Follow Me
Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And surrounds you
When you fall down
When you're scared
And you're lost, be brave
I'm coming to hold you now
When all your strength has gone
And you feel wrong
Follow me
You can follow me
And I, I will not desert you now
When your fire's died out
No one's there
They have left you for dead
Follow me
You can follow me
I will keep you safe
Follow me
You can follow me
I will protect you
Oh, I won't let them hurt
Hurting you, no
Oh yeah
When your heart is breaking
You can follow me
You can follow me
I will always keep you safe
Follow me
You can trust in me
I will always protect you, my love
Oh, feel my love
Oh, feel my love
Oh
The lyrics of Muse's song "Follow Me" convey a theme of protection, comfort and reassurance in times of darkness and despair. The song speaks to a sense of abandonment, loneliness and fear that one may experience in their life, and offers a safe haven where the person in need can find solace and warmth. When the world seems to be crashing down and one's own strength seems to be failing them, the singer reassures the listener that they will be there for them - to hold them, to protect them and to lead them out of darkness.
The song is an encapsulation of the attachment that binds people together, whether it be familial or romantic, during moments of fragility, reminding that we are not alone, even when it may seem that way. It is a song of hope, providing its listeners with an image of a warm embrace to cling to when feeling lost or disconnected. Throughout, the repetition of the command "Follow me" acts as a lighthouse in the night, a steady guiding light providing reassurance and comfort.

When darkness falls
When times get tough
And surrounds you
And everything feels overwhelming
When you fall down
When you stumble and can't get back up
When you're scared
When you're afraid and full of doubt
And you're lost, be brave
And even though you feel lost, have courage
I'm coming to hold you now
I'm here to support you
When all your strength has gone
When you feel like you can't keep going
And you feel wrong
And when things aren't going right
Like your life has slipped away
As if your life is going down a wrong path
Follow me
Trust me and let me lead
You can follow me
I'll always be there for you to follow
And I, I will not desert you now
I'll never abandon you
When your fire's died out
When you've lost your spark and passion
No one's there
When no one else is around to help
They have left you for dead
When others have abandoned you completely
I will keep you safe
I'll do everything in my power to protect you
You can trust in me
Believe that I'll always have your back
I will always protect you, my love
I'll never let anything happen to you
Oh, I won't let them hurt
I'll make sure no one harms you
Hurting you, no
I won't let anyone hurt you
When your heart is breaking
When you're hurting emotionally
I will always keep you safe
I'll always protect you from harm
Oh, feel my love
Feel the depth of my love for you
Oh, feel my love
Experience how much I care for you
Oh
It's a way of emphasizing the previous statement

As a father, this song means so much! the song was dedicated to his song Bingham. And on the beginning of the song from the album version, the beating sound was of his son's heartbeat monitored when in the womb. Shoutout to all the good parents out there!
