New One III
Muse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

How much pain has quaked your soul?
How much love would make you whole?
You're my guiding lightning strike
I can't find the words to say,
They're overdue,
I've traveled half the world to say,
I belong to you

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

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

I can't find the words to say,
They're overdue,




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

Overall Meaning

Muse's song New One IV conveys themes of loyalty, love, and devotion. The first stanza implies that the pillars referred to may represent one's own inner turmoil or hardships they face. The person being addressed in the lyrics is comforting the singer, stating that they will be the one to wear the crown once these pillars come down. The singer acknowledges their gratitude towards this person and owes everything to them. This may allude to a relationship where one person has been the rock for the other, helping them through their trials.


The second verse continues with themes of pain and love. The singer asks how much pain has quaked this person's soul and how much love would make them whole. The person is described as a guiding lightning strike, suggesting they provide clarity and direction to the singer. The chorus then repeats the notion that the singer cannot find the words to express their emotions, but they have traveled half the world to say that they belong to this person.


The bridge introduces a different tone with the lines "And she attacks me like a Leo, when my heart is split like Rio." This may suggest that the person being addressed can be fierce, like a lion, when the singer is feeling vulnerable. However, they assure the person that their debts to them are real. The chorus repeats once more, emphasizing that the singer's travels have led them to declare that this person is their muse.


Overall, New One IV presents a narrative of a person who has found their guiding light in another individual. The lyrics suggest a deep connection and loyalty that has been built and emphasizes the importance of someone who has helped us through our darkest times.

- LYRICS -
I never believed that I would concede
And let someone trample on me
You strung me along, I thought I was strong
But you were just gaslighting me
I've opened my eyes, and counted the lies
And now it is clearer to me
You are just a user and an abuser
Living vicariously
I never believed that I would concede
And get myself blown asunder
You strung me along, I thought I was strong
But now you have pushed me under
I've opened my eyes and counted the lies
And now it is clearer to me
You are just a user and an abuser
And I refuse to take it
Won't stand down
I'm growing stronger
Won't stand down
I'm owned no longer
Won't stand down
You've used me for too long
Now die alone
Now I'm coming back, a counterattack
I'm playing you at your own game
I'm cutting you out, a shadow of doubt
Is gonna hang over your name
I've opened my eyes, I see your disguise
I will never see you the same
I know how to win, before you begin
I'll shoot you before you take aim
Now I'm coming back, a counterattack
A psychological war
I'm cutting you in, I'm under your skin
Now I'm gonna settle the score
I've opened my eyes, I see your disguise
I will never see you the same
I know how to win, before you begin
I'll shoot you before you take aim
Won't stand down
I'm growing stronger
Won't stand down
I'm owned no longer
Won't stand down
You've used me for too long
Now die alone
Won't stand down
I'm growing stronger
Won't stand down
I'm owned no longer
Won't stand down
You've used me for too long
Now die alone
