Microcuts
Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Megaphone screaming my name
Whimpers someone I should've loved
Souls weeping above
I've seen what you're doing
Destroying puppet strings
To my soul
Micro waves me insane
A Blaine cuts in your brain
Sounds like forks on a plate
Blackboard scratched with hate
I've seen what you're doing
Destroying puppet strings
To my soul
The song Micro Cuts by Muse appears to be about a relationship that has turned abusive, leaving the singer feeling helpless and insane. The imagery of "hands red with your blame" could be interpreted as the physical abuse inflicted by the abuser. The line "Megaphone screaming my name" could represent the constant verbal abuse or manipulation that the abuser inflicts. The following line "Whimpers someone I should've loved" could signify the internal struggle of the singer, who may still love the abuser despite the abuse they endure.
The lines "Micro waves me insane" and "A Blaine cuts in your brain" are particularly striking, as they suggest a level of psychological torment inflicted upon the singer. The use of these disorienting and unsettling images, along with the metaphor of "destroying puppet strings to my soul," creates a sense of powerlessness and loss of control. The comparison of the distorted sound of "forks on a plate" with the scratching of a "blackboard with hate" further adds to the sense of distress and unease present throughout the song.
Overall, Micro Cuts is a poignant and emotionally powerful exploration of the devastating effects of abuse, both physical and psychological.
