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.

Stockholm Syndrome
Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let your hatred grow
And she'll scream
And she'll shout
And she'll pray
And she had a name
Yeah she had a name
Let your anger rise
And we'll fly
And we'll fall
And we'll burn
No one will recall
No one will recall
This is the last time I'll abandon you
And this is the last time I'll forget you
I wish I could
Look to the stars
Let hope burn in your eyes
And we'll love
And we'll hope
And we'll die
All to no avail
All to no avail
This is the last time I'll abandon you
And this is the last time I'll forget you
I wish I could
This is the last time I'll abandon you
And this is the last time I'll forget you
I wish I could
I wish I could
The lyrics to Muse's song Stockholm Syndrome seem to be about a toxic relationship where the singer is giving up on trying to keep the other person from hating and being angry. It's almost as if the singer sees the futility in trying to change the other person's behavior and decides to let them be. The line "Let your hatred grow" shows this indifference and perhaps even resignation. The chorus speaks to the idea of trying to make amends before it's too late, with the repeated line "This is the last time I'll abandon you" being a sort of desperate plea to save the relationship. However, it's unclear whether the other person even cares or is too far gone, as words like "fly," "fall," and "burn" suggest things falling apart. The song ends on a melancholic note with the repeated line "I wish I could," as if the singer regrets not being able to fix things.
One interpretation of the title Stockholm Syndrome is that it refers to a psychological phenomenon where a hostage or abuse victim develops feelings of affection and trust towards their captor. The song could be seen as a metaphor for this, with the singer being held captive by the other person's anger and hatred, yet still holding out hope for a better outcome. The line "All to no avail" suggests that this hope may be in vain. Overall, the song paints a picture of a dysfunctional relationship where love and hope have been replaced by resentment and distance.
