== Description ==
[[Matthew Bellamy]]: "It's an expression of what it feels like to be questioned. I spend more time than most people being asked about purpose, and it's a strange feeling. I don't really have the answers and I have to respond on the knowledge I have obtained so far, but the problem is that it gets printed, and something else has come along that's made you completely disagree with what you said".<ref>Rock Sound - 2001</ref>
It was written around a drum beat that [[Dominic Howard]] composed, matt said: "On Citizen Erased, Dom came in one day with this funky James Brown beat and Chris just started playing along. I then applied the chord structure that I already had and it suddenly became a full-on metal track out of nowhere. Because it was so heavy for so long we decided to add another song on to the end of it."  <ref>Guitarist Magazine - What all the Hullabaloo is about. [september 2002]</ref>
The song could also be a reference to [[George Orwell | Orwell]]'s ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]'' in which citizens are erased and lies control society.
When asked about [[The Globalist (song)|The Globalist]] and Citizen Erased, Matt referred to them as "opposites": "I guess Citizen Erased is loosely about a person disappearing into nothing, declining to take control/power and choosing to fade from memory rather than embrace the chaos; feeling trampled and bowing away."<ref>

=== Live ===
The first live performance of Citizen Erased had the outro played on guitar rather than keyboard.  The keyboard outro was introduced at least as early as the 12{{supo|th}} April 2001 - no recording exists between the first performance and then.
A different riff replaced the guitar solo towards the middle of the song during the [[Absolution (album) | Absolution]] tour.  During the 2006 tour, the vocals of the instrumental between the final chorus and final verse were removed.  These returned partially by [[Paris Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy 2006 - 15th (gig) | Paris-Bercy, 15{{supo|th}} December 2006]], or possibly sometime prior on the late 2006 European tour.  Additional drumming was added during this interlude on the aforementioned date.
Citizen Erased is the only song where the [[Manson 7 String E Guitar | 7 String E Guitar]] is used.  Coincidentally, it is assumed a six-string was used to record this song, thought to be the [[Manson Delorean | Delorean]], as a [[Z.Vex Fuzz Factory | Fuzz Factory]] is featured in the solo, and early photos of said guitar show a bass string in place of the low E string, in order to accommodate drop A tuning. Matt owned both guitars at the time of recording, so it can't be said for sure which guitar(s) he used.
The song was played regularly during The Resistance Tour, made occasional appearances during the The 2nd Law Tour, and regularly during the Drones Tour.

== Music trivia ==
For the week starting 9{{supo|th}} July 2007, some members of [[Muselive.com]] and other fan-sites attempted to get Citizen Erased into the UK charts.  It eventually reached position N{{supt|o}} 122.  Jesting about the song's popularity three years later, Matthew Bellamy commented "[...] so we've got to change our website I think to uh— from Muse.mu to CitizenErased.com", before performing it [[Manchester Old Trafford Cricket Ground 2010 (gig) | within Old Trafford Cricket Ground]].
During the [[The Resistance (album) | Resistance]] tour in Sydney on the 9{{supo|th}} of December, Bellamy dedicated "Citizen Arrested" to Julian Assange, the Australian WikiLeaks founder who had been arrested in Sweden regarding alleged sexual offences just days earlier before the song.
