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.

Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I TRY I TRY DO EVERYTHING FOR US
SHOUND I KEEP YOU WITH ME
OR LET MY HEART SAFE
ALL THOSES MISTAKES I CAN´T ERRASE
NO NO NO NO NO
I FUCKING LOVE YOU
ESSA VADIA DIZ QUE QUER MEU KARMA
O MEU AMOR ME TROCOU POR OUTRA
QUE IRONIA ESSA VIDA
EU ME SENTIR TÃO SOZINHA
É O QUE DÁ TER MELANINA
ME DISSERAM UM DIA
QUE EU NUNCA IA FICAR...
QUE EU SEMPRE IA SER SOZINHA
EMPILHANDO O CASH BABY
CONTRADIZENDO SUAS EXPECTIVAS
APESAR DOS TRAÇOS FINOS BAE
EU NÃO TO À VENDA NO SEU CASSINO
A MULTIDÃO GRITA MEU NOME
AS MINHAS LETRAS VIBRAM BABY
EU QUERO OS FLASHES EU QUERO A FAMA
EU QUERO TUDO QUE VOCÊS ME DEVEM
EU NUNCA ME ISOLEI
EU SEMPRE ESTIVE AQUI
VOCÊS QUE FINGIAM NÃO ME VER
VAI TER QUE ME ENGOLIR
BABY EU TÔ NA TV
EU SEI, AGORA VAI ME CONHECER
MUITO VELOZ
OLHA ESSA VOZ
VAI TER QUE SUAR
E NÃO VAI ME ALCANÇAR
ESSA VADIA QUER MEU KARMA
O MEU AMOR ME TROCOU POR OUTRA
QUE IRONIA ESSA VIDA
EU ME SENTIR TÃO SOZINHA
É O QUE DÁ TER MELANINA
ME DISSERAM UM DIA
QUE EU NUNCA IA FICAR...
QUE EU SEMPRE IA SER SOZINHA
The first set of lyrics in Muse's song "You Fucking Motherfucker" captures the internal conflict and emotional turmoil of a relationship that seems to be filled with mistakes and uncertainties. The singer acknowledges their efforts to do everything for their partner, but questions whether they should continue to keep that person close to their heart or protect themselves. Despite the mistakes that cannot be erased, the singer expresses a deep and intense love for their partner, even though it seems to be a source of pain and frustration for them.
The second set of lyrics delves into a sense of betrayal and loneliness experienced by the singer. They reference someone who wanted their "karma" and suggest that their love has been replaced by another person, leading to feelings of irony and isolation. The mention of "melanin" possibly hints at issues of race or identity, with the singer feeling misunderstood and judged by others who predicted they would always be alone.
Moving on to the third set of lyrics, the singer asserts their independence and resistance against conforming to societal expectations. They emphasize their autonomy and worth, rejecting the idea of being for sale in someone else's "casino." The portrayal of empowerment and self-assurance in the face of external pressures adds layers of defiance and strength to the narrative.
In the final set of lyrics, the singer claims their place in the spotlight and demands recognition and validation for their talent and presence. They express a desire for fame and acknowledgment, challenging those who may have overlooked or underestimated them in the past. The mention of being on TV and the anticipation of being truly seen and known suggests a longing for validation and acceptance on a larger scale. The overall theme of defiance, self-assertion, and the craving for recognition permeates the song, reflecting a complex mix of emotions and experiences in relationships and personal identity.
