Open the skies over me
I am waiting patiently
I'll wait for a sign
As conspiracy unwind
Will you slam shut or free your mind?
Or stay hypnotized

When the Zetas fill the skies
Will our leaders tell us why
Fully loaded satellites
Will conquer nothing but our minds

I'm waiting patiently
And I'll wait for the sign

Carried through the centuries
Secrets locked up
Are loaded on my back
And it weighs me down

When the Zetas fill the skies
It's just our leaders in disguise
Fully loaded satellites
Will conquer nothing but our minds

I'm waiting patiently
And I'll wait for the sign
I'm waiting patiently
And I'll wait for the sign

    Song Meaning:“Open the skies over me, I’m waiting patiently. I’ll wait for a sign.”
    --Denotes that we are AWAKE and aware of what our government is doing.
    “As conspiracies unwind will you slam shut or free your mind or stay hypnotized?”
    --Reference to the Great Shift that began 12/21/2012. There are three populations. Those whose agenda is dark, those who are ignorant and asleep (most of the population) and those who are awake and enlightened (light-workers). When conspiracies become more and more prevalent on a mass scale, are you going to turn a blind eye and scoff, will you open your mind and wake up, or will you remain hypnotized to the power heads of the world (government and a small amount of very specific families that control the entire world).
    “When the Zetas fill the skies will our leaders tell us why? Fully loaded satellites will conquer nothing but our minds.”
    --Zeta Reticuli are an alien race commonly referred to as “the grays.” Despite the previous commenter’s claim that they are Reptilian, this is untrue. The Chitauli/Chitauri are Reptilian and are negative ETs. They rule over another negative breed of ETs known as the Annunaki. The Annunaki and Chitauli are both shape-shifters and like to masquerade as the Grays (Zetas). True Zeta Reticuli are positive ETs. As far as our leaders telling us why? The Chitauli and the Annunaki work closely with the secret societies of the world, such as the Illuminati, the Knights Templar, the Dragon, etc.
    “Carried through the centuries, secret locked up are loaded on my back and it weighs me down.”
    --Just as it states. We have been in an age ruled by fear from those in power who thrive on greed. This song is a release and a way to let this information out to the public in a relatively safe manner, as Matt has obviously been enlightened to these happenings. When you are given this information, it is extremely overwhelming and there is an extreme sense of urgency to help facilitate awakenings in other humans. There is a war that expands far beyond just our planet.

    General Comment:Zetas are alien race - Reptilians. From Zeta Reticuli star system.

    And for the "Fully loaded satellites, will conquer nothing but our minds" - it's refereeing to Project Blue Beam - in which the USA government trough satellites will create holograms of alien invasion so that later they can form the New World Order.

    General Comment:Zeta is the 6th letter in the Greek alphabet which has a numerical value of 7 - and it is also where we get our English letter Z from. What I believe he is saying is that when the 7's fill our skies. Or if we refer to the letter Z of our alphabet - when the 7's (the end) fills the skies - will our leaders tell us why. We all know about the rapture and most people consider 777 nowadays to be the number of the "saved" people.

    In one part of the song Matt says "it's just our leaders in disguise" therefore still sticking to the fact that everything our government feeds us is a lie - including the things that seem to be confirmed by Revelation.

    It's a mystery ;]

    General Comment:This band is so political and given the feel of the rest of the album and their overall political views I have to take this song quite literaly. Here is my 2 cents.
    I had to research Zetas and found exactly what I expected, aliens {or mexican gangs).
    So according to many conspiracy theorists our government is way out of control and power hungry.
    Global Domination has been a conquest for man since man's existence so maybe not conspiracies.

    Anyway the whole album is an out cry against one world government.
    This song suggests that aliens will come, distract us. The truth however will be that these aliens are nothing more than world leaders posing as aliens to steal our minds, thus our freedom.

    Seems crazy but they already did it once with War of the Worlds. People went nuts.
    With the Technology we have now, I have no doubt that this is a possible scenario for a rising one world gov't.

    My Interpretation:This song,like most of MUSE is really deeply poltically based. The line "when the Zetas fill the skies" is referring to an old underground Russian military project involving he use of satelites to steal peoples information. This word basically fits the whole song together. "fully loaded satellites". "will our leaders tell us why". "just our leaders in disguise". Is all referon to The Zetas program. Describing how unsure people felt. The satellites fill the skies, and follow them everywhere. The satellites are really just their leAders in disguise to follow them. MUSE is very political. Even some of their cover art is. Like there's a Resistance one with an arm with a bar code. This represents how the government doesn't really care. Were just a sociAl security number, used wig our credit cards and phones and everything to track us down and own us like cattle. Basically this son is just focusing on one specific government conspiracy.

    General Comment:This song is about an alien race, controlling all our leaders to keep us in controll.
    Will our leaders tell us why?
    Propaganda en censure used to controll us.
    this is a real conspiracy theory, which would explain the sentence as conspiracys unwind
    exo-politcs means our politics are controlled from space. zetas refers to the alien spacecraft, i gueass.
    Just a view i heard from a friend

    General Comment:This is a song about when aliens come to earth. Someone said the Zetas are a folk-lore alien race, but you are wrong. They are in fact a race of aliens... not folk lore though. Muse is asking if the government will say anything to us when it happens because our government has "exo-politics" with the zetas. They know what will eventually happen. Muse is singing "im waiting patiently". These are smart people singing. They know exactly what their talking about. As do I, and I am also waiting patiently for the Zetas to fill our skies and will most definitely take over our minds. There are telepathic. :)

    My Opinion:Anyone else think this song has a lot of musical similarity to "Like A Stone" by Audioslave? It sort of sounds like a sped-up version of it. Check out the part where he sings "I'm waiting patiently
    And I'll wait for the sign" and compare it to when Chris Cornell sings "I'll wait for you there, like a stone". Even the lyrics are similar, but the music is eerily similar.

    General Comment:Well,

    We are all mind slaves, dont you know? These boys are maybe... errm.. just cleverly deceiving us, for personal gain, a personal power while they are on the earth as self aware animals. Using the same tools as our leaders, passing it on to their spawn so they can be greater in future generations Harvesting from the blind so their gene pool can thrive in future fields. We will buy the records, fill there pockets. Is it any different????

    This is my favoutite song of the Muse, and they are my favourite band - never has music caught my imagination.
