Ignorance pulls
Apostasy and apathy still rules
Yeah you know it's cool
Come wait and see
A future turns us into silent gods
And I won't miss you at all

Grounded
Boxed in
Like the evil in your head
Grounded
Boxed in
I am stuck with you

Fate can't decide
Alignment of the planets in your hands
Come on and crush our plans
Just wait and see
A future that won't let you disagree
And I won't miss you at all

Grounded
Boxed in
Like the evil in your head
Grounded
Boxed in
I am stuck with you

Feeling feeling everything
Feeling feeling everything

    General Comment:These lyrics are incorrect.

    Come wait and see = Just suck and see
    Like the evil in your head = Like the evil in your veins
    Just wait and see = Just suck and see (again, come on, that's the clearest lyric in the song!)
    Feeling feeling everything = Feel it, hear it, apathy
    Feeling feeling everything = See it, be it, you'll see

    Those are taken from Musewiki, and I believe them to be pretty accurate.

    General Comment:I think this songs speaks about someone setting goals for the future that could well and truly be evil something big, and the person really doesn't feel it's right and sees these gaols are like taking over.

    "Grounded
    Boxed in "

    So they're so caught up into these thoughts and ambitions and want it so bad and it lures them that they cant give up on it

    "Just wait and see
    A future that won't let you disagree "

    Weird.. and i know someone just like that :S

    General Comment:One of Muses least heard of songs, yet one of their best.

    Its about how in the future, everything will be controlled by technology and we will become the victims of our own creations.

    Type 'Muse Futurism' into youtube... this guys made a video for it and its pretty good.

    General Comment:Awesome bassline.
    I think it's about how we're playing God now (cloning and all) and how technology will overpower us and eventually control us in the future. And how we'll be humanized.
    We might not be controlled by technology literally but we're becoming more and more dependent on it, aren't we? :P

    And it's "like the evil in your VEINS."

    General Comment:i don't know but Muse is always a must see when they come to town!

    This song is about not knowing how you are going to be as a person later in life.

    General Comment:hahaha caliboo, it's actually ridiculous how much of a dystopianist mr Bellamy is. I just commented on Micro Cuts, saying that it evoked images of this dystopian future of totalitarian government. :D

    ...yeah. The intro is the proverbial shit. The little Franz Ferdinand four-on-the-floor bit before the proper beat kicks in is made of awesome.

    General Comment:Is it just me, or does this song heavily conjure up images of robots working on an assembly line?
