Unnatural Selection
Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lucky don't care at all
No chance for fate
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth
I'm hungry for some unrest
I wanna push it beyond a peaceful protest
I wanna speak in a language that they'll understand
Dedication to a new age
Is this the end of destruction and rampage?
Another chance to erase and then repeat it again
Counter balance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean
They'll laugh as they watch us fall
The lucky don't care at all
No chance for fate (hey, hey, hey)
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth
No religion or mind virus
Is there a hope that the facts would ever find us?
Just make sure that you are looking out for number one
And I'm hungry for some unrest
Well, let's push it beyond a peaceful protest
I wanna speak in a language that you will understand
Counter balance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean
They'll laugh as they watch us crawl
The lucky don't share at all
No hope for fate (hey, hey, hey)
It's a random chance selection
I want the truth
Try to ride out the storm
Whilst they'll make you believe
They are the special ones
(We have not been chosen)
We trust
This is enough
You won't be the first
And you know that you won't be the last
Counter balance this commotion
We're not droplets in the ocean
Ocean, ocean, ocean
They'll laugh as they watch us fall
And the lucky, they don't care at all
No chance for fate (hey, hey, hey)
It's unnatural selection
I want the truth, I want the truth
And I want the truth, I want the truth
The lyrics of "Unnatural Selection" by Muse delve into the theme of social and political unrest. In the first verse, the singer acknowledges that those in power have the advantage and will not be affected by the downfall of society. The line "no chance for fate, it's unnatural selection" implies that luck rather than fate will dictate who falls or rises. The singer demands truth and unrest, beyond just peaceful protests, to incite change that will be heard and understood by those in positions of power.
In the second verse, the singer questions the impact of religion or ideology in shaping one's views of the world. They emphasize the importance of looking out for oneself and finding the truth rather than blindly following a belief or system. The chorus repeats the idea that society is being controlled by an unnatural selection, where the lucky ones who hold power do not care for the rest. The final lines emphasize the importance of speaking out and taking action, even if it's only "counter balancing the commotion".
