The third track off of Absolution, and the second single. It was one of the last songs recorded for the album. The single’s B-Side is The Groove.
Like most of Muse songs, it’s a song adressed to another, but this another and the narrator are both unintentified. The overall lyricism of the song is...
[Verse 1]
I think I'm drowning, asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell that you've created
You're something beautiful, a contradiction
I wanna play the game, I want the friction
You will be the death of me
Yeah, you will be the death of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
[Chorus]
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
[Verse 2]
I wanted freedom, bound and restricted
I tried to give you up but I'm addicted
Now that you know I'm trapped, sense of elation
You'd never dream of breaking this fixation
You will squeeze the life out of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
[Chorus]
An' our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
[Post-Chorus]
How did it come to this?
Oo-oo-ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oo-oo-ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oo-oo-ooh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah, you will suck the life out of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
[Chorus]
An' our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
[Post-Chorus]
How did it come to this?
Oo-oo-ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oo-oo-ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oo-oo-ooh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
