1000 Words Into The Essay (out Of 1500), And The Lyrics Are Complete. I Am The King Of Productivity.

1000 words into the essay (out of 1500), and the lyrics are complete. I am the king of productivity.

I went to write an essay for uni today and had to stop because my brain decided to come up with a song BASED ON THE TOPIC I'M WRITING THE ESSAY ABOUT.

Anyway, it's about the Theory of Correspondences and the bridge lyrics are going to be a stanza from some French poetry written by Baudelaire.

muse rly was spitting fire when they did a rock/dubstep remix of the laws of thermodynamics and said “an economy based on endless growth is unsustainable” *beat drop*

Been reading a ton of old Muse interviews and news articles (shout out to Musewiki), and some of the ideas and circumstances that spawned their songs are such bizarre surprise twists. The self-explanatory backstories aside (see: classical music nerd Matt, Origin of Symmetry and shrooms), you also have these gems:

Wanted to make something that sounds like the Strokes: got Starlight instead

Wanted something like Billie Jean: Time Is Running Out

Oh no my guitar broke, guess I'll just yell that part instead: Muscle Museum

Matt goes on holiday at a tropical island paradise: Megalomania

My hometown sucks: Falling Down

Actually, I'm really homesick: Something Human

Dom had a random funky James Brown beat lying around: Citizen Erased

Matt poking fun at his own speech impediment: Propaganda

Really upsetting breakup: Neutron Star Collision

9/11 was stressful for everyone: Dead Star, In Your World

The recession was a Very Bad Thing: Animals

Let's go clubbing in New York: Supermassive Black Hole

A guitar riff so hard it's played by Chris on bass instead: Hysteria

Dehydrated Matt starts hallucinating: Micro Cuts

The sounds every baby makes ever when learning to talk: Madness

Citizen Erased, now with more apocalypse: The Globalist

Matt listens to his dad's old band: Knights of Cydonia

That riff is too redneck, 16 years later: Psycho

What if dubstep but analog: The 2nd Law: Unsustainable

What if heavy metal but piano: Space Dementia

What if surf rock but homicidal: Assassin (Grand Omega Bosses edit)

Our songs are too negative, let's be inspirational for once: Invincible

Hey, technology isn't that bad: the entirety of Simulation Theory

Um, the chorus of Agitated??? Who gave them the fucking right????

Beautiful, gorgeous, I want it permanently etched into my brain.
