Resistance
Muse Lyrics

Is our secret safe tonight?
Are we able to keep our love and relationship hidden from the prying eyes of others tonight?

And are we out of sight?
Can we act out our love without anyone seeing us and reporting it to the authorities or others who might disapprove?

Or will our world come tumbling down?
Is it inevitable that our love will be discovered by people that will stop at nothing to keep us apart?

Will they find our hiding place?
Will the authorities somehow discover our secret hiding place and end our love?

Is this our last embrace?
Are we about to get caught, and is this the last time we'll be able to embrace each other?

Or will the walls start caving in?
Is the pressure of keeping our love secret becoming too much to bear, and will it all come crashing down on us?

(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
We know deep down that society might not accept our love, but we still feel it's right.

But it should've been right
Our love is true and pure, and it should be celebrated, not condemned.

(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Even though we know that our love is not accepted by society, we still believe it's worth fighting for.

Let our hearts ignite
Let our passion for each other overcome the fears we have of societal judgment, and allow ourselves to indulge in the love we share.

(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
We feel uneasy in the face of disapproval, but our love is worth the risk.

Are we digging a hole?
Are we making things worse by trying to keep our love a secret and pretending that everything is normal?

This is outta control
The intensity of our feelings for each other is difficult to manage, and it feels like things are spiraling out of control.

It could never last
We know that this isn't sustainable, and that eventually, one way or another, our love will end.

Must erase it fast
We feel like we need to hide our love as quickly as possible to avoid being caught.

Love is our resistance!
Our love is a force that stands up to the norms of conventional society and a resilience to hatred and persecution.

They keep us apart and won't stop breaking us down
There are forces at work that are trying to keep us apart, and they won't stop trying to break up our relationship.

And hold me, our lips must always be sealed
We must keep our love a secret by never speaking about it to anyone else and never letting anyone else see us together.

If we live our life in fear
If we let our fear of society rule our lives, we won't be able to enjoy our love for each other.

I'll wait a thousand years
If it means that we get to be together in the end, I'll wait for as long as it takes.

Just to see you smile again
Just the thought of you brings joy to my life, and I'll do whatever it takes to make sure I see that smile again.

Quell your prayers for love and peace
Don't expect everything to be easy and in harmony just because you pray for it.

You'll wake the thought police
Believing in something the thought collective considers wrong might get you into social and legal troubles.

We can hide the truth inside
We can still love each other, even if we have to keep it a secret and hide it from the rest of the world.

The night has reached its end
We know that our time together is running out, and we have to prepare ourselves to say goodbye.

We can't pretend
We can no longer keep up the facade that everything is normal when we know that our love is anything but.

We must run
We have to leave everything behind if we are to have a chance at keeping our love alive.

Take us away from here
We need to leave this place, where we know that our love is not accepted.

Protect us from further harm
We can't face any more persecution or harm towards ourselves and our love.

Resistance!
Our love is our resilience against the oppressive forces that seek to tear us apart.
