Hysteria
Muse/Florio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's bugging me
Grating me
And twisting me around

Yeah I'm endlessly
Caving in
And turning inside out
'Cause I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
And I'm breaking out
I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control

Yeah it's holding me
Morphing me
And forcing me to strive

To be endlessly
Caving in
And dreaming I'm alive

'Cause I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
I'm not breaking down
I'm breaking out
Lace chance to lose control

And I want you now
I want you now
I feel my heart implode
And I'm breaking out




Escaping now
Feeling my faith erode

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Muse/Florio's song Hysteria are a powerful portrayal of a person trapped in their own anxieties and desires. The first two lines create a sense of disturbance and agitation, with the singer feeling their emotions becoming more and more unmanageable. The repetition of the words "endlessly" and "caving in" in the second and third lines of the first verse suggest that the character is feeling overwhelmed and powerless.


The chorus is a plea for release, a desire to escape the restrictions that are preventing the singer from feeling fulfilled. The repetition of the phrase "I want it now" emphasises the urgency of this desire, and the language used - "Give me your heart and your soul" - suggests that the singer needs more than just a physical release, but a deeper emotional connection. The line "last chance to lose control" marks a turning point for the character, who is willing to give in to their desires in order to finally feel free.


The second verse follows a similar pattern, with the singer describing how their external circumstances are moulding them into someone they don't recognise. The repetition of the word "endlessly" again emphasises the feeling of being trapped, while the line "dreaming I'm alive" suggests a desire for something more than just clinging on to survival. The second chorus returns to the same theme as the first, with the singer longing for a connection that will allow them to truly break free.


Overall, the lyrics of Hysteria paint a vivid picture of a person consumed by their own desires and anxieties. The use of repetition and powerful language create a sense of urgency and desperation, while the story told is one that many people can surely relate to.
