Muse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They're saying that tomorrow the world might end
But that only means
More time
For living
Cuz if we never died
Or ran out of time
Would it be good?
Would it be good?
Well I'm living
Living for the the now
And I'm giving
Like I always knew somehow
That the day would come
When we only had 24
24 hours
24 - Ah- Et
Now I'm living
Living for the now
Oh yes I'm giving
Like I only knew somehow
That the day would come
When we only had 24
24 hours
I'm gonna take what's mine
Not tryna leave this life
With some regrets not right
I'm tryna max out time
Cuz all the gifts that I've been given
Don't compare to the present
This I know
This I know
Well I'm living
Living for the the now
And I'm giving
Like I always knew somehow
That the day would come
When we only had 24
24 hours
24 - Ah- Et
Now I'm living
Living for the now
Oh yes I'm giving
Like I only knew somehow
That the day would come




When we only had 24
24 hours

Overall Meaning

The above lyrics are from Muse's song "Muse" and discusses the idea of living in the present moment, making the most out of the limited time we have on Earth, and not dwelling on the fear of tomorrow. The opening lines "They're saying tomorrow the world might end" set the tone for the song as the lyrical perspective shifts to a realization that our time is fleeting and that we should prioritize living in the moment instead of worrying about what may come next. The lines "But that only means more time for living, Cuz if we never died or ran out of time, Would it be good? Would it be good?" highlight the idea that the knowledge of our own mortality adds value to the time we have and that we should cherish each moment. The song repeats the motif of having only 24 hours, emphasizing how little time we have on this earth and encouraging listeners to make the most of it.


The chorus that goes "Well, I'm living, Living for the now, And I'm giving, Like I always knew somehow, That the day would come when we only had 24, 24 hours" encourages listeners to focus on living in the present moment and to give their all, as if it were their last 24 hours. The lines "I'm gonna take what's mine, Not tryna leave this life, With some regrets not right, I'm tryna max out time" implore the listener to seize opportunities, avoid regrets, and make the most out of the time they have.

The practical answers to everything:

Issues:
Some people and situations bother people for making them (nervous or) uncomfortable which would, or could (if not uninvolvedly distant for non-bothering settle enough to understand what they're trying to reenact or involvements they're trying to regard,) make them nervous and cause being reminded about regarding elaborating expressions about being (made uncomfortably [or nervously stalled about elaborations for considerations enough to heed being]) bothered, and potentially, for enduring something that would seem like we could learn to change from, if (*though, also, ironically [thus far,] "if"...[though i could've overthought it]-) not expressively overwhelmed about it.

Find settle about concerning inadequacies imposed, potentially thrilledly, about (burdensome) elaborations of gratifying considerations for contentment by broadening horizons to compromise regarding regards elaborated to differ from elaborating enduring as though like because of elaborations of enduring regarding regards elaborated and that compare to involvemental elaborations that tend to elaborate to consider those involvements that could potentially be associated like the figured regards of burdensome elaborations to not endure figureably elaborating the elaborations that remind urgingly and are or cause the involvementally urging or urgeable reasons figurable that inhibit elaborating regards of self considerations amidst situational elaborations of enduring regarding regards elaborated; to compare the involvemental elaborations with similarly elaborated tones of elaborating accordingly in order to contrast elaborating involvements associatable like figured figurable regards of elaborations according to outlook of contentment of outcomes by, of or from elaborating elaborations to not endure figureably involvementally urging or urgeable reasons while figurably elaborated as though like urging for elaborations of involving situations similarly and to instead figuratively elaborate regarding regards of considerations to contrast between interactive regards's settles of elaborations about involvements easier.

Sometimes they're just saying what they don't want to endure (and because of wanting to be as enabled as, figuring choices made in contrast to the perspective of the involvement or involvements expressive about as though like to either be as though like or more enabled than and because.)

Socializing:
When in bars, be more present about things figured about to not focus too much on other people.
Talk about the lighting or the shelving or what people seem like on the tv or wherever and then gauge opinions about circumstances or regards to get an idea about how they are and what involvements with them would be or seem like or elaborate to find settle by considerations like accordingly (don't be their future reason of reunsettled dilemmas when drifting apart. drift apart right, if so, to take the problems away somewhere else [other than with you,] too.)

Notes about humor:
Laughter - irony of efforts (futility or pointlessness) figuring stressful situations (especially when it's obvious [and while it's unexpected][because of differentiating {openness <and being able to choose more /than enduring concerns about regards accordingly |to a punchline about - possibly misunderstandings which validate - the ideas of elaborations about involvements similarly figured from|\>} from concern about involving elaborations.])(?)

Sometimes people pick at people's habitual reactions that are practically expressions of unresolved, avoided, bothersome experiences (learned to compare criticisms about regards about the habitual reactions because of having figured some settle for not enduring burdens "as though like," overwhelmedly or not, about the bothersome experiences or they'd make your mind up for you by elaborating things you should like, whether you'd appreciate it or not, because of the interpersonal actuality of how you'd seem while trying to get involved like someone who'd enjoy those things that apparently could be liked and how you'd turn out for trying, and you maybe not feeling right because of it.)
they'd either laugh with you or laugh at you. If they were trying to laugh at you it means they could understand enduring, and maybe to the extent of being bothered by to the extent of dwelling about, the same or similar types of things.

The overwhelmed to helplessness's expressiveness about a distorted level of glee type of sarcasm is because of having been overwhelmed and given hopeless choices and was misunderstood otherwise (and while trying to figure things out for myself, ironically.)

Investing:
(When the support for buying wanes) they're going to sell until they are consistent (or enticing) about not selling, then they'd buy, unless they are not sure, not enticed, not confident or are not interested enough about buying which causes the price to wane (enough for them to start selling more.)
Google search the most active stocks for finding a current list of stocks to invest in. shop around.

i'm done chasing fairies and looking for fairy land. like the shadows turned into fairies.

i'm afraid of being blamed for things because when people blame people (or things, apparently) for things they tend to find a reason.

it's like people like finding excuses to blame people to feel less blamed for having their way with them.

i feel smothered by people and because of their outcome validating system of concerning people instead of them learning to be considerate of others instead of overwhelming their sense of consideration, learned by self consideration, with their concerns.

people don't want to be bothered. they can tolerate people who they can relate about by reflecting on their lives's circumstances, situations and experiences, otherwise they don't want to be bothered (and probably because of all the endured burdens that overwhelm their efforts for endeavors for enablement's validating settles of efforts encouraging gratifications for fulfilling contentment.)

to not endure bothersome interactions, don't expressively elaborate regards for urging interactive involvements for regarding, when wanting to elaborate regards for regarding something else more considerable to find or for finding settle for the sake of self-consideration to enable contentment and fulfillment beyond regards about concerns of endurances that could overwhelm, whatever concerns, of endeavors for gratifying enjoyable appreciation, because that urges involvement.(when i lost my strength and coordination [because of {exhausted agitation expression of} being overwhelmed about not being listened to] for a moment and dropped my phone "evj")

they'd misunderstand accordingly if they're not open to other things. because.

----

even in the sense of out of place smiles about nervously or nervousness about elaborating or elaborations's potential for bothersome regards, like i wasn't fooling anyone but myself.
good intentions doesn't mean enablement of enjoyment for appreciateable contentment by satisfying circumstances to have settled concerns about endeavors for elaborations of considered regards for considerations's fulfillment.

the whole thing about people trying to overwhelm me for me to concern about regards to be involved like (nervous[, avoidantly, etc] or agitated about discomfort) for them to be, potentially thrilled, to be, more enabled than me.

they hated being told that they were an intrusive bother and, or just or, they hated enduring interactions that they were overwhelmed for regarding regards for the sake of the figured gratifying or appreciateable settle of the involvements.

in their own way, they express that people agreed with them more often when they made up their own minds.

-----

people are or learned to be uncomfortable about getting involved with other people because they'd feel burdened if they had to make compromises to be with people. it would probably be overwhelming expressively because of agitation about wanting different involvements.

some people can understand eachother enough by having similar tolerances and appreciations of not enduring like and some people don't.

-----

if anything brood about it to get exhausted then disheartened about it to find what you're missing enough to be more coherent.

José Piquer

I saw them live long ago and had a blast. Best live playing band I ever seen

Jessica Sulaiman

I saw them live this past weekend and it was truly a great experience. freaking good band. I will see them again!

Rae Roa

The best bands I've ever seen live in my ENTIRE life are Muse, Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, The Rolling Stones and The Killers. If you have the chance to see ANY of them live -- just do it even if you aren't a huge fan - you will not be disappointed! Wishing everyone who reads this a safe and beautiful year - we are making it out to the other side and art will help keep us alive in this difficult world.
