The Globalist
Muse Lyrics

You were never truly loved
The feeling of genuine affection was something that never existed in your life

You've only been betrayed
The trust that you gave to others was always broken and they let you down.

You were never truly nurtured
The care and attention required to help develop you into a healthy, mature individual was always absent.

By churches or the state
Neither religious institutions nor governments offered you the necessary aid.

You left unprotected
You weren't guarded from the dangers of being exposed to the wild and unpredictable nature of the world.

To these wild and fragile lands
And now you're in a place that's characterized by uncharted territory, uncertainty, and instability.

That you could rise up like a god
However, you have the potential to become triumphant and achieve divine status.

Arm yourself, you can be strong
Equip yourself with the tools and knowledge to stand your ground and stay resilient.

You can build a nuclear power
You have the power to employ nuclear technology and generate energy to meet your needs.

Transform the earth to your desire
You can modify the environment to better suit your goals, which are entirely in your control.

Free your mind from false beliefs
Break down the obstacles and preconceived notions that may be hindering your progress and development.

You can be the commander in chief
You have the capability to lead and preside over those that follow you, perhaps as a world leader.

You can hide your true motives
You're able to conceal your actual intentions and objectives, presenting a facade that masks your true goals.

To dismantle and destroy
You possess the ability to deconstruct and demolish elements as you see fit.

Now you finally have good
At this point in time, you've attained something that you perceive to be positive and valuable.

There's no country left
The nations that previously existed are no more, and are not there to be relied upon.

To love and cherish it's bond
There aren't any countries left that you can hold dear and feel linked to.

It's gone for good
This bond is lost forever, never to be recovered.

It's here and maybe
Currently here, maybe suggestive of impermanence and uncertainty.

Survivors
Those who managed to endure and survive through the challenges and difficult times.

To hunt and gather memories
Their task now is to seek out and collect any recollections of the former nation.

Of the great nation we were
These memories are of the once-proud nation that has since crumbled.

There are no countries left
The world has been so broken down that the concept of countries and boundaries no longer exists.

To fight and conquer
There are no other countries to battle against in order to gain victory.

I think I destroyed them all
The world has been ravaged and depleted to such an extent that it feels as though you have caused the destruction.

It's human nature
This tendency to destroy and conquer is a basic human trait.

The greatest
The ultimate, most impressive achievement of all.

Until we'll survive alone
The only option for survival now is to rely solely on oneself and chart a course forward without any external help.

With no one left to love
The world is so barren and broken that no one remains to provide love and support.

A trillion memories last in
Memories remain, however, of the country that had perished.

Space and time forever more
Memories endure eternally, in both the physical world and the span of time.

I just wanted, I just needed to be loved
Despite all of the destructive tendencies and efforts to seize power, at the heart of it all was simply a desire to feel loved and appreciated.
