Because it's new and you haven't gotten used to it yet.

 

Nah, it feels as awkward as the NSC lyrics and I'm still not used to that.

 

I always felt like since The Resistance the lyrics had a different kind of cheese going on and this just feels like the extent of that.

 

Why? No idea, it just feels that way.

However silly the lyrics are, though, I love, love, LOVE Matt's voice at the beginning. I would listen to him sing me my toaster's instruction manual in that voice. All night long.

 

I really don't like Matt's voice/vocals on this song, sounds contrived and somehow forced to me.

Yet this feels different.

 

Do you like Knights of Cydonia?

 

"Don't waste your time Or time will waste you"

 

The worst lyrics ever. Not even within Muse. All bands. 'You a stupid hoe' is better than that. Still a great song though.

 

That's what he said.

 

I'm sure you have.

Thank you! People who think that's a clever line seriously make me doubt that the human race has a good future to look forward to.

The song was more than enough to make up for it.

 

Best, (Race)

You got to be the best. (Life's a race)

 

The lyrics are interchangeable with Survival's.

 

I like that Survival doesn't follow the standard 'intro - verse - verse - chorus - verse - chorus - solo - chorus' that many (many many) Muse songs follow.

Death,

you bring death

 

Take,

take all you need

 

Matt really likes singling out words.

this. Made it so exciting to hear for the first time. I didn't even realise the lyrics were a complete repeat as the rest of the music kept changing so drasticaly

It's not as terrible as when I heard it, but even if I ignore the lyrics I still find B&H better in every way.

Except maybe the heavy riff. But that's more of a back and forth opinion.

 

Hopefully seeing it live will boost your opinion of it :happy:

Boost perhaps. But B&H remains my favorite Muse song (at least instrumentally) so that's an opinion that'll be hard to change.

 

It's my 2nd fav, but I wasn't talking about a comparison between the two, just about your opinion of Survival.
