Another song where Bellamy is in character, dealing with his atheism. As the title suggests, it concerns the thoughts of a dying atheist, who is scared because he does not believe in Heaven or Hell or any postmortem plane of existence. Now, at the moment of his death, he must face the disheartening...
[Verse 1]
Eerie whispers trapped beneath my pillow
Won't let me sleep, your memories
And I know you're in this room, I'm sure I heard you sigh
Floating in between where our worlds collide
[Chorus]
Scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, woah
[Verse 2]
And I know the moment's near
And there's nothing we can do
Look through a faithless eye
Are you afraid to die? Yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, woah
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, woah

Vocalist Matt Belamy shared in the Muse: Absolution Tour:
Songs like “Thoughts of a Dying Atheist” sing about the idea trying to maintain anything your beliefs own, trying to deal with the idea, recognition of dead sense at the same time, is a very difficult thing I think.
