           new born

link it to the world
link it to yourself
stretch it like a birth squeeze
the love for what you hide
the bitterness inside
is growing like the new born

when you've seen, seen
too much, too young, young
soulless is everywhere

hopeless time to roam
the distance to your home
fades away to nowhere
how much are you worth
you can't come down to earth
you're swelling up, you're unstoppable

'cause you've seen, seen
too much, too young, young
soulless is everywhere

destroy the spineless
show me it's real
wasting our last chance
to come away
just break the silence
'cause I’m drifting away
away from you

link it to the world
link it to yourself
stretch it like it's a birth squeeze
and the love for what you hide
and the bitterness inside
is growing like the new born

when you've seen, seen
too much, too young, young
soulless is everywhere

destroy the spineless
show me it's real
wasting their last chance
to come away
just break the silence
‘cause I'm drifting away
away from you

           bliss

everything about you is how I'd wanna be
your freedom comes naturally
everything about you resonates hapiness
now I won't settle for less

give me all the peace and joy in your mind

everything you pains my envying
your soul can't hate anything
everything about you is so easy to love
they're watching you from above

give me all the peace and joy in your mind
i want the peace and joy in your mind
give me the peace and joy in your mind

everything about you resonates hapiness
now I won't settle for less

give me all the peace and joy in your mind
I want the peace and joy in your mind
give
me the peace and joy in your mind

           space dementia

H-Eight is the one for me
it gives me all I need
and helps me co-excist with the chill

you make me sick because I adore you so
I love all the dirty tricks
and twisted games you play on me

space dementia in your eyes
peace will arise and tear us apart
and make us meaningless again

you'll make us want to die
I'd cut your name in my heart
we'll destroy this world for you
I know you want me to feel your pain

space dementia in your eyes
peace will arise and tear us apart
and make us meaningless again

note:
when printing the album, the first word was mistakingly printed as "Height". the the first word of the song is in fact H-Eight, or H-8, which according to matt, stands for a certain part of the brain.

           hyper music

your golden skies feed my role
in this forgotten space race under my control
who's returned from the dead?
who remains

you know I don't want you and I never did
I don't want you and I never will

you wanted for more than I was worth
and you think I was scared
and you needed proof
who really cares anymore?
who restrains

you know I don't love you and I never did
I don't want you and I never will

           plug in baby

I've exposed your lies, baby
the underneath is no big surprise
now it's time for changing
and cleansing everything
to forget your love

my plug in baby
crucifies my enemies
when I'm tired of giving
my plug in baby
in unbroken virgin realities
I'm tired of living

don't confuse
baby you're gonna loose
your own game
change me
and replace the envying
to forget your love

my plug in baby
crucifies my enemies
when I'm tired of giving
my plug in baby
in unbroken virgin realities
I'm tired of living

and I've seen your loving,
and mine is gone,
and I've been in trouble

note: muse have been playing plug in baby live since the end of 2000. since then, the song has had MANY different lyrics and the chorus was actually:

my plug in baby
crucifies my enemies
when I'm tired of giving
god is in me
in unbroken virgin realities
I'm tired of living

an old version of the song can be heard in the audio / visual section of this site.

           citizen erased

break me in, teach us to cheat
and to lie, cover up
what shouldn't be shared
all the truth's unwinding 
scraping away at my mind
please stop asking me to describe

for one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
with no feelings at all
open minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

self expressed, exhausting for all
to see and to be
what you want and what you need
the truth’s unwinding
scraping away at my mind
please stop asking me to describe

for one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
with no feelings at all
open minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

for one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
with no feelings at all
open minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

wash me away
clean your body of me
erase all the memories
they will only bring us pain 
and I've seen,
all I'll ever need

           micro-cuts

hands are red with your blame
megaphone screaming my name
whimpers someone I should've loved
souls weeping above

I've seen what you're doing to me
destroying puppet strings
to our souls

micro waves me insane
a blane cuts in your brain
sounds like forks on a plate
blackboard scratched with hate

I've seen what you're doing to me
destroying puppet strings
to our souls

           screenager

who's so phoney and always surrounded
stop your screaming, no-one can hear
all the scars on your skin, post no bills

who you were
was so beautiful
remember who... who you where

hide from the mirror, the cracks and the memories
hide from your family, they won't know you now
for all the holes in our soul host no thrills

who you were
was so beautiful
memories who... who you where

           dark shines

passing by you light up my darkest skies
you'll take only seconds to draw me in
so be mine and your innocence I will consume

dark shines
bringing me down
making my heart feel sore
because it's good

hold your hands up to your eyes again
hide from the scary scenes, supress your fears
so be mine and your innocence I will consume

dark shines
bringing me down
making my heart feel sore
because it's good
your dark shines
bringing me down
making my heart feel sore
because it's good

           feeling good

birds flying high you know how I feel
sun in the sky you know how I feel
reeds driftin' on by you know how I feel

it's a new dawn
it's a new day
it's a new life
for me
and I'm feeling good

fish in the sea you know how I feel
river running free you know how I feel
blossom in the tree you know how I feel

it's a new dawn
it's a new day
it's a new life
for me
and I'm feeling good

dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
sleep in peace when day is done
that's what I mean

and this old world is a new world
and a bold world
for me

stars when you shine you know how I feel
scent of the pine you know how I feel
freedom is mine
and I know how I feel

           megalomania

paradise comes at a price
that I am not prepared to pay
what were we built for?
could someone tell me please

the good news is, she can't have babies
and wont accept gifts from me
what are they for?
they'll just grow up, and break the laws you've loved

take off your disguise
I know that underneath it's me

useless device, it wont suffice
I want a new game to play
when I am gone
it wont be long, before I disturb you in the dark

paradise comes at a price
that I am not prepared to pay
what were we built for?
will someone tell me please

take off your disguise
I know that underneath it's me

           futurism

ignorance pulls
apostasy and apathy still rules
yeah you know it's cool
just suck and see
a future turn us into silent Gods
and I won't  miss you at all

grounded
boxed in
like the evil in your viens
grounded
boxed in
I am stuck with you

fate can't decide
alignment of the planets in your hands
come on and crush our plans
just suck and see
a future that won't let you disagree
and I wont miss you at all

grounded
boxed in
like the evil in your viens
grounded
boxed in

feeling
feeling everything
feeling
feeling everything

note: this song can only be found on the
Japanese version of "Origin Of Symmetry".
