Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just wanna give it away
Our lives at stake
So let's just sign it away
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
Falling once again
You'll do it anyway
You do it to me once again
You do it to me night and day
You do it do it all again
Ooooooo
You do it to me once again
You do it to me night and day
You do it do it all again
Our lives at stake
I just wanna give it away
And our lives disdain yeah
So let's just sign it away
It doesn't matter...
It doesn't matter...
It doesn't matter...
It doesn't matter...
Falling once again
You'll do it anyway
You do it to me once again
You do it to me night and day
You do it do it all again
Oooo
You do it to me once again
You do it to me night and day
You do it do it all again
Yeah yeah yeah yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!
(sung really fast)
You do it to me once again
You do it to me night and day
You do it do it all again
You do it to me once again
You do it to me night and day
You do it do it all again
The song "Forameus" by Muse is a powerful anthem that speaks of the value and fragility of human life. The repeated refrain, "Our lives at stake, I just wanna give it away," expresses a sense of desperation and longing for release from the burdens and dangers of existence. The second line, "So let's just sign it away," suggests a willingness to surrender control and responsibility for our lives, perhaps in exchange for a sense of security or acceptance.
The verses of the song are more ambiguous in their meaning, but there is a sense of being caught in a cycle of repetition and pain. The lines "Falling once again, you'll do it anyway" suggest a lack of agency or control over one's actions or emotions, while the repetition of "you do it to me once again, you do it to me night and day" reinforces the idea of being trapped in a toxic or destructive relationship or pattern of behavior.
Overall, "Forameus" is a haunting and intense song that deals with themes of mortality, surrender, and desperation.
