Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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
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
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
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
"Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse is a song that speaks about the fleeting and fickle nature of love. The opening lines, "Oh baby, don't you know I suffer? Oh baby, can you hear me moan?" suggest the singer is in pain for being caught under false pretenses by his lover. He is aware that his lover is superficial, and he doesn't know how long he can keep living in this lie. The singer feels that his soul is on fire because of this relationship, and he is helpless to put it out.
The chorus, "Glaciers melting in the dead of night, and the superstars sucked into the supermassive," suggests the idea of impermanence and how everything can return to nothingness in a matter of time, even something as vast and enduring as a glacier or as famous as a superstar. The supermassive black hole is used as a metaphor for how the singer's lover is gathering all his emotions and consuming them to the point where he cannot escape the vortex of the black hole. The lyrical narrative explores themes of obsession, desperation, and unrequited love, which are captured by the song's intense and electric sound with its driving bass and drums, distorted guitar riffs, and soaring vocals.
