heyjackk Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The new recording actually proves that he's saying "Killed by drones" lol. Talk about terrible enunciation the last couple times, or just a bad live mix. told u guys he was saying drones not control I'm so hyped for a studio version of this song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Idk how any of you guys are in denial about the outro being part of the song. It's got Chris yelling "drones" or "control" or both over it with vocoder. It's not a random riff. I think I was just trying to stop myself from getting my hopes up too much to avoid the possibility of being really disappointed. I've been pretty confident it'd be on the album for a while now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtsyChick Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 The barrier at iHeart was moved to 3 feet from the stage, and still, Matt's fingers were just a blur. It's stunning to watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Heat Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Never been this addicted to a Muse song since i first heard Hysteria. Hope the album version doesn't disappoint, i can see this being my favourite Drones track already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 first chorus definitely killed by mind control, doesn't sound like it ends with radicalised now either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 first chorus definitely killed by mind control, doesn't sound like it ends with radicalised now either Definitely sings radicalised at 2.37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Definitely sings radicalised at 2.37 yeah second chorus is definitely " now i am radicalised," first chorus sounds like it ends with something like "all you've got is ..." ? edit: kinda sounds like "all you've got is criminals" but i really can't be sure on that last word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) From what we've seen/heard, it looks like there's two variants of the chorus: Lies and deceit And the world is/Bodies on the shore We've got the sea/We've got to see or some shit All you've got is... and Mind control/whatever roll And the world is/Bodies on the shore Reapers and horsemen Now I am radicalised The order seems like it goes 1, 2, then 1&2 at the end but sometimes they fuck it up and get them the wrong way round so it's hard to tell definitively. Probably stating the obvious here but thought I'd make it clear just in case anyone was confused. Edited May 12, 2015 by Jobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Good stuff. There's the whole "blood is/bodies on the shore" business as well Yeah, true. I think that's one of those lines that seems to swap places so I wasn't sure which chorus to put it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 There are a good number of videos where you could read Matt's labial, though (I'm referring to the Psycho Tour videos). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was really desperate to find out the lyrics, I tried reading his lips. Quickly gave up though 'cause I'm really shit at it If anyone else reckons they can do it though, feel free to give it a bash. Side note - this song is crazy fun to play. Probably the most fun Muse song for guitar so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrebleRose689 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The barrier at iHeart was moved to 3 feet from the stage, and still, Matt's fingers were just a blur. It's stunning to watch! Hey, I know you Yes, Reapers at iHeartRadio was a huge highlight of that gig! Something about the energy of that song was perfect for that teeny tiny venue! I am so excited to hear a studio version of this song, and finally learn what the true lyrics are! From what I've been able to make out, I like the lyrics to this one a lot!

Soul_Flux Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) I spent all day trying to crack this: The UK gigs had the 'we will rise in the sea' type stuff but now that line doesn't seem to make an appearance in the recent New York gigs - replaced by 'kill by remote control / mind control'. It may have also been 'bodies on the shore' at one time, but again now replaced by 'War is all a show'. (that's what I'm hearing anyway, and makes perfect sense to me.) I'm 99% confident these are the correct lyrics based on Webster Hall/iheart recordings. I wonder why the different versions at the New York gigs compared to the UK ones. Just Matt experimenting while he can? He did seem to be constantly switching the order of lines at each UK gig (which did my head in before deciding to just focus on the recent recordings). Anyway... Home, it's becoming a killing field There's a cross hair locked on my heart With no recourse And there's no one behind the wheel Hellfire You're wiping me out Killed by! Kill by remote control War is all a show You gotta see I am open I acknowledge to launch War, war just moved up a gear I don't think I can handle the truth I'm just a pawn And we're all expendable Incidentally Electronically erased Killed by! ( might sometimes be wiped out! ) Kill by mind control Warriors of a show (could be 'war is all a show' again) Become reapers and horsemen Now I am radicalised (awesome solo then repeat chorus 1 and 2) Kill by remote control War is all a show You gotta see I am open I acknowledge to launch Kill by mind control Warriors of a show Become reapers and horsemen Now I am radical love (could still be 'radicalised' but he just cuts off the 'ised') + Chris's sexy bit in the background? = Do you really know how to take a life?

More likely he just fucks up and gets the lines mixed up sometimes. Also, footage from the Webster Hall gig shows that one of the lines is definitely 'And the world is [something]', not anything about warriors. Edit: Chris sings the 'lies and deceit' line in the first chorus at WH while Matt sings 'mind control'. Probably more proof that they still get the lyrics mixed up.

Old Man Pigeon Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 From watching the pro shot of this from KROQ weenie roast...the vocoder bit that Morgan says in the chorus appears to be "killed by". Not sure if this has been mentioned yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit cheesy, I'm worried that it will sound gash on the studio version I don't think it'll be too prominent in the mix myself, what I'm more worried about actually is how the chorus sounds in the song on record. I'm afraid of it sounding flimsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
