Matt has said a couple of different things about it:
"That’s about the possibility of an orchestrated alien invasion created by the New World Order."
"It is about a trade agreement between the US government and extraterrestrials, about the use of new technologies."
In particular, the song makes reference to a well-known conspiracy theory called Project Blue Beam. This theory claims that the government will use satellites equipped with holographic projectors to trick the population into following a new-age religion, which they would use to control the population.
The Black Holes and Revelations CD sleeve says that Tom Kirk crashed antiques in the song, but they are barely audible, if even.
This song was made available as downloadable content for Guitar Hero 3.
Exo-Politics
Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am waiting patiently
I'll wait for a sign
As conspiracy unwind
Will you slam shut or free your mind?
Or stay hypnotized
When the Zetas fill the skies
Fully loaded satellites
Will conquer nothing but our minds
I'm waiting patiently
And I'll wait for the sign
Carried through the centuries
Secrets locked up
Are loaded on my back
And it weighs me down
When the Zetas fill the skies
It's just our leaders in disguise
Fully loaded satellites
Will conquer nothing but our minds
I'm waiting patiently
And I'll wait for the sign
I'm waiting patiently
And I'll wait for the sign
In Muse's song "Exo-Politics," the lyrics are questioning the idea of extraterrestrial life and asking if the governments and leaders of the world are being honest about their knowledge of it. The song opens with the artist waiting for some sort of sign and stressing over whether they should open their mind to the idea of conspiracy. The lyrics also reference the Zetas, which is a reference to the Zeta Reticuli star system, which is believed by some to be home to extraterrestrial beings.
The idea of government secrets and conspiracy is a major theme in the song, with the "secrets locked up" weighing the artist down. They call out the idea of fully loaded satellites as tools for conquering our minds and question the motives of those in power.
Overall, "Exo-Politics" is a commentary on the power dynamics of our world and the possibility of greater forces at play beyond our understanding.
