This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
When these pillars get pulled down,
It will be you who wears a crown,
And I'll owe everything to you
How much pain has cracked your soul?
How much love would make you whole?
You're my guiding lightning strike
I can't find the words to say,
But they're overdue,
I've traveled half the world to say,
I belong to you
Then she attacks me like a Leo,
When my heart is split like Rio,
But, I assure you my debts are real
I can't find the words to say,
When I'm confused,
I've traveled half the world to say,
You are my muse
(Ah! Reponds ma tendresse,
Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse,
Reponds ma tendresse,
Reponds ma tendresse,
Ah! Verse-moi l'ivresse,
Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse,
Reponds ma tendresse,
Reponds ma tendresse,
Ah! Verse-moi l'ivresse,
I belong,
I belong to you alone)
Muse,
I can't find the words to say,
But they're overdue,
I've traveled half the world to say,
I belong to you
It will be you who wears a crown,
And I'll owe everything to you
How much pain has cracked your soul?
How much love would make you whole?
You're my guiding lightning strike
I can't find the words to say,
But they're overdue,
I've traveled half the world to say,
I belong to you
Then she attacks me like a Leo,
When my heart is split like Rio,
But, I assure you my debts are real
I can't find the words to say,
When I'm confused,
I've traveled half the world to say,
You are my muse
(Ah! Reponds ma tendresse,
Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse,
Reponds ma tendresse,
Reponds ma tendresse,
Ah! Verse-moi l'ivresse,
Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse,
Reponds ma tendresse,
Reponds ma tendresse,
Ah! Verse-moi l'ivresse,
I belong,
I belong to you alone)
Muse,
I can't find the words to say,
But they're overdue,
I've traveled half the world to say,
I belong to you

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
This is actually my favorite song on The Resistance album. I think it's sexy and the most beautiful song and extremely romantic. I also think I've made the connection between this album and the whole 1984 theme Matt was inspired by. The french "bridge" for lack of a better word is from the Samson et Delila opera made famous by Maria Callas. The french lines are backwards in the lyrics posted above. It should be "Ah, reponds a ma tendresse...Versez moi, versez moi livresse" (forgive any spelling errors) But although he says these lines several times...this is the order of how it's said first as well as in the opera. It means "Respond to my tenderness...pour out to me the drunkeness" The similarity between the Samson and Delila story from the bible as well as the 1984 characters of Winston Smith and his Julia is that the men fell so in love with these women...and although each loved them back...they both ultimately betrayed them for power, glory & fear of authority figures, etc. I think the song conveys that complete surrender to the ones they love. They may know that they are doomed by this love or possible betrayal...but it doesn't matter, they are powerless against it.They love completely with their whole being. I suppose it could be also represent how we can be seduced by our government and promises they make...but I prefer to think of it on the romantic level.
Very true, I think the song meshes well into the whole album because if you do not love, you are not human.
[Mon Cœur S'ouvre à Ta Voix] (My heart opens itself to your voice) Ah! Réponds, (Ah! Respond,) Réponds à ma tendresse (Respond to my tenderness) Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse! (Pour out to me, pour out to me the euphoria!) Réponds à ma tendresse! (Respond to my tenderness!) Réponds à ma tendresse! (Respond to my tenderness!) Ah! Verse-moi l'ivresse! (Ah! Pour out to me the euphoria!)
Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse! (Pour out to me, pour out to me the euphoria!) Réponds à ma tendresse! (Respond to my tenderness!) Réponds à ma tendresse! (Respond to my tenderness!) Ah! Verse-moi l'ivresse! (Ah! Pour out to me the euphoria!)
There is what the French translation for the song is
I think it's a good track because it's not typical Muse. And it doesn't have those epic highs and lows. It think it gives Matt a chance to show off his vocal ability. Which is a direct reference to his french lyrics. Also it's a good transition between the first half of the album to Exogenesis which, goes without saying, is absolutely brilliant.
also ...after the french section...he actually sings "I belong to you....alone"
I love your explanation, I have been wondering I also love this track and the love the whole feel of the album thank you
Meh, I love Muse, but these are some very elementary forced lyrics.
Agreed. It makes me sick that they created such a beatiful melody and wasted it on such shifty lyrics. The Leo/rio stanza is embarrassing to even listen to. WTF is up with that shit? I think the stanza could have only been saved if he had sung "and I'm hungry like the wolf" after the ear bleeding Rio line.<br /> <br /> Otherwise, great melodies, harmonies, and instrumentation.
LOL @ Duran Duran.<br /> <br /> Well, it did feature in Twilight which has Girls on Film...
This is in fact a great track. Yes, its probably their "pop"-iest track in awhile, but its still great music. Elementary lyrics not in the least. You don't drop French in what you consider "elementary" lyrics.
Just give the record another spin and let Muse raise your hair yet again.
Poppiest track in awhile? I think your mistaken, the last album contained SMBH.
Touché!
Even though it doesn't sound like everything Muse had done previously, I think it's great! It's very different from what we were used to, but it's got something special that makes me love it... About the meaning... self explanatory... I really like UNsweeT's comments, very interesting! and I also think that this song is about Matt's relationship... 'cause it says "I'd travel half the world to say..." and he's got an Italian girlfriend... and the "And she attacks me like a Leo" part, since she's a leo lol
I have to recall that Matt is saying he belongs to his band MUSE. I believe so because if you listen closely before the french verse he says "You are my Mu-" and after the verse he says "Use" -clarinette solo-. Thats my supporting opinion on how he expresses himself for his band :P
very interesting view...
Hmm... could be. But in my opinion he's not refering to the band. Muse means something like inspiration. And with what people have said before about his girlfriend etc I think he's calling her (or whoever/whatever this song is about) his inspiration for writing music. Just my opinion.
"Overdue," "Guiding Light-ning," and "Muse" stuck out when sung. Self-references? That may support what TheKnewl says about the meanings, but the rest of the lyrics don't seem to support that interpretations.
Love the song regardless. The French caught me by complete surprise, hah. It's a good buffer between Unnatural Selection + MK Ultra and Exogenesis. There needed to be something to slow down the epic amounts of energy to set the stage for Part 1.
I love this song- when I first listened to the album, it really stood out for me. It's not a... typical... sort of Muse song. I liked it, I really did, it's in a different sort of direction to the stuff they've done before, but then that's what they're all about, I suppose. Typical's not in their nature. :)
