| I can see where people are coming from with the eating disorder angle but i think its kind of wider then just eating disorder. could more apply to any mental disorder, well thats how i see it anyway. People are reaching out to them and they refuse to accept any help, thinking in a way i guess that they aren't doing anything hugely wrong. but they know that there actions are being constantly judged "Come in my cave, and arrest me for my mistakes" I suppose the meaning changes on the person. one of muses more angsty songs, though id never call muse angsty, they are past that. i just love this song, my favourite song on showbiz | |

| I always thought this song was about manic depression. Perhaps Matt was going through a rough phase in his life and felt he didn't need to be bothered by idiots who'll just piss him off even more. The lines "please close your ears and try to look away" and "there's nothing you can do" perhaps suggest that the only way to deal with his anger is to let it all out verbally and perhaps physically too. Anyone who tries to 'come in his cave' (ie not mind their own business) will be on the receiving end of his nasty side ("I'll burn your heart away"). "Arrest me for my mistakes" = Sue me for being a little bit messed up. ;) | |

| according to matt "apparently when men are stressed they go into a cave" i dunno, its just about a time he was stressed, or a "...friend who is no longer a friend" is stressed. hard to interpret if it is about something else. | |

| I have a recording of Muse playing at Triple J's 'Live at the Wireless' in Australia back a couple of years... Matt Bellamy's simple description of this song before they start to play it, is as such: "This song is about a friend, who is no longer a friend..." | |

| before i give my opinion of this i'd just like to say that MUSE ROCK AND THEY ARE THE BEST AND MOST TALENTED BAND EVER.anyway, now that's out of my system, i love this song and have always taken it to be about someone who has an eating disorder telling their loved ones to leave them alone, and that even though their friends, family etc can see what it's doing to the person, the person concerned is telling them that they can't do anything about it, and just wants to be left alone- hence the "cave" reference. i dunno, any other suggestions? xxx Lou "Giving money and power to Government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys." -- P.J.
