hipbones Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I don't think you've actually read any of her recent lyrics. Inorite? This song proves to me that Matt can still write something I can relate to almost as much as Showbiz, even if he does it in his more modern-era-Muse-clumsy way. This song hits pretty close to home for me, personally. I think what people fail to understand is that he just doesn't write lyrics as eloquently as he used to. The last good album that was lyrically strong in that sense was BHAR. We're past that stage. It doesn't mean that the content of the lyrics can't still be good. You talk sense. Get off the board.

LewisF Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The guitar chords reminded me of Children's Limbs by Biffy Clyro a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAurelia Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Like others have said, I'm pretty sure the point of this being the first song is because it's a transition from their sound from the last few years to something heavier. It's much more dark than their usual pop songs, so if anything I'd say it bodes well for the rest of the album. Agreed. Back to the roots...

OriginOfAbso Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Upon first listen I was disappointed just because I was kind of shocked that it wasn't a rock song. But I am loving this song. It's a great blend of styles, all done well imo. I love it more as it goes on, besides the 4 chord instrumental section. This definitely makes me feel more than anything off the last two albums. It has made me actually care about how the story with this character develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillyracer Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yeah, I quite like it now and I definitely like the solo. Just would be nice if there was something more going on in that bride then just those chords. Could've used a synth or something to beef it up.

alibros Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 got a 4 hour transit wait at Istanbul airport (terrible airport by the way). reading through these pages make the wait easier. Was listening to it on repeat on the plane and I have to admit it's starting to grow on me. although I still can't get over "the greatest guy"! maybe on the next flight ...

alibros Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 On another note I disputed warner's claim on my cover on youtube saying "you only own the mechanical rights to this record and the composition belongs to the Bend only, so get off my case and spend your time and money on something else that actually benefits you. " and guess what, it's back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The only slight cringe lyric for me is "unleash a million drones" But it's amazing. And people whinging about the last line need to realise he is comparing himself to her. He's just like her: on the outside she's the greatest girl, but she's dead inside.

Clunge Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yup, the whole song builds to those last two lines for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I thought that at first, but I've grown to like it The only slight cringe lyric for me is "unleash a million drones" That's probably my joint favourite line (mainly for that lush af falsetto harmony though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibros Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 That's probably my joint favourite line (mainly for that lush af falsetto harmony though) yeah I really like the harmonies and smoothness in "drones" alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodNeverPaid Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 yeah I really like the harmonies and smoothness in "drones" alone. Yeah, got to admit that's sung damn well. I really just hope this album is not just gonna auto-include its title into every song, though it seems likely thus far Also, roughly 19.5 % percent of the voters dislike the song. I think Musers really wanted something different from T2L this time around but were simply not prepared for the transition track... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topo_musero Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yup, the whole song builds to those last two lines for me. I'd say it builds to the "My lips feel warm to the touch" line. It's the most emotional part of the song. Because of the contrast with the first half of the song, you know that he's becoming a "drone".

yoyonco10 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 the "DEAD INSIDE!" part really does sound like backstreet boys though good job whoever pointed that out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alibros Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I really just hope this album is not just gonna auto-include its title into every song, though it seems likely thus far The only song that doesn't have the word "Drones" in it is "Drones". that was not a joke.
