Big Freeze
Muse (The 2nd Law) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Healed, or are you still just reeling?
Are you fine? Have you found
A way to escape?
Are you there, just because I need you?
Can we hole up, a big freeze
Is headind our way?

We are on a hiding to nowhere
We still hope, but our dreams
Are not the same
And I, I lost before I started
I'm collapsing in stellar clouds of gas

Hear me
What words just can't convey
Feel me
Don't let the sun in your heart decay

Fight, or will you show me mercy?
We've expelled, the goodness
From our hearts
Are you here, just to prove you're winning?
Can we hole up, and ride out this electrical storm?

We destroyed something beautiful
We have faith, but our truths
Are not the same
Don't give up, don't let the magic leave us
Stop the loneliest force becoming
King of the universe

Hear me
What words just can't convey
Feel me
Don't you let the sun in your heat decay

Don't give up, don't let the magic leave us
We're collapsing in stellar clouds of gas

Hear me
What words just can't convey




Feel me
I won't let the sun in your heart decay

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Muse's song "Big Freeze" appear to be about the end of a relationship or a friendship. The singer seems to be asking the other person if they have moved on or if they are still struggling to heal from the breakup. The singer also seems to suggest that they need the other person "just because [they] need [them]." The lines "Can we hole up, a big freeze is heading our way?" suggest that a difficult or challenging situation is on the horizon, and the singer is asking if they can be together to face it.


The singer then reflects on the fact that they both used to have dreams and hope, but now their "truths are not the same." The phrase "I'm collapsing in stellar clouds of gas" suggests a feeling of falling apart or losing oneself. The singer's repeated request to "hear me" and to "feel me" seem to express a desire for connection and validation from the other person. The final lines of the song suggest a plea to not give up and to keep the magic alive, even if things are difficult.


Overall, "Big Freeze" seems to be a heartfelt and emotional song about the challenges of relationships and the desire for human connection in the face of difficult times.
