Neutron Star Collision
Muse攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were on a mission
Then our hearts combined like
A neutron star collision
I have nothing left to lose
You took your time to choose
Then we told each other
Our love would be forever
And if we die
We die together
And lie, I said never
'Cause our love would be forever
The world is broken
Halos fail to glisten
You try to make a difference
But no one wants to listen
Hail,
The preachers, fake and proud
Their doctrines will be cloud
Then they'll dissipate
Like snowflakes in an ocean
Love is forever
And we'll die, we'll die together
And lie, I say never
'Cause our love could be forever
Now I've got nothing left to lose
You take your time to choose
I can tell you now without a trace of fear
That my love will be forever
And we'll die
We'll die together
Lie, I will never
'Cause our love will be forever
The song "Neutron Star Collision" by Muse is a powerful ballad about the strength of love amidst a broken world.

The imagery of a neutron star collision is used to describe the intensity of their meeting and the fusion of their hearts. The singer then acknowledges that they have nothing left to lose and their partner took their time to choose, but they both made a commitment to each other with no fear.
The second half of the song takes a darker turn as the broken world around them is described. The preachers are deemed fake and proud, and their doctrines will eventually dissipate. The world is broken and halos fail to glisten, while the singer and their partner try to make a difference but no one seems to listen. However, the chorus reinforces the strength of their love, as they affirm that they will die together and that their love will be forever.
Overall, "Neutron Star Collision" is a commentary on the strength of love in the face of a broken world. The song encourages the listener to hold on to love and cherish it as a powerful force for good in the midst of darkness.
