Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Steve Wanna Be	#1 by Steve at Jul 24, 2006 at 3:26 AM EST
	Actually, "fairies" could make just as much sense. They are "castles in the air"; mere fantasy. It's difficult to imagine what this song might be about without knowing much about the band and/or their views, but like other songs appear to be perhaps its politically themed, or similarly, perhaps it is regarding religion. But the idea of religion might be a ridiculous interpretation, especially because the words "belief" and "divine" are used, among some of the other terminology that hints at some kind of authoritative control. They could be metaphorical for something else. Unfortunately, I'm very tired at the moment and don't know what they/it could be. :o/ Perhaps someone else will come along with an intruiging interpretation.

No Picture Bass Chicks are Average	#2 by Bass Chicks are HOTTTT at Jul 26, 2006 at 5:02 AM EST
	God, this song is so amazing! I really love the instramental section. I just wanna dance so badly every time I hear it!

No Picture mike Average	#3 by mike rojas at Nov 2, 2006 at 12:56 AM EST
	This continues the themes of revolt in Exo-Politics and Assassin. I absolutely love the Mexican and somewhat Middle Eastern feelings in this song- very interesting forays into different styles. The Spanish element is also in the next song, Hoodoo, even more obviously. This song seems to be the climax of the revolutionary movement suggested by this album.

No Picture A.D.D. Wanna Be	#4 by A.D.D. at Nov 22, 2006 at 4:28 PM EST
	Hmm, I think you people are retarded. Something tells me MUSE doesn't give a shit about U.S. politics, being as they are British and spend very little time in the U.S.

No Picture =====$4M===== Average	#5 by =====$4M===== at Dec 22, 2006 at 8:07 PM EST
	No way! This is about the "Illuminati", like the rest of this album, and Absolution is about it too. Matt get "involved" in this scary stuff when he read "Ruled By Secrecy"... In my point of view the city of delusions is a society where we may think that we are free, but that is an ilusion... cause we are ruled by secrecy, ruled by "the All Seeing Eye" (the big brother), and we are apathic about it cause we don´t care. Get informed about Illuminati and you´ll understand what i´m talking about lolol... Sorry about my english... :S

No Picture Brian Average	#6 by Brian Crow at Feb 1, 2007 at 4:35 PM EST
	like the spanish guitars and the change of mood on the song , and the orchestra did a wonderful job on this one .

No Picture Charley Rhythm Player	#7 by Charley Hockin at Feb 9, 2007 at 8:49 AM EST
	si, fully agree with that one! in my german enviroment, I could also see parallels to Hitler and his Nazis who build the 1000 year lasting German Empire ;-) which of course was jsut delusional, too. well don't really wanna see this connection, but maybe this seems so, because there are parallels between ... dont mind ;-)

No Picture Aaron Wanna Be	#8 by Aaron schmidt at Mar 7, 2007 at 6:02 AM EST
	It's "Justify my reasons with your blood" Matt said it in a interview.

No Picture Chris Average	#9 by Chris Dunn at Mar 29, 2007 at 4:06 AM EST
	Agree with lucky, not with Gabriel88. America started the war, there is no way it isn't about DC in some way or form.

No Picture Sari Average	#10 by Sari W at May 5, 2007 at 12:10 AM EST
	this song kicks ass, and i think many of u guys r right...
