Apocalypse Please
Muse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Declare this an emergency
Come on and spread a sense of urgency
And pull us through
And pull us through

And this is the end
This is the end
Of the world

And it's time we saw a miracle
Come on, it's time for something biblical
To pull us through
And pull us through

And this is the e
This is the end
Of the world

Proclaim eternal victory
Come on and change the cause of history
And pull us through
And pull us through

And this is the end




This is the end
Of the world

"Apocalypse Please" was originally recorded with an orchestral backing, which was removed simply for being, according to Bellamy, "too much."

@OmeyrABD

Rock Music Videos they should have kept it, maybe on the album as a b-side... Or a single?

@owen5760

Rock Music Videos I would have loved that

@thedeadpianist

Heck imagining that is enough to get me hyped, orchestra for this would be amazing to listen to

@KimTmomof3

Too much? For Muse? Wow, for Matt to say that... Would love to hear it!

@hthomson72

Kimberly Trouy IKR! We all know he’s so introverted and shy, self-deprecating, reserved and not prone to be flashy or over the top at all! Very much out of character! Hahaha
