Since Muse did not release the song, they offered it to American glam rocker Adam Lambert, who was very thankful for Muse's contribution to his album.
Soaked
Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And sink like a stone
Walk home alone
It's not the first time
It's not the worst crime
Your soul will be OK
When you've had enough
And you miss the touch
Of someone new
Burnt by dreams
It's never how it seems
Cold, crushed esteem
Take shelter and hide forever
Your soul will be OK
And you've had enough
Searching for love
But you missed the touch
Of someone new
Well I've had enough
Searching for love
But I've missed the touch
Of someone new
Soaked to the bone
Sink like a stone
I will take you home
It's not the first time
It's not the worst crime
Our souls will be OK
The lyrics of "Soaked" by Muse have a melancholic vibe to them. The song seems to be about feeling disappointed and disillusioned in love, and wanting to find a way to heal and move on. The opening lines of "soaked to the bone and sink like a stone" create a vivid image of someone who is completely drenched and weighed down by their emotions. The feeling of loneliness and isolation is also evident as the singer walks home alone. However, there is a glimmer of hope as the singer mentions that "it's not the worst crime" and that "your soul will be OK." This could signify the idea that no matter what happens, it's important to keep going and not lose hope.
The chorus of the song talks about the pain of searching for love and missing the touch of someone new. The lyrics "burnt by dreams, it's never how it seems, cold crushed esteem" suggest that the singer has been through a lot of failed relationships and have lost their self-confidence as a result. The lines " take shelter and hide forever, your soul will be okay" could imply the idea that it's okay to take time to heal and recover from heartbreak. The chorus is then repeated with the singer acknowledging that they too have had enough of searching for love and missing the touch of someone new.
The final verse of the song takes on a more positive tone as the singer offers to take the other person home, stating that "our souls will be okay." It almost seems as though the singer has found someone they can connect with and that there is hope for healing and moving forward.
Overall, "Soaked" by Muse is a poignant and relatable song about the pain of heartbreak, the struggle to heal, and finding hope in new connections. The use of vivid imagery and emotive lyrics create a powerful sense of longing and sadness that is sure to resonate with many listeners.

I just discovered this, this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever listened to
David Harris
I can never decide whether I prefer this version, or Adam's studio or live versions. They're all so good. Good on Matt for giving it to Adam.
Mihaela Negritu
Well, decide this way.If Matt wouldn't make this song, Adam wouldn't have what to sing( it's about, specific this song ).Argue with me.
P.S.I like Adam, too, but consider this .If Adam would make a song like this, would he give to " someone else "? Don't think so.Matt is an altruist person.Adam, on the other hand...

@Mihaela Negritu I’m not sure why you think Matt is so generous and Adam isn’t. He gave two of his songs and the proceeds to charity.
