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.

Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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?
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
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.

Come ride with me
Through the veins of history,
I'll show you how God
Falls asleep on the job
And how can we win,
When fools can be kings?
Don't waste your time
Or time will, waste, you...
No one's gonna take me alive
Time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
No one's gonna take me alive
Time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
No one's gonna take me alive
Time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive

[Instrumental Intro with Vocalizations]
Come ride with me
Through the veins of history
I'll show you a god
Who falls asleep on the job
And how can we win
When fools can be kings?
Don't waste your time
Or time will waste you
No one's gonna
Take me alive
The time has come
To make things right
You and I must
Fight for our rights
You and I must
Fight to survive
No one's gonna
Take me alive
The time has come
To make things right
You and I must
Fight for our rights
You and I must
Fight to survive
No one's gonna
Take me alive
The time has come
To make things right
You and I must
Fight for our rights
You and I must
Fight to survive
