Black Holes and Revelations (2006) incorporated electronic and pop elements, displayed in singles such as "Supermassive Black Hole", and brought Muse wider international success. The Resistance (2009) and The 2nd Law (2012) explored themes of government oppression and civil uprising and cemented Muse as one of the world's major stadium acts. Rolling Stone stated the band possessed "stadium-crushing songs". Topping the US Billboard 200, their seventh album, Drones (2015), was a concept album about drone warfare and returned to a harder rock sound. Their eighth album, Simulation Theory (2018), prominently featured synthesisers and was influenced by science fiction and the simulation hypothesis. Their ninth album, Will of the People (2022), which combined many genres and themes from their previous albums, was released in August 2022.
Muse have won numerous awards, including two Grammy Awards, two Brit Awards, five MTV Europe Music Awards and eight NME Awards. In 2012 they received the Ivor Novello Award for International Achievement from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors. As of June 2016, they have sold over 30 million albums worldwide.

Dig Down
Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you fall to the ground
You must find a way
When the darkness descends
And you're told it's the end
You must find a way
When God decides to look the other way
And a clown takes the throne
Face the firing squad
Against all the odds
You will find a way
Dig down
Dig down
Dig down
And find faith
When you're close to the edge
With a gun to your head
You must find a way
When friends are thin on the ground
And they try to divide us
We must find a way
We have entered the fray
And we will not obey
We must find a way
Yeah
Dig down
Dig down
Dig down
And find faith
When they've left you for dead (dig down)
And you can only see red (dig down)
You must find a way
Dig down
Dig down
Dig down
Find faith
We won't let them divide (dig down)
We will never abide (dig down)
We will find a way
Dig down
Dig down
Dig down
Faith
Dig down
Dig down
Faith
The lyrics of the song Dig Down by Muse talk about finding hope and perseverance in difficult times. It begins with the words “When hope and love has been lost” suggesting a scenario of despair and hopelessness. But the lyrics go on to inspire the listener to not give up even when the odds are against them. The singer urges the listener to “Dig Down” and find faith within to continue in the face of adversity. The song is a call to arms to stand up against the world that can be indifferent and even hostile to one's dreams.
As the song progresses, the lyrics talk about standing up against those who try to divide us. Muse seems to be referring to the current political and social climate where many in power try to create divides and spread hate. The lyrics suggest that we must find a way to continue and not bow down to their tactics. The song talks about standing up even when your closest friends abandon you, urging the listener to find faith and strength individually.
The final part of the song talks about never giving up even when the world seems against you. The lyrics suggest that we should always dig down and find the faith and inner strength to keep going. The message of the song is clear - persevere even in the darkest of times and to never lose hope.

When hope and love has been lost
When everything seems hopeless and love seems to be gone
And you fall to the ground
When you're overwhelmed and defeated by life's hardships
You must find a way
You need to muster the strength to carry on despite adversity
When the darkness descends
When you're consumed by darkness and despair
And you're told it's the end
When everything around you seems to be crumbling and shutting down
You must find a way
You need to keep pushing even when it seems impossible
When God decides to look the other way
When it seems like God or the universe is ignoring your pleas
And a clown takes the throne
When an unworthy or dangerous person assumes power
We must find a way
We have to band together and fight against the injustice
Face the firing squad
Put yourself in danger to stand up for your beliefs

Dig down
Keep searching and never give up
And find faith
Hold on to your beliefs and values for guidance
When you're close to the edge
When you feel like you're about to give up or can't take any more
With a gun to your head
When you're faced with extreme danger or pressure
When friends are thin on the ground
When you don't have many people to turn to for support
And they try to divide us
When those in power try to pit people against each other
We have entered the fray
We have joined the fight against the unjust forces
And we will not obey
We won't let them manipulate and control us
Yeah
An expression of enthusiasm and agreement
When they've left you for dead
When they've abandoned and betrayed you
And you can only see red
When you're angry and blinded by your emotions
We won't let them divide
We'll stand together and not let them tear us apart
We will never abide
We won't tolerate their corruption and oppression
Faith
Hold onto your convictions and never give up hope

Idk if allowed, but here are the lyrics:

The song is about not giving up even if the world seems to fall apart at the seams. You might not like the Techno Madness style of this song. but the lyrics are stil very much Muse.

Lyrics :
When hope and love has been lost and you fall to the ground
You must find a way
When the darkness descends and you’re told it’s the end
You must find a way
When god decides to look the other way and a clown takes the throne
We must find a way
Face the firing squad, against the odds
You will find a way
Dig Down
Dig Down
Dig Down and find faith
When you’re close to the edge
With a gun to your head
You must find a way
When friends are thin on the ground and they try to divide us
We must find a way
We have entered the fray and we will not obey
We must find a way, yeah
Dig Down
Dig Down
Dig Down and find faith
When they’ve left you for dead and you can only see red
You must find a way

This sounds like I've heard it before. What's their other hit song?
@gaganry
This song sounds similar to "Madness"
@rockerstreet8743
Madness
@JoosepJoosepnn1995

I hate how people are saying this is not real muse. I don't think you can define 'real' muse. These extremely talented musicians have created their own genre in a way. Not that I don't respect others' opinions, i just don't see it. Muse always try something different. I can't think of one album all in the same genre ; apart from the 'muse' genre of course.
@phamxuantung8743
washburnepiphone so you say that these people singing in this vid is the fake Muse ? jeez i wonder where is the "real" Muse now
@Yorah95
washburnepiphone, you know that on, Black holes, Absolution and Origin of symmetry, they got songs that by your definition are not seen as "real muse" so i do not see what you are saying here.
@kv-5
Yeah except this isn't different anymore. 2nd Law was. This not. From the sounds it could have easily been from the 2nd Law album. Not going to judge them too hard on this one though maybe the rest of the album will be better. We will find out in 2018.
