| According to Matt, this is one of the two songs that talk about love; in 'Aftermath' the protagonist finds love again.<ref name="MattBellamyTripleJ2015/03/23">{{cite|title = Triple J - Matt Bellamy, Muse: 'Dead Inside' is about "losing the idea of love"|desc=Audio|date=2015-03-23|auth=Matt Bellamy|url= https://soundcloud.com/triple_j/matt-bellamy-muse-dead-inside-is-about-losing-the-idea-of-love|dom=Soundcloud|fetch=2015-03-23|type=ext }}</ref> The song is said to be the opposite of [[Dead Inside (song)|Dead Inside]].

| Matt wrote the song after watching the film “Fury” starring
| |
| Brad Pitt, thinking in a scene of the movie: “The bit in the middle where they going into a flat and there’s a couple of girls there and you think it’s going to get wrong, things are going to get dark side but end having this lovely moment”" also Mutt Lange shown up his true colors with this song, according to Matt, when they were recording the song, he keep saying: “Just jamming it man, just play it heavy, go for it” and after recording it he said “listen boys, this is the song”.<ref>

| The song starts off with the sound of wind, soon joined by violins and synths. Guitars then make up a Hendrix-style ballad.<ref>

| |
| Later on in the song bass and drums join into the slow rhythm and the song stays quite soft until an all-together ending. The whole song is very pop-rock.
| |
| In this song, the protagonist also regains his faith in humanity<ref>

| |
|
| |
| This is the only Drones song that hasn't been played live yet, though it's believed to have been rehearsed multiple times.

|
| |
| == Intrumentation ==
| |
| The song sounds very similiar to the vocals of "Soaked", one of their unreleased songs.
| |
| It contains backing vocals by [[Robert "Mutt" Lange]].
| |
| The song starts out eerie, with a sound of wind and a monk, but later kicks in into a mellow Pink Floyd style guitar based song. After the solo it builds up and backing vocals kick in alongside a guitar solo, that is featured in the background. It also contains some Queen-esque elements.
