Stewez26 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Wow, this thread has made me realize how mediocre most of the lyrics really are.Old post, but hell yeh. I always find that too. They really don't even have a lyric that you can write out without it looking mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riveon Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 They have their dodgy lyrics (like plenty of bands I know), but they have plenty of great lyrics too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farelial Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I just love their lyrics Cross-Pollination, Sunburn, Space Dementia, CE, Micro Cuts, FAWY, Blacout,B&H, The Small Print, Take A Bow, Unnatural Selection etc. Not always whole lyrics, but there are parts, that make me smile, or amaze me.

drawakangaroo Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 For me, I don't really notice lyrics unless they're really good or really bad. Muse falls under neither of those categories, most of the time. I love the lyrics at the end of Hoodoo, and "when we bleed, we bleed the same" makes me happy. And there are some that make me shudder (Escape... where do I begin with that one.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philistine Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I'll give my top 5; 1) Sing for Absolution (if there is one set of muse lyrics I think I 'get', it's these - so, needless to say, I have really don't have any idea..) 2) Hoodoo & Blackout (bit of a cop-out, but I don't want to say one is better than the other..) 3) Ruled by Secrecy 4) Explorers 5) Butterflies and Hurricanes biggest wtf: new born (I love the song....but when I isolate the lyrics,..it's kinda ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altbecky Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I actually like that one a lot, but because it seems like a (albeit indirect) lift from Ender's Game. I was re reading it this past summer, and it jumped out at me and I was like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DramaQueen. Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Invincible completly. It has the best lyrics I've ever heard. I remember when I discovered this song I cried a little And when I feel awful it cheers me up... It means a lot to me, I even want to get tattoed this part "and whatever they say, your soul's unbreakable". It's perfect, there's no other way to describe it, just... Beautiful in its more pure way:'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Fury and/or Hoodoo hands down. Matt's lyrics are usually decent at best but those two songs are as close as he's gotten to really writing great lyrics imo. The early version of Exo-Politics had some pretty good lyrics too.

Gotta agree with this. I also think that Thoughts of A Dying Atheist had some good lyrics. Overeall his best lyrics are from 2002-2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangeseas Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 People might disagree, but I seriously think Survival's lyrics are a flash of genius. (Simple, but meaningful.) I'm gonna win. That line is so deeply sarcastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopix Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 "Don't waste your time, or time will waste you" is a classic. So simple and yet, in my opinion, genius. Hoodoo still has the best lyrics, probably with Exogenesis coming in second. Unsustainable and IS are pretty awesome though if you count the news reporter obvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
