Resistance

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And are we out of sight?
Or will our world come tumbling down?
Will they find our hiding place?
Is this our last embrace?
Or will the walls start caving in?
But it should've been right
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Let our hearts ignite
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Are we digging a hole?
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
This is outta control
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could never last
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Must erase it fast
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it could've been right
(It could be wrong, could be)
Love is our resistance
They keep us apart and they won't stop breaking us down
And hold me, our lips must always be sealed
If we live our life in fear
I'll wait a thousand years
Just to see you smile again
Quell your prayers for love and peace
You'll wake the thought police
We can hide the truth inside
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it should've been right
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Let our hearts ignite
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Are we digging a hole?
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
This is outta control
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could never last
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Must erase it fast
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it could've been right
(It could be wrong, could be)
Love is our resistance!
They keep us apart and won't stop breaking us down
And hold me, our lips must always be sealed
The night has reached its end
We can't pretend
We must run
We must run
It's time to run
Take us away from here
Protect us from further harm
Resistance!
The song “Resistance” by Muse is about a couple who’s in love, but their relationship is frowned upon or even prohibited by society. The couple feels like they need to keep their relationship a secret and that they are constantly at risk of exposure. The song starts with asking if their secret is safe tonight and if they are out of sight. They fear their world will come crashing down if their hiding place is discovered or if the walls start caving in. The couple knows that what they are doing could be wrong, but they feel that it should be right as their hearts ignite. They feel like their relationship is out of control and that it could never last long. Love is their resistance against the forces trying to keep them apart, but they must always keep their lips sealed to avoid being caught. The song ends with the couple knowing that the night has reached its end, and it’s time for them to run away from the place where they’re hiding to a safer place.
Thematically, the song Resistance is about love and rebellion, and the two are combined in the overarching resistance of the force that is trying to keep the lovers apart. While it is unclear whether the song refers specifically to the love affair of two people or is more of a political commentary, the song is more likely to be political in nature. The song seems like a thinly veiled critique of totalitarian regimes that suppress love and freedom of expression. We see the lyrics address "thought police" and mention "quelling of prayers for love and peace," which are classic totalitarian moves to ensure that love and peace remain under state control.

And are we out of sight?
Are we unseen and hidden from the world's prying eyes?
Or will our world come tumbling down?
Is our existence threatened and in danger of falling apart?

But it should've been right
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Let our hearts ignite
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Are we digging a hole?
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
This is outta control
We may be making a mistake, but it feels like the right thing to do. Let our passion and love take over, even if it leads to danger.
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could never last
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Must erase it fast
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it could've been right
(It could be wrong, could be)
We know our love can't last forever, and we may need to erase it from memory for the greater good, but it had the potential to be something beautiful.
Love is our resistance
Our love is our weapon against those who seek to keep us apart and control us.
They keep us apart and they won't stop breaking us down
Others are trying to keep us apart and destroy our union, but we won't let them succeed.
And hold me, our lips must always be sealed
Let us stay silent and keep our secrets safe to avoid being caught.
If we live our life in fear
I'll wait a thousand years
Just to see you smile again
Even if we have to wait forever, we won't let fear control us or keep us from being together again.
Quell your prayers for love and peace
You'll wake the thought police
We can hide the truth inside
We must keep our desires for love and peace subdued because expressing them could attract negative attention and uncover our hidden secrets.
The night has reached its end
We can't pretend
We must run
We must run
It's time to run
We must accept that our time has run out and it's time to move on and run away to safety.
Take us away from here
Protect us from further harm
Resistance!
Guide us away from this place to somewhere safe, where we can continue our resistance against those who seek to harm us.

The practical answers to everything:
Issues:
Some people and situations bother people for making them (nervous or) uncomfortable which would, or could (if not uninvolvedly distant for non-bothering settle enough to understand what they're trying to reenact or involvements they're trying to regard,) make them nervous and cause being reminded about regarding elaborating expressions about being (made uncomfortably [or nervously stalled about elaborations for considerations enough to heed being]) bothered, and potentially, for enduring something that would seem like we could learn to change from, if (*though, also, ironically [thus far,] "if"...[though i could've overthought it]-) not expressively overwhelmed about it.
Find settle about concerning inadequacies imposed, potentially thrilledly, about (burdensome) elaborations of gratifying considerations for contentment by broadening horizons to compromise regarding regards elaborated to differ from elaborating enduring as though like because of elaborations of enduring regarding regards elaborated and that compare to involvemental elaborations that tend to elaborate to consider those involvements that could potentially be associated like the figured regards of burdensome elaborations to not endure figureably elaborating the elaborations that remind urgingly and are or cause the involvementally urging or urgeable reasons figurable that inhibit elaborating regards of self considerations amidst situational elaborations of enduring regarding regards elaborated; to compare the involvemental elaborations with similarly elaborated tones of elaborating accordingly in order to contrast elaborating involvements associatable like figured figurable regards of elaborations according to outlook of contentment of outcomes by, of or from elaborating elaborations to not endure figureably involvementally urging or urgeable reasons while figurably elaborated as though like urging for elaborations of involving situations similarly and to instead figuratively elaborate regarding regards of considerations to contrast between interactive regards's settles of elaborations about involvements easier.
Sometimes they're just saying what they don't want to endure (and because of wanting to be as enabled as, figuring choices made in contrast to the perspective of the involvement or involvements expressive about as though like to either be as though like or more enabled than and because.)
Socializing:
When in bars, be more present about things figured about to not focus too much on other people.
Talk about the lighting or the shelving or what people seem like on the tv or wherever and then gauge opinions about circumstances or regards to get an idea about how they are and what involvements with them would be or seem like or elaborate to find settle by considerations like accordingly (don't be their future reason of reunsettled dilemmas when drifting apart. drift apart right, if so, to take the problems away somewhere else [other than with you,] too.)
Notes about humor:
Laughter - irony of efforts (futility or pointlessness) figuring stressful situations (especially when it's obvious [and while it's unexpected][because of differentiating {openness <and being able to choose more /than enduring concerns about regards accordingly |to a punchline about - possibly misunderstandings which validate - the ideas of elaborations about involvements similarly figured from|\>} from concern about involving elaborations.])(?)
Sometimes people pick at people's habitual reactions that are practically expressions of unresolved, avoided, bothersome experiences (learned to compare criticisms about regards about the habitual reactions because of having figured some settle for not enduring burdens "as though like," overwhelmedly or not, about the bothersome experiences or they'd make your mind up for you by elaborating things you should like, whether you'd appreciate it or not, because of the interpersonal actuality of how you'd seem while trying to get involved like someone who'd enjoy those things that apparently could be liked and how you'd turn out for trying, and you maybe not feeling right because of it.)
they'd either laugh with you or laugh at you. If they were trying to laugh at you it means they could understand enduring, and maybe to the extent of being bothered by to the extent of dwelling about, the same or similar types of things.
The overwhelmed to helplessness's expressiveness about a distorted level of glee type of sarcasm is because of having been overwhelmed and given hopeless choices and was misunderstood otherwise (and while trying to figure things out for myself, ironically.)
Investing:
(When the support for buying wanes) they're going to sell until they are consistent (or enticing) about not selling, then they'd buy, unless they are not sure, not enticed, not confident or are not interested enough about buying which causes the price to wane (enough for them to start selling more.)
Google search the most active stocks for finding a current list of stocks to invest in. shop around.

i'm done chasing fairies and looking for fairy land. like the shadows turned into fairies.
i'm afraid of being blamed for things because when people blame people (or things, apparently) for things they tend to find a reason.
it's like people like finding excuses to blame people to feel less blamed for having their way with them.
i feel smothered by people and because of their outcome validating system of concerning people instead of them learning to be considerate of others instead of overwhelming their sense of consideration, learned by self consideration, with their concerns.
people don't want to be bothered. they can tolerate people who they can relate about by reflecting on their lives's circumstances, situations and experiences, otherwise they don't want to be bothered (and probably because of all the endured burdens that overwhelm their efforts for endeavors for enablement's validating settles of efforts encouraging gratifications for fulfilling contentment.)
to not endure bothersome interactions, don't expressively elaborate regards for urging interactive involvements for regarding, when wanting to elaborate regards for regarding something else more considerable to find or for finding settle for the sake of self-consideration to enable contentment and fulfillment beyond regards about concerns of endurances that could overwhelm, whatever concerns, of endeavors for gratifying enjoyable appreciation, because that urges involvement.(when i lost my strength and coordination [because of {exhausted agitation expression of} being overwhelmed about not being listened to] for a moment and dropped my phone "evj")
they'd misunderstand accordingly if they're not open to other things. because.
----
even in the sense of out of place smiles about nervously or nervousness about elaborating or elaborations's potential for bothersome regards, like i wasn't fooling anyone but myself.
good intentions doesn't mean enablement of enjoyment for appreciateable contentment by satisfying circumstances to have settled concerns about endeavors for elaborations of considered regards for considerations's fulfillment.
the whole thing about people trying to overwhelm me for me to concern about regards to be involved like (nervous[, avoidantly, etc] or agitated about discomfort) for them to be, potentially thrilled, to be, more enabled than me.
they hated being told that they were an intrusive bother and, or just or, they hated enduring interactions that they were overwhelmed for regarding regards for the sake of the figured gratifying or appreciateable settle of the involvements.
in their own way, they express that people agreed with them more often when they made up their own minds.
-----
people are or learned to be uncomfortable about getting involved with other people because they'd feel burdened if they had to make compromises to be with people. it would probably be overwhelming expressively because of agitation about wanting different involvements.
some people can understand eachother enough by having similar tolerances and appreciations of not enduring like and some people don't.
-----
if anything brood about it to get exhausted then disheartened about it to find what you're missing enough to be more coherent.

Just saw them live last week and they pretty much played most of these songs. They are truly amazing live and one of the best bands around today!
José Piquer
I saw them live long ago and had a blast. Best live playing band I ever seen
Jessica Sulaiman
I saw them live this past weekend and it was truly a great experience. freaking good band. I will see them again!
Rae Roa
The best bands I've ever seen live in my ENTIRE life are Muse, Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, The Rolling Stones and The Killers. If you have the chance to see ANY of them live -- just do it even if you aren't a huge fan - you will not be disappointed! Wishing everyone who reads this a safe and beautiful year - we are making it out to the other side and art will help keep us alive in this difficult world.
