Futurism
Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Apostasy and apathy still rules
Yeah, you know it's cool
Just suck and see
A future turn us into silent gods
And I won't miss you at all
Grounded
Like the evil in your veins
Grounded
Boxed in
I am stuck with you
Fate can't decide
Alignment of the planets in your hands
Come on, crush our plans
Just suck and see
A future that won't let you disagree
And I won't miss you at all
Grounded
Boxed in
Like the evil in your veins
Grounded
Boxed in
I am stuck with you
Feel it, hear it, apathy, you are
See it, be it, you'll see
The lyrics of Muse's "Futurism" criticize the societal norms of ignorance, apathy, and apostasy which are prevalent even today. These societal norms, ironically, are considered cool and normalized, despite the fact that they constrain us into becoming silent gods. The lyrics, "Just suck and see, a future turn us into silent gods, and I won't miss you at all," suggest that the future may not even differentiate between the individuals who follow these norms and are thus insignificant.
The lyrics "Grounded, Boxed in, Like the evil in your veins" further emphasize the futility of such behavior and suggest that it will isolate individuals within their own minds. The lines "Fate can't decide, Alignment of the planets in your hands, Come on, crush our plans" criticize those who believe fate decides everything instead of taking ownership of their own lives. The song encourages people to take charge of their lives and not let societal norms dictate their future.
