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.

The Dark Side
Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For all my life, I've been pursued
You'd be afraid if you could feel my pain
And if you could see the things I am able to see
Break me out, break me out
Let me flee
Break me out, break me out
I hail from the dark side
For all my life, I've been besieged
You'd be scared living with my despair
And if you could feel the things, I am able to feel
Break me out, break me out
Let me flee
Break me out, break me out
Set me free
Break me out, break me out
Let me flee
Break me out, break me out
Set me free
Save me from the dark side
Break me out, break me out
Set me free
The song "The Dark Side" by Muse is an emotional and introspective exploration of the pain and suffering that someone can experience while living on the dark side. The lyrics speak directly to this experience, with the singer revealing that they have lived in darkness for all their life, and have been relentlessly pursued. The pain that the singer experiences is so intense that they suggest that others would be afraid if they could feel it, or see the things that the singer is able to see.
The chorus of the song, which repeats throughout, suggests an almost desperate plea for release from this darkness, as the singer begs to be broken out and set free. With each repetition, the urgency and intensity of this plea seems to grow, highlighting the weight that this darkness has on the singer's life. Ultimately, the song is about the struggle to break free from the suffering that can be so captivating, and to find a way back into the light.
Overall, "The Dark Side" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the human experience of suffering and the desire for freedom from pain. It is a testament to the talent and insight of the members of Muse, and their ability to create music that truly resonates with their listeners.
