Sing for Absolution
Muse Lyrics

Lips are turning blue
The singer is slowly losing the will to live and is feeling cold and numb

A kiss that can't renew
A relationship that has faded away and can never be rekindled

I only dream of you
The singer can't stop thinking about the person they have lost

My beautiful
The artist is using a term of endearment to describe the one who got away

Tiptoe to your room
The artist is sneaking around trying to get close to the person they have lost

A starlight in the gloom
The person they have lost is standing out in the darkness, as though they are a shining star

And you never knew
The singer is pining over someone who never knew just how much they meant to them

Sing for absolution
The artist is pleading for forgiveness for their mistakes

I will be singing
The artist is determined to ask for absolution, no matter what it takes

Falling from your grace
The artist has done something to lose the favor of the person they are seeking absolution from

There's nowhere left to hide
The singer feels like they have been exposed and there is no more room for secrets

In no one to confide
The artist has no one to turn to for help or support

The truth runs deep inside
The singer knows deep down that they were in the wrong and must own up to their mistakes

And will never die
The truth will always remain, no matter how much time passes

Our wrongs remain unrectified
The singer and the person they have lost never had a chance to make things right between them

And our souls won't be exhumed
The pain and regret will remain with them forever and will never be able to be put to rest
