The band consists of Matt Bellamy (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), Chris Wolstenholme (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Dominic Howard (drums). They released their debut album, Showbiz, in 1999, showcasing Bellamy's falsetto and a melancholic alternative rock style. Their second album, Origin of Symmetry (2001), incorporated wider instrumentation and romantic classical influences and earned them a reputation for energetic live performances. Absolution (2003) saw further classical influence, with strings on tracks such as "Butterflies and Hurricanes", and was the first of seven consecutive UK number-one albums.

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.

I Belong to You/Mon Cœur S'ouvre à ta Voix
Muse Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When these pillars get pulled down,
It will be you who wears a crown,
And I'll owe everything to you

How much pain has cracked your soul?
How much love would make you whole?
You're my guiding lightning strike

I can't find the words to say,
But they're overdue,
I've traveled half the world to say,
I belong to you

Then she attacks me like a Leo,
When my heart is split like Rio,
But, I assure you my debts are real

I can't find the words to say,
When I'm confused,
I've traveled half the world to say,
You are my muse

(Ah! Reponds ma tendresse,
Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse,
Reponds ma tendresse,
Reponds ma tendresse,
Ah! Verse-moi l'ivresse,
Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse,
Reponds ma tendresse,
Reponds ma tendresse,
Ah! Verse-moi l'ivresse,
I belong,
I belong to you alone)

Muse,
I can't find the words to say,
But they're overdue,

I've traveled half the world to say,
I belong to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “I Belong to You” by Muse are a mix of romantic gestures and poetic metaphors. The first stanza talks about a strong bond between two people, where one person is confident that the other will be crowned when the pillars come down. It refers to the fact that when the foundation of life shakes, one should have a reliable person to look up to, someone who can steer you in the right direction. The person reflects on the amount of pain and love that the other has gone through and how they have become a guiding lightning strike for them.

The second stanza is a beautiful expression of love, where the person is confessing their feelings but finding it hard to put it across in words. The person has traveled half the world to say, “I belong to you,” and is using poetic metaphors to express their feelings. The mention of a Leo and Rio is a reference to a person who attacks them like a lion and their heart is split in half, just like Rio is a split name for Rio de Janeiro. But they assure that the debts are real, and they belong to their muse.

Overall, the lyrics are a beautiful mix of poetic expressions and romantic gestures. It's a song that showcases the depth of love between two people and how they can be the guiding light for each other in difficult times.

Line by Line Meaning

When these pillars get pulled down, It will be you who wears a crown, And I'll owe everything to you
When life gets tough and everything seems to fall apart, you are the one who always comes out on top. I am so grateful for your unwavering support and guidance.

How much pain has cracked your soul? How much love would make you whole? You're my guiding lightning strike
I see the pain you carry deep within you, and I wish I could take it all away. I will do everything in my power to bring you the love and happiness that you deserve. You are my beacon of hope in the darkness.

I can't find the words to say, But they're overdue, I've traveled half the world to say, I belong to you
I have been holding these feelings inside for far too long, but I cannot keep them hidden any longer. I have come from afar to tell you that my heart belongs to you, and only you.

Then she attacks me like a Leo, When my heart is split like Rio, But, I assure you my debts are real
Sometimes, when I am at my most vulnerable, you come at me with all the ferocity of a lion. My heart is fragile, but I know that the love and support you give me are genuine and unwavering.

I can't find the words to say, When I'm confused, I've traveled half the world to say, You are my muse
I am often at a loss for words when trying to express how much you mean to me. That's why I have journeyed great distances to tell you that you are my muse, my inspiration, and my reason for living.

(Ah! Reponds ma tendresse, Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse, Reponds ma tendresse, Reponds ma tendresse, Ah! Verse-moi l'ivresse, Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse, Reponds ma tendresse, Reponds ma tendresse, Ah! Verse-moi l'ivresse, I belong, I belong to you alone)
These French lyrics translate to 'Ah! Respond to my tenderness, pour me the intoxicating drink, respond to my tenderness, I belong to you alone.' This further emphasizes the singer's desire to express how deeply they belong to the one they love.

Muse, I can't find the words to say, But they're overdue, I've traveled half the world to say, I belong to you
This chorus repeats the message of the song, emphasizing the singer's longing and need to belong to the one they love. No matter how far they have traveled or how hard they try, they cannot find the right words to express their feelings adequately.

This song melts my heart and gives me goosebumps..... I must thank my huge friend who introduced me to this beautiful song and amazing band...

He said "Hey, have you listened to that song that's in the Twilight movie?"
"Oh yeah, Supermassive Black Hole, isn't it? I love the guitar riff!"
"No, not that one, this one! " (He sent me the link)
"You have to listen to it! and close your eyes at the middle...That part is so sweet.."

To be honest at first I thought this song was extremely awkward and, not knowing french + awkward song = WHAT?

But thank God I gave it a second chance and now it's one of my favourite songs!

What does it matter if the French say they can't understand his French? We can't understand his English most of the time either. Not that that's bad. His voice is amazing. It's the drawn out operatic nature of most of his lyrics that make the words hard to catch. Love it. The French section is from the opera 'Samson and Delilah' by Camille Saint-Seans, by the by.

So, to everyone commenting on his pronounciation, the French part is from an opera, and this is basically a cover of that song. In opera, you pronounce French very differently than you speak it. For example, you say the e at the ends of a lot of words. If you look up the original song from 'Sampson and Delilah' you will hear that he is pronouncing the French very well in that respect.

@LeonardoJimenezHerrera

8y↑39

+erinleighnavo
I think most people complain about his "r"(e.g. in "tendresse") which is a postalveolar approximant and not a voiced uvular fricative as it should be in French. He also pronounces the "é" as a close front unrounded vowel while it is correctly pronounced as a close-mid front unrounded vowel in French.

OK So I'll explain why young Matt sounds so different than older Matt, vocally speaking. I see a lot of comments regarding that. Before he sang with less chest voice in the manual mix of his singing (manual mix is when a singer combines the head voice with their chest voice and is more operatic way of singing (its literally the correct way)). Also "Plug in baby" the falsetto part is a good demo of a mixed voice, it is NOT a FALSETTO. Those sound weak, his falsetto on that song did not sound weak and I can also do what he did in the song and it is 100% a mixed voice. Thats how I had to do it. You can hear its a mixed voice in the isolated vocals of the song. As he got older he thickened the sound by pushing more of his chest into it and now it sounds more full and waaay less thin.

Its a literal accomplishment people are complaining about, he did that for both us and himself, it shows he learned while being successful. He didn't just assume he could get away with 30 years of the same sounding vocals, his singing evolved. It did not break down with age, it became a stronger vocal with age.

Proof cause I know everyone needs that now. Does the music seem more controlled? Yep. Was he less squeaky as he learned? Yep. Although we all liked it he still thought to learn something new to keep himself interesting and I commend all 3 of them for that. Their sound evolved because they know humans never stop learning.

The first part of "Muse". He finishes the word at 4:32. It was kinda hard to show that those were both parts of the same word.

@mrbobjrsrvThe French verse from the song is from a famous opera called Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix from the French opera Samson et Dalila

'Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix' is a French song from an opera called Samson & Delilah by Camille Saint-Saens, a French composer. Check out Maris Callas' version of the song - beautiful. Matt sings it well, though.

@hellonics7383

I've been in love with the French interlude in this song for years, but I only recently realized it's from the Saint-Saens opera Samson & Delilah .

This aria has become my favorite. Here it is, if anyone's interested:

Still interesting to me how this song references a lot of Muse as a whole:
"Guiding Light- ning strike"
"Overdue"
"You are my Mu..."
It may not seem like much, but I think that makes this song stick out to me more. It's a great touch

I'm Canadian but i live in Quebec so I speak French and English and I can tell you for a British person to sing or even speak in French, it's a challenge. French is my primary language so I can say that it's way harder to learn than english. So please cut him off some slack.

Especially since so many of the notes are long, it is harder to pronounce them. I have only sung French songs for singing examinations (English is my only language, pretty much except for GCSE level French) and holding vowels on long notes is definitely worse. He did a good job, really :)

In this part of the album, I like to imagine this is where the resistance has finally overthrown the establishment, and now they're all having a party in its office.

And in the middle of the song, the main couple are slow dancing within the crowd, as they say to each other, "I belong to you."
