I'm passionate about music and the social commentary that comes with it.
That being said, I'm curious if anyone else here thinks Muse brings life to the movement through their lyrics?
Muse - Uprising
Paranoia is in bloom,
The PR transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that we will never see the truth around
(so come on)
Another promise, another seed
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(so come on)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
(so come on)
Interchanging mind control
Come, let the revolution take its toll
If you could flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that we should never be afraid to die
(so come on)
Rise up and take the power back
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack
You know that their time's coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
(so come on)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
(so come on)
"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence: on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly-knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised."
[John F. Kennedy; April 27, 1961]
Dive into their discography. They are incredible.
In Greek mythology, Muse were the storytellers. Muse DEFINITELY tells some stories worth listening to. Fueling my fire over here
would be happy to give a short selection to get you started
Dig Down
Dead Inside
Starlight (was spiritually married to my husband during this song at their concert)
they have a song called MK ULTRA though. Matt Bellamy knows what's up.
