NewBornBenny Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I read on Muse Wiki ages ago about the meaning behind it as spoken by Mr. Bellamy and it's always fascinated me. Ever since I read it I've always had this mental imagine of whats happened when I listen to the song which personally I think should be turned into a book or something. But anyway, I wondered where Matt explained the meaning. I'd love to see the interview or something, can anyone help? He says "It's about this man who's come back from work and he's just shot everyone and killed everyone, and he's come back to his wife with a load of blood all over his hands going 'I've just blown it ... I lost it ... I lost the plot.' "The reason being because its slowly dawning on him that everything he is doing is out of his power." and the page link is here: http://musewiki.com/Ruled_by_Secrecy_(song) Thanks!

yoman297 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 The page also states that it could be about the book Rule by Secrecy, if that answers your question about the book. I think I skipped this song too much, too. Sounds like a great song... and a great story. I have no clue about where he said that, as there is no source on the page :L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was annoyed about the lack of a source too, just hope someone else can source it! One of my favourite muse songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Changed the title so this can become a general RBS discussion thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gohenko Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 /bump One of my favourite Muse tracks. I'm playing this on piano (and possibly sing it too) at our school's musical next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipso Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I've just learned to play the solo, I'm trying to learn the verse as well. It works especially well with a particular voice on my keyboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatsername Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 This song is probably my favorite off Absolution, although I never liked it that much when I first heard the album. Absolution was one of the first Muse albums I bought and I had to get used to them incorporating piano and strings into their songs (I was more used to pure guitar riffs and solos). Beautiful music with haunting lyrics, what's not to love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova14 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I've always loved the lyrics and style of this song. I've been playing it on piano for almost a year, and I love how your fingers just flow in both hands when you play it smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipso Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Got the solo and verse down to a tee, now for the chorus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuseHolic111 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I play Ruled by Secrecy on the piano quite ofte, because it just love the flowing and peaceful feeling I get from playing it I also love Matt's strong vocals in the last chorus and of course the lyrics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
