The Groove
Muse/Florio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So here it is again
Rape and pillage proves
To win the public vote

Someone tell me who will take the prize
And who takes the fall

So confused when you're lost in the groove
So confused when you're lost in the groove

And down time comes again
And her masks are shifting like a chameleon
Someone tell me why she breaks my fall
And then breaks my heart

So confused when you're lost in the groove
So confused when you're lost in the groove

Wow!





So confused when you're lost in the groove
So confused when you're lost in the groove

Overall Meaning

The song "The Groove" by Muse/Florio is a commentary on the manipulation and corruption of politics. The first few lines of the song, "Rape and pillage proves to win the public vote" suggest that politicians are willing to do whatever it takes to win the support of the people, even if it means using violent tactics. The chorus, "So confused when you're lost in the groove," speaks to the idea that people can get caught up in the rhythm of politics, and become unable to see the truth behind the actions of their leaders.


The second verse shifts the focus to a relationship, describing a person whose "masks are shifting like a chameleon." The line "Someone tell me why she breaks my fall and then breaks my heart" suggests that the person in the relationship is being used and manipulated, just like the public is by politicians. The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the idea that being caught up in something, whether it be politics or a relationship, can lead to confusion and a loss of clarity.
