you needed proof
Who really cares anymore?
Who restrains?
You know I don't love you
and I never did
I don't want you
and I never will
In this forgotten space race under my control
Who's returned from the dead?
Who remains?
You know I don't want you
and I never did
I don't want you
and I never will
You wanted more than I was worth
And you think I was scared
And you needed proof
Who really cares anymore?
Who restrains?
You know I don't love you
and I never did
I don't want you
and I never will

The other one who used to tell lies to intemdate, controle and feed his Arrogant self,
and maybe he believes in deep that this weak young smart little one is much better than him .
and with time the weak one became conscious, beleved in him self destroyed the spineless and he relized teh lies this big wrong thing he believe in, maybe religion .
(The religion that the 'older geanration or the big guy' is hiding behind)
ofc this relation depends on the differences the weak one with logic ...
the strong one with feelings ...

hyper music is like a reply to the old song "Dio - Don't talk to Strangers "
"Your Golden lies feed my role" could be a reference to America's manipulation of information to force the hand of the British Government.
"You wanted more than I was worth" Britain just to help the USA get oil
"You think I was scared, and you needed proof" Bullying the British Govt into doing the American govts dirty work perhaps?
"Who really cares anymore, who restrains," may be a reference to 1984, where people don't seem to care about what's happening to them and don't resist it, and could be linking that to the apathy about politics despite there's a lot of corruption going on.
Of course the "I don't want you, and I never did" could refer to anything, but it makes sense to be Bellamy saying he didn't want the "special relationship" and perhaps changing it to "I don't love you" could be a joke about it being a relationship.
Just my thoughts, awesome song.
Having been fed "golden lies" all their life, they now feel a sense of revelation in being free and can spit in God's face (essentially). They may even realise that they never really believed it all in the first place ("I don't love you, and I never did") and this song is the ultimate 'severing ties' song.
Also, after "Who remains?" and "Who restrains?", the segue to the chorus (sounds like ch. ch. ch. ch. ch. ch.) actually says "Just to spit it in your face!" So, one could interpret that as the release of all the unease and tension abotu rejecting religion over the years; now it is a joyful experience.
