Take a Bow -- Clearly about Volturi
Time is Running Out -- Clearly about mortality
Stockholm Syndrome -- New Moon
Invincible -- Breaking Dawn
Yes, yes this IS an emergency. Because I read twilight and I want to listen to Muse. I listen to Muse, and all I think is vampires. Oh well, I guess there are some things I will just have to learn to live with...
Muse, Paraphrased
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
This is the last time I will abandon you
This is the last time I will forget you
I wish I could cast a spell on the country you run, and you will think I'm drowning I wanna break this spell and risk all their lives and their souls and corrupt all that you touch will be the death of me lips are turning blue I only dream of you if you promise not to fade away give me your last chance to lose control how long before you let me go? ooooooooooh come on and spread a sense of urgency, I declare this an emergency!
What is your favorite vampire-ish Musing?
“Time is Running Out” is the clear winner, but Muse could not possibly have been writing about anything other than Bella and Edward for the entire “Absolution” album.
ReplyDeleteEdward, a montage of lyrics:
this love's too good to last
and i'm too old to dream,
so I'll love whatever you become
and forget the reckless things we've done
I think our lives have just begun
[holy bloodsucker, this next one is eerily relevant]
staying awake to chase a dream
tasting the air you're breathing in
I know I won't forget a thing
Repress and restrain
Steal the pressure and the pain
Wash the blood off your hands
This time she won't understand
Hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
Hopelessly I'll give you everything
But I won't give you up
I won't let you down
And I won't leave you falling
If the moment ever comes
[And Bella’s voice is here too:]
and I know you're in this room
I'm sure I heard you sigh
Floating in between
where our worlds collide
[And very notably in “Butterflies and Hurricanes.” It’s practically her theme song for becoming a vampire:]
change,
everything you are
and everything you were
your number has been called
fights, battles have begun
revenge will surely come
your hard times are ahead
best,
you've got to be the best
you've got to change the world
and you use this chance to be heard
your time is now
[clearly all a conspiracy.]
Awwwwwwww. Why didn't they just use muse songs for the entire soundtrack? There should be Twilight music videos for every song.
