Theme & Lyrics

“You really believe / We can survive all of this?” Well… “The black vacuum of the universe, it was designed / To swallow us whole / It’s a losing game.” Um…okay… It is official – we’re fucked! Actually, per Matthew Bellamy and Muse, we’re not merely fucked, “We Are Fucking Fucked”! It is the Will Of The People, baby – track 10, specifically.  Woo!

What has Matthew Bellamy hurting our virgin ears with double f-bombs? Basically, on this outlandish closer from Will Of The People, the world is in a horrible state.  Some examples arrive in the pre-chorus as Bellamy highlights, “Another world war,” “wildfires,” and “a life in crisis, a deadly virus.” True, very true.  Also, in the second verse, the pessimism continues as Bellamy informs us, “But you’re living a lie / The game is rigged.” Ah!!! Indeed, “We are getting fucking fucked!”

Final Thoughts

All told, it is safe to say that Muse do not spare us in the least for under consent of the king. Bellamy says some form of fuck at least 20 times! Not that is some fuckery right there! Apparently, there are a lot of Fs given by the Grammy-winning collective!
