I believe that this is a love song, but not in the traditional sense. The love is that he has for his fellow man, and specifically the individual listener who cares to truly listen and understand his somewhat cryptic message.

The song starts off as a dedication of sorts, to the moment that we have all been in when it seems like all is lost and there is no hope. The last line in this verse reminds the listener to remember that he/she is unique and that this reason alone is enough to fight and live on.

“Follow through
Make your dreams come true
Don’t give up the fight
You will be alright
‘Cause there’s no one like you in the universe ”

The next verse is almost akin to speech at a political rally, or a mass populist uprising. The music video for this song is basically a parody of Disney “It’s a small world” ride. Think of Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States” which tells a less censored view of what has really been going on all these years. At the end of the day, most people do not want to fight, but people seem to be constantly compelled for some reason or another.

Don’t be afraid
What your mind conceives
You should make a stand
Stand up for what you believe
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we’re invincible

Now, what is the struggle and who is “they” that will pull us down? Muse openly refers to conspiracy theories and the New world order, especially in connection with the B&R album. A little research into conspiracy theories will give you an idea of what the writer is referring to. I believe the “chance: we have to “turn things around” as a common people is the fact that there is a mass awakening occurring right now and that with so many people in “the know” now, we may be able to resist our tyrannical controllers.

During the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please
Let’s use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we’re invincible

It is widely known that the traditional methods of resistance, that of organizing and having a leader has been self defeating. The only way to beat the system is to go it alone, be your own leader, trust yourself. He’s basically saying to the listener, just because I’m asking you to take a stand doesn’t mean I want you to think of me as your leader, just like any leader, he can’t possibly care about you more than you do. And finally, there is no reason to fear death because the soul lives on.

Do it on your own
It makes no difference to me
What you leave behind
What you choose to be
And whatever they say
Your souls unbreakable
