forget about ur worries and ur strife
My problem with late-era Muse is that any sense of sarcasm or irony is gone, everything is delivered so sincerely. If there's a sense of levity, even the slightest bit where you feel like Bellamy might understand the overwrought seriousness of his lyrics, lines like "your assssssssssssssss" and "it's time the fat cats had a heart attack" would be a lot better. Before, the bombast or intricacy of different songs helped distract from how bad the lyrics can sound at times, but now there's nothing preventing you from pricking up your ears and wondering what the gently caress they were thinking when they wrote some of these songs.

“This is where the story of the album begins, where the protagonist loses hope and becomes ‘Dead Inside’, therefore vulnerable to the dark forces introduced in ‘Psycho’ and which ensue over the next few songs on the album, before eventually defecting, revolting and overcoming these dark forces later in the story.”
