Get Up and Fight
Muse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What we have's the only thing worth fighting for
And I, I won't let nothing keep us apart
Through these fallouts there is
A truth and pain but through it all
You will always have my heart

I see a change on the horizon
Reasons to be frightened
I know that we can pull through
I am here to tell you

Get up and fight
Get up and fight
I can't do this thing without you
I'm lost in this without you
Get up and fight
We've gotta get up and fight
I can't handle this without you
Can't do it without you

In our heads, a million voices scream and shout
And no one will ever hear a sound
Oh, only you can hush it
And calm the turmoil and the noise
And help me reach the higher ground

I see a change on the horizon
Reasons to be frightened
There's nothing we can't get through
I am here to tell you

To get up and fight
Get up and fight
I can't do this thing without you
I'm lost in this without you
Get up and fight
We've gotta get up and fight
I can't handle this without you
Can't do it without you

Get up and fight
Get up and fight
I can't do it without you

Get up and fight
Get up and fight
I can't do this thing without you
I'm lost in this without you
Get up and fight
We've gotta get up and fight
I can't handle this without you
Can't do it without you





I can't survive without your love in my life
You've gotta get up and fight

Overall Meaning

Muse's song "Get Up and Fight" is a powerful ballad about the strength and perseverance of love amidst the struggles of life. The lyrics focus on the idea that the love between two people is the only thing worth fighting for, and that even in the darkest moments, they can overcome anything as long as they're together. The singer communicates a sense of urgency, a desire to motivate his partner to fight alongside him in the face of adversity. He acknowledges the difficulties they will inevitably face, but assures his loved one that no matter what, he will always be there for them, and they will make it through together.


The metaphor of a change on the horizon and reasons to be frightened could imply impending difficulties in the relationship, or may also allude to larger societal problems. Nevertheless, the moment of crisis becomes an opportunity for the couple to prove their love and commitment. The intensity of the lyrics comes from the personal connection the singer has to this individual - their bond is the most important thing in the world.


The repetition of the phrase ‘get up and fight’ throughout the song has a powerful, almost chant-like quality, urging the listener to take action and not give up. Ultimately, the song serves as a reminder to hold on to love in the face of adversity, and that no matter what life throws at us, the only option is to get up and fight.

I can understand that some people expected something else from the last album but I personally just love it. And to me that song says it all, Muse are trying new things and when I listen to Simulation Theory I know that it's damn worth it.

Kami Kuro

I love this song. It has very personal lyrics about wanting someone to get better, whether it's a family member, a friend... It may not be your "typical Muse song" because of the "cheesy lyrics" but it's a song that enyone can listen to and share when they want to support to a loved one. And I think that's beautiful.

Plus the voice and instrumental do not disappoint either

haeno

lol cheesy lyrics when they sings way cheesier lyrics before like unintended, endlessly, falling away with you; just to name a few few. these people can't accept change and keep complaining about muse is forgetting their 'roots'. since I listen to electronic music too, I thoroughly enjoy this album. in fact there are so many good message from the songs.. some are quite depressing too and relatable

Alex balls

this is one of my fav songs off the album it's beautiful

I’ve been listening to Muse for as long as I can remember, and this song is one of my favorites. Just the meaning behind the song and how it makes you feel makes this song amazing.

Stefano Ronchi

Muse are trying to say to us to rebel against this world since the begin of their career. I love them for that...changed the style but never the message.

Spiralia Statica

Yes, same message since the beginning... The world isn't what it seems to be...
