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 ↴
Too many poeple left you in the cold
You are everything to change
Cause you are afraid of losing
hooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooo
Hooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooo
She's only alive inside a machine
We want every thing to change
Cause you are afraid of losing
Tell me do you really need this?
Tell me do you really care?
Tell me do you really need this?
Tell me do you really care?
I don't thing you really need this
And I don't think you really care
And I don't think you really need this
And I don't think you really care
Too many young and too many old
Too many people left in the shadow
We want every thing to change
Now I'm so afraid of losing
Yeah yeah yeah yeahhhhhh
Muse's song Rubylions from the album Showbiz (1999) is an intense and poignant social commentary on the state of society. The lyrics of the song address the issue of cultural poverty and the loss of individuality in a world dominated by capitalism and consumerism. The first verse highlights the stark contrast between the young and the old, and how many individuals are left in the shadows. This exposes a harsh reality that there are people who do not benefit from social welfare, and the society tends to neglect them.
The next verse talks about the virtual world and how individuals are becoming more and more dependent on technology, which is causing a decline in real and meaningful relationships. The lines, "She's only alive inside a machine" indicate that the individual's life is meaningless unless they are on the screen. The chorus provokes the listener to question the necessity of the material possessions they own and the lifestyle that they lead. The lyrics ask a series of questions, which reveal that people don't really need the things they possess, but they're only afraid of losing them.
The final verse again emphasizes the large population being overlooked and ignored, leading to their detriment. The song ends with the artist confessing his fear of losing his authenticity amidst the crowds of people striving to make their mark in a world obsessed with superficiality.
