Repress and restrain
Still the pressure and the pain
Wash the blood off your hands
This time she won't understand
Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one knows who's in control
You're working so hard
And you're never in charge
Your death creates success
And you'll build and suppress
Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one knows who's in control
Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one knows who's in control
Still the pressure and the pain
Wash the blood off your hands
This time she won't understand
Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one knows who's in control
You're working so hard
And you're never in charge
Your death creates success
And you'll build and suppress
Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one knows who's in control
Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one knows who's in control

She won't understand, so he has to repress and restrain those feelings all the time.
But he loves her so much, that this secrecy of his secret rules his entire life.
Matthew Bellamy: "It's about this man who's come back from work and he's just shot everyone and killed everyone, and he's come back to his wife with a load of blood all over his hands going 'I've just blown it ... I lost it ... I lost the plot.'
"The reason being because its slowly dawning on him that everything he is doing is out of his power."

This song is a work of art. One of the best songs of all time.

Hope this is helpful:)
So he went into a rage and killed all the people who he thought had been lying to him, and telling him he could be someone, and make a difference.
He feels he now has no purpose in life, everything he thought he had (power) had never even existed.
You can understand how that would tear someone apart.
(I am only 14, so sorry if this is all wrong)
But I also think it's about how, with the government, the one who's supposed to be in charge (president, prime minister, king, etc) is actually just a pawn in someone else's hands.
