Black Holes and Revelations (2006) incorporated electronic and pop elements, displayed in singles such as "Supermassive Black Hole", and brought Muse wider international success. The Resistance (2009) and The 2nd Law (2012) explored themes of government oppression and civil uprising and cemented Muse as one of the world's major stadium acts. Rolling Stone stated the band possessed "stadium-crushing songs". Topping the US Billboard 200, their seventh album, Drones (2015), was a concept album about drone warfare and returned to a harder rock sound. Their eighth album, Simulation Theory (2018), prominently featured synthesisers and was influenced by science fiction and the simulation hypothesis. Their ninth album, Will of the People (2022), which combined many genres and themes from their previous albums, was released in August 2022.
Muse have won numerous awards, including two Grammy Awards, two Brit Awards, five MTV Europe Music Awards and eight NME Awards. In 2012 they received the Ivor Novello Award for International Achievement from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors. As of June 2016, they have sold over 30 million albums worldwide.

INTRODUCTION
Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'cause I fear what you're thinking.
...It's gonna make it hurt.
You better not try to make me.
Believe in someone new.
Faithless, on my way.
Defenceless, from my heart, won't you be.
Breathless, from this night's misery.
This night will start the exile... run...
Now you tell me what it was worth.
Was it meant to be broken.
The circle that wouldn't shed a single tear.
And now you wanna redirect me from the face of the earth.
Not willing to share your time.
Not near, not far.
I'm just a spectator, once loved.
Just fear, just scars.
A sheer introduction to what I've lost, to what I've lost...
Faithless, on my way.
Defenceless, from my heart, won't you be.
Heartless, here with me.
Breathless, from this night's misery, from this night's misery...
One more endless night...
To notice all the things I have to be.
Faithless, on my way.
Won't forget, from my heart, won't you be.
Heartless, here with me.
Breathless, from this night's misery.
This night will start the exile... run...
The lyrics of Muse's song Introduction are filled with intense emotions of heartbreak and pain. The song captures the feelings of betrayal and abandonment that come with a lost love. The singer asks the other person to not put their feelings into words because it would make the pain worse for them. He also tells them not to try and convince him to believe in someone new because he is still hurting from the loss.
The chorus of the song repeats the words 'faithless', 'defenceless', 'heartless', and 'breathless' which showcases the extent of the singer's vulnerability and despair. He is left feeling lost and alone, with scars from what he once had. The song talks about a circle that wouldn't shed a single tear which could be interpreted as the relationship being one-sided and the other person not caring about the pain the singer is feeling now. In the end, the singer acknowledges that he needs to move on and start anew, however painful it may be, and that this night is the beginning of his journey towards healing.
