Map of the Problematique
Muse/Florio Lyrics

Fear, and panic in the air
The atmosphere is filled with fear and panic

I want to be free
The singer desires freedom from their current situation

From desolation and despair
The singer wants to escape feelings of emptiness and hopelessness

And I feel like everything I saw
The artist believes that everything they have witnessed is being erased

Is being swept away
The artist perceives that everything they know is disappearing

When I refuse to let you go
The singer cannot let go of someone or something important to them

I can't get it right
The singer is struggling to find the correct path

Get it right
The artist wants to make the right choice

Since I met you
The artist is struggling since meeting someone or experiencing something

Loneliness be over
The artist hopes to be free from loneliness

When will this loneliness be over
The singer expresses a desire for an end to their loneliness

Life will flash before my eyes
The artist feels that their life is passing in a blur

So scattered almost
The singer feels disoriented and unfocused

I want to touch the other side
The singer desires a new experience or perspective

And no one thinks they are to blame
The singer observes that people do not accept responsibility for their actions

Why can't we see
The artist questions why people cannot comprehend a certain truth

That when we bleed we bleed the same
The artist believes that all people are fundamentally the same

When will this loneliness be over
The singer repeats their wish for an end to their loneliness

Loneliness be over
The singer repeats their hope to be free from loneliness

When will this loneliness be over
The artist repeats their desire for an end to their loneliness
