Muse - The 2nd Law Album Lyrics

Supremacy

Wake to see
Your true emancipation is a fantasy
Policies
Have risen up and overcome the brave

Greatness dies
Unsung and lost, invisible to history
Embedded spies
Brainwashing our children to be mean

You don't have long
I am on to you
The time, it has come to destroy

Your supremacy
Supremacy

You don't have long
I am on to you
The time, it has come to destroy

Your supremacy
Supremacy

Madness

(Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma...)

I, I can't get these memories out of my mind,
And some kind of madness has started to evolve.
(Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma...)
I, I tried so hard to let you go,
But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah
(Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma...)

I have finally seen the light,
And I have finally realized
What you mean.

Ooh oh oh

And now I need to know is this real love,
Or is it just madness keeping us afloat?
(Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma...)
And when I look back at all the crazy fights we had,
Like some kind of madness was taking control, yeah
(Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma...)

And now I have finally seen the light,
And I have finally realized
What you need.

Mmmm...

(Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma...)

And now I have finally seen the end (finally seen the end)
And I'm not expecting you to care (expecting you to care)
But I have finally seen the light (finally seen the light)
I have finally realized (realized)
I need to love
I need to love

Come to me
Just in a dream.
Come on and rescue me.
Yes I know, I can be wrong,
Maybe I'm too headstrong.
Our love is
(Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma...)
Madness

Panic Station

You won't get much closer
Until you sacrifice it all
You won't get to taste it
With your face against the wall

Get up and commit
Show the power trapped within
Do just what you want to
Now stand up and begin

Ooh, 1, 2, 3, 4 fire's in your eyes
And this chaos, it defies imagination
Ooh, 5, 6, 7, 8, minus 9 lives
You've arrived at panic station

Doubts will try to break you
Unleash your heart and soul
Trouble will surround you
Start taking some control

Stand up and deliver
Your wildest fantasy
Do what the f*ck you want to
There's no one to appease

Ooh, 1, 2, 3, 4 fire's in your eyes
And this chaos, it defies imagination
Ooh, 5, 6, 7, 8, minus 9 lives
You've arrived at panic station

Ooh, 1, 2, 3, 4 fire's in your eyes
And this chaos, it defies imagination
Ooh, 5, 6, 7, 8, minus 9 lives
And I know that you will fight for the duration
Ooh, 1, 2, 3, 4 fire's in your eyes
And you know I'm not resisting your temptations
Ooh, 5, 6, 7, 8, minus 9 lives
You've arrived at panic station

Survival

Race, life's a race
And I am gonna win
Yes, I am gonna win

And I'll light the fuse
And I'll never lose
And I choose to survive
Whatever it takes

You won't pull ahead
I'll keep up the pace
And I'll reveal my strength
To the whole human race

Yes I am prepared
To stay alive
And I won't forgive,
Vengeance is mine
And I won't give in
Because I choose to thrive

Yeah, I'm gonna win!

[guitar solo]

Race, it's a race
And I'm gonna win
Yes, I'm gonna win

And I will light the fuse
I'll never lose
And I choose to survive
Whatever it takes

You won't pull ahead
'Cause I'll keep up the pace
And I'll reveal my strength
To the whole human race

Yes I'm gonna win

[guitar solo]

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Win! Win! Win! Win!

Yes I'm gonna win!

Follow Me

When darkness falls
And surrounds you
When you fall down
When you're scared
And you're lost
Be brave
I'm coming to hold you now
When all your strength has gone
And you feel wrong
Like your life has slipped away

Follow me
You can follow me
And I will not desert you now
When your fire's died out
No one's there
They have left you for dead

Follow me
You can follow me
I will keep you safe
Follow me
You can follow me
I will protect you

I won't let them hurt
They're hurting you, no
Ooh yeah
When your heart is breaking

You can follow me
You can follow me
I will always keep you safe
Follow me
You can trust in me
I will always protect you, my love

Feel my love
Feel my love

Animals

Animal
You're an animal
Don't take anything less

Out of control
You're out of control
Strike those in distress

Analyse
Advertise
Expand
Bend more rules
Buy yourself an island

Animals
We're animals
Buy when blood is on the street

Out of control
We're out of control
Crush those who beg at your feet

Analyse
Franchise
Spread out
Kill the competition
And buy yourself an ocean

Amortise
Downsize
Lay off
Kill yourself
Come on and do us all a favour

Explorers

Once I hoped
To seek the new and unknown
This planet's overrun
There's nothing left for you or for me
Don't give in, we can
Walk through the fields
And feeling nature's glow
But all the land is owned
There's none left for you or for me

Who will win?
'Cause I concede

Free me
Free me
Free me from this world
I don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning my soul
Can you free me
Free me from this world

A world lush in bloom
With rivers running wild
They'll be re-routed South
With none left for you or for me
Don't give in
Hear the engines roar
And save our crops from drought
But when the black gold's in doubt
There's none left for you or for me

Fuse helium-3
Our last hope

Free me
Free me
Free me from this world
We don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning our souls
Can you free me
Free me from this world

Free me
I'll free you
Free us from this world
We don't belong here
It was a mistake imprisoning our souls
Can you free me
Free me from this world

Running around in circles feeling caged
By endless rules
Can you free me, free me from this world

Go to sleep

Big Freeze

Healed
Or are you still just reeling?
Are you fine
Have you found a way to escape?
Are you here
Just because I need you?
Can we hole up?
A big freeze is heading our way

We are on a hiding to nowhere
We still hope
But our dreams are not the same
And I, I lost before I started
I'm collapsing in stellar clouds of gas

Hear me
What words just can't convey
Feel me
Don't let the sun in your heart decay

Fight
Or will you show me mercy?
We expelled
The goodness from our hearts
Are you here
Just to prove your winning?
Can we hole up
And ride out this electrical storm?

We destroyed something beautiful
We have faith
But our truths are not the same,
Don't give up
Don't let the magic leave us
Stop the loneliest force becoming king of the universe

Hear me
What words just can't convey
Feel me
Don't you let the sun in your heart decay

Don't give up
Don't let the magic leave us
We're collapsing in stellar clouds of gas

Hear me
What words just can't convey
Feel me
I won't let the sun in your heart decay

Save Me

Save me from my superstitions
Now I'm free, from this old condition
Wait just a while, and I'll greet
You with a smile

Hold me 'cause I'm sure I'm hated
Promises, they are overrated
Wait just a while, while I'm
Drowning in denial

Turn me into someone like you
Find a place that we can go to
Run away and take me with you
Don't let go I need your rescue

Watch me 'cause I'm on a mission
Hold me back, so I'm forced to listen
Don't let me go 'cause I'm nothing
Without you

Turn me into someone like you
Find a place that we can go to
Run away and take me with you
Don't let go I need your rescue

Turn me into someone like you
Find a place that we can go to
Run away and take me with you
Don't let go I need your rescue

Liquid State

Take me for a ride
Break me up and steal what's left inside
And hope and pray iniquity
Has died inside and left a scar

I'm on red alert
Bring me peace and wash away my dirt
Spin me round and help
Me to divert and walk into the light

Warm my heart tonight
And hold my head up high
And help me to survive

Kick me when I'm down
Feed me poison, fill me till I drown
Wake me up before I get
Pushed out and fall into the night

Warm my heart tonight
(force me to lose control)
And hold my head up high
(watch as I lose my soul)
And help me to survive
(push me until I fall)

The 2nd Law: Unsustainable

All natural and technological
Processes proceed in such
a way that the availability of the
remaining energy decreases

In all energy exchanges, if no energy
enters or leaves an isolated system
the entropy of that system increases

Energy continuously flows from being
concentrated to becoming dispersed
spread out, wasted and useless

New energy cannot be
created and high-grade
energy is being destroyed

An economy based on endless
growth is unsustainable

Unsu...
Unsustainable

The fundamental laws of
thermodynamics will place fixed
limits on technological innovation
and human advancement

In an isolated system, the entropy
can only increase
A species set on endless
growth is unsustainable

Unsu...
Unsustainable
