This song was written by Muse’s bassist Chris Wolstenholme. The lyrics were mainly driven by his alcohol abuse in the past and how it affected him on a consistent basis. The song’s about the person you turn into when intoxicated and the internal struggle to stave it off. The song has a very downhill...
[Verse 1: Chris Wolstenholme]
Take me for a ride
Break me up and steal what's left inside
And hope and pray iniquity has died inside and left a scar
I'm on red alert
Bring me peace and wash away my dirt
Spin me round and help me to divert and walk into the light
[Chorus: Chris Wolstenholme]
Warm my heart tonight
And hold my head up high
And help me to survive
[Verse 2: Chris Wolstenholme]
Kick me when I'm down
Feed me poison, fill me till I drown
Wake me up before I get pushed out and fall into the night
[Chorus: Chris Wolstenholme]
Warm my heart tonight
(Force me to lose control)
And hold my head up high
(Watch as I lose my soul)
And help me to survive
(Push me until I fall)
