they sounded like they were trying to get into the commercial industry, sounded like they were trying to whip up all the teenages into their music. Then I heard this song and i lost a bit of respect for them. Muse have been my favourite band for nealy 2 years now and i have loved them because they are different and they are arty and i respected that. This couldn't be muse! but it was and i was horrified. and all throughout the whole song i was thinking that there was some mix up. and then when he spoke that first line my eyes grew wider in shock. I had high expectations and it finally came on and as soon as it started i thought 'this is ok'. I heard on triple J that they were going to play the new muse single shortly and i was looking foward to it. I heard supermassive blackhole on triple J for the first time tonight and these was bassically my reactions. He loves the stretch machine, dismembered lotsa lovers, and now found the true love who's sturdy enough to enjoy the S&M thing together with him. His filthy dreams and Balanced S&M lovelife were challengedīut the bitchy shrink could never win it from his love for S&M His psychiatrist tried to challenge and fight his filthy lusts He found someone he could share his Spanish Inquisition style fantasies with.Īnd love her/him eternally for sharing his S&M fantasy with himīut I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had beforeīut he's busy trying to put together the bloody pieces of the former lovers he S&M-ed a little to hard. You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions

He could fall in love with the whole S&M thing He was young, had no grown up S&M intentions yetīut he was determined to go in a hardcore S&M stretching machine to continue his life as an extended being I am not wholly sure if this would be the truth, Matt's lyrics tend to be in-your-face more than complex.īut I am actually swayed to your view, as FUCK ME was this a good analysis :D

I hope you agree with me and look forward to hearing your thoughts on the meaning of the song The recurring glacier and soul alight motifs have been explained already. The constant moaning (oooooooh aaah) is merely the cry of a tortured superstar. You will also note that this song contains a lot more repitition than earlier muse songs.

Galaxies away if you will from his normal sexual activities(see previous post ). Supermassive is again a reference to how powerful she is relative to him, to her he is merely a fool to be toyed with as she pleases.Ģ This line also reiterates the point mentioned earlier: he has been sucked into the dark and seedy world of S&M ( Super Massive), which is like a black hole from which he can see no escape. In this song Matt's lyrics may say "hole"(see explanation of meaning below) but the pronunciation is also meant to sound like whore i.e. In the song Lithium Kurt sings "i love you im not gonna cry/crack. Matt wonders how long before she sells her story to the tabloids.ġ Matt here is borrowing a technique used by Kurt Cobain where he pronounces words in such a way as to create an ambiguity in the mind of the listener. Reference to the superficial supports my theory to the deeper meaning to the song. This is an allusion to the power differential in their relationship - she is the queen(powerfull dominatrix) and he is the fool. This also indicates how painfull the experience was for him.Ģ: Matt is clearly the Superstar in this line, an innocent abroad who has been sucked into the dark and seedy world of S&M. Note the hyperbole - calling the ice cubes glaciers due to their seemingly large size when compared to his small nipples.

We'll deal with this one line at a time.ġ: this is a reference to the black-leather wearing clad dominatrix (supermassive black hole/whore) melting ice cubes onto Matt's sensitive nipples. The chest is where many believe their soul is.Ģ and the superstars sucked into the Supermassive" "you set my soul alight" refers to the burning of his chest with candle-wax. Self Explanatory: Suffering and Moaning!! I believe that these lyrics clearly point towards Matt's love of S&M. Most ppl are dismissing this song as a poppy song with poor lyrics but i think we should all step back and give the lyrics a deeper analysis.
