Spiral Static
Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How much to moan and groan
And quiver inside?
He needs to give you
Everything you need.
Is it enough?
You're running out of time
As it grows in your eye
Feel broken inside, you feel
Sigh, static moans
A storm growing strong
And it's coming my way.
Still she gives you
Everything you need.
Is it enough?
You're running out of time
As it grows in your eye
You'll feel
Broken inside, you'll feel
And I'll feel
Broken inside you.
Feel (feel)
Feel (feel)
Feel (feel)
Feel (feel)
Feel (feel)
The lyrics of Muse's song Spiral Static are quite cryptic and can be interpreted in different ways. At first, it seems like the song is about a person who is trying to please someone else but is constantly questioning whether they are doing enough. The lines "He needs to give you everything you need, is it enough?" suggest that this person is struggling to meet the other person's demands and expectations.
However, the chorus reveals a different facet of the song, as it talks about a storm that is growing strong and is coming their way. It could be a metaphorical storm that represents the inner turmoil and chaos caused by the pressure to meet these expectations. This pressure leads to feelings of being "broken inside," and it seems like the person singing the song is also affected by this storm.
The repetition of the word "feel" towards the end of the song reinforces the idea that this storm is about emotions and feelings. The song seems to suggest that it's okay to feel overwhelmed and broken, but the storm cannot be ignored, and it's something that needs to be faced.
