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.

You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween
Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(I love you)
You got me checking my mirror
You make me feel like I'm on the run
Where'd you hide the gun?
The kitchen knife in your hand
Are you the poison, are you the cure?
I'm shackled, there is no way out
I can't escape
When you turn out the lights
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
When you skulk 'round the house
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
You cut me off from my friends
You cut me off from my family
I'm in misery (I'm your number one fan)
Each day I fall to my knees
I see the writing on the wall
Now I'm in withdrawal
I'm shackled, there is no way out (there's is nothing I can do to escape)
I can't escape
When you turn out the lights
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
The way you skulk 'round the house
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
Ah
When you turn out the lights
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
When you skulk 'round the house
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
I see your eye in the keyhole
I feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
Won't rest until I'm possessed
You make me feel like it's Halloween (Halloween)
It's Halloween (Halloween)
(But you are the caretaker)
The lyrics to Muse's song, "You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween," are about a dark and intense relationship. The singer is struggling to escape from someone who they're unsure is the "poison" or the "cure." This is emphasized in the lines, "Are you the poison, are you the cure? I'm not so sure." The song describes the feeling of being "shackled" and unable to escape from the one who has "cut off" the singer from their friends and family. The singer is in "misery" and on their knees, seeing the writing on the wall. The lines "I see your eye in the keyhole, I feel like it's Halloween" also add to the feeling of being spied on and trapped.
The refrain of the song repeats the line "You make me feel like it's Halloween," which creates an eerie and unsettling atmosphere. The use of the word "skulk" also adds to this feeling. The mention of a kitchen knife and the question "Where'd you hide the gun?" adds to the feeling of danger and uncertainty. The song's overall mood is dark and foreboding, further emphasizing the feeling of being trapped in a relationship that is causing fear and pain.
