Resistance●
●Muse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is our secret safe tonight?
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?
(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 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!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Muse's song "Resistance" are poignant and insightful with powerful themes of love and resistance. The song appears to be about a forbidden love - one that could potentially bring down the walls that separate the lovers. The first verse sets the stage for the rest of the song, questioning whether their secret is safe or not, and whether they will be discovered. The chorus is a powerful declaration of their love being their resistance - something that is keeping them apart but also bringing them together. It seems that the lovers are aware that their love is taboo but they are willing to fight for it regardless, even if it means they have to run away. The bridge of the song is both melancholic and optimistic, with the singer vowing to wait a thousand years just to see their lover's smile again. The song ends with a command to "Take us away from here/ Protect us from further harm/ Resistance!"


Overall, "Resistance" speaks to the power of love and the struggles that come with fighting against societal constraints. It is a song that captures the intensity and rawness of forbidden love and the lengths people will go to in order to keep it alive.

Lyrics
Oh baby, don't you know I suffer?
Oh baby, can you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretenses
How long before you let me go?
Ooh
You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive (you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive (you set my soul)
I thought I was a fool for no one
Oh baby, I'm a fool for you
You're the queen of the superficial
And how long before you tell the truth?
You set my soul alight
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive (you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive (you set my soul)
Super massive black hole
Super massive black hole
Super massive black hole
(Super massive black hole)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive (you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the super massive (you set my soul)
Super massive black hole
Super massive black hole
Super massive black hole
(Super massive black hole)
