Contains metal influences, with a repetitive bass-line that the guitar mimics. The lyrics and melody are extremely distorted, with strange twisted snarls between. Like many of Muse's earlier work, the respiratory noises have been left in (as in "New Born").
Deadstar
Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For thinking that you're an exception
We're all to blame
Crashing down to earth
Waisting and burning out, yeah
Fading like a dead star, wooo
One is coming your way
Yeah, it's coming your way
You used to be everything to me
But i'm tired of the fighting
Tired of the fighting
Shame on you
For thinking
You're all alone
If you want to make a wish you weren't
Failing to impress
Why can't you sleep with
Someone who'll protect you, yeah
One is coming your way
Yeah, it's coming your way
You used to be everything to me
But now i'm tired of the fighting
Tired of the fighting
Fighting yourself

+ First version
She'll know for thinking
Your with assumption
We're all to blame
Crashing down to earth
Wasting and burning out
Fading like a dead star
One is coming your way
Its coming your way
And you used to mean everything to me
And now your tired and shining
Tired and shining, burning up
They know you for thinking your all alone
If you want it you should learn
Fading to the ground
Why can't you sleep with
Someone who'll protect you
One is coming your way
Its coming your way
And you used to mean everything to me
And now your tired and shining
Tired and shining, burning up
The lyrics of Muse's song "Deadstar" convey a message about the inevitability of failure and downfall. The opening line "Shame on you for thinking that you're an exception" suggests that the person addressed in the song has a tendency to overestimate themselves and believe that they are immune to the laws of nature that govern all events in the universe. The chorus "Fading like a dead star" is a metaphor for the process of burning out, dying, and losing one's energy and vitality. The repetition of the phrase "One is coming your way" in the chorus reinforces the idea that no one can escape their fate or avoid the consequences of their actions.
The second verse addresses the issue of loneliness and lack of support. The line "Failing to impress" implies that the person addressed feels like they are not living up to their potential or meeting the expectations of others. The line "Why can't you sleep with someone who'll protect you" suggests that the person is seeking comfort and safety from someone else but is unable to find it. The repetition of the chorus at the end of the song emphasizes the point that the person's downfall is inevitable and that they will continue to fade away like a dead star.
Overall, "Deadstar" is a powerful commentary on the human condition, reminding us that no matter how great our ambitions and aspirations are, we are all vulnerable to failure and defeat.

Weird that you posted ten minutes before now. I don't think the base sounds like Citizen Erased.
