Description

According to Matt, in the Radio 1 interview after 'Survival', this track features brass. Muse have cited Prince as the inspiration for the 80's effects on the track. The song is described as having a "hysteric" feel, which is reflected in demented 80's elements such as backwards 'Let's Dance' drumbeats and riffs reminiscent of INXS' 'Suicide Blonde.' It features more gasping vocals from Matt. "That's 'Scary Monsters' Bowie meets Primus," said Matt. "Doing a funk track was for us remembering Rush and Primus, the more slap-bass things we liked." "Those big, spacious, wet, massive drum sounds," added Dom. "It started to conjure up memories of songs we'd listened to or grew up on in the 80's by Prince and Stevie Wonder and we wanted to take it in that direction."[1]

According to the French magazine, Jeuxactu, this song has a "bounding bassline." They've also said that Panic Station is very likely to become a radio hit.

Information

By error of Bellamy, Howard, Wolstenholme or Kirk, the name of the song was leaked by a photo on Twitter, until it was deleted.

Trivia

Panic Station is one of three studio recorded songs with swearing in it (Crying Shame and Hidden track).

Lyrics

You won’t get much closer Until you sacrifice it all You won’t get to taste it With your face against the wall

Get up and commit Show the power trapped within Do just what you want to Now stand up and begin

Ooh, 1, 2, 3, 4 fire’s in your eyes And this chaos it defies imagination 5, 6, 7, 8 minus 9 lives You’ve arrived at panic station

Doubts will try to break you Unleash your heart and soul Trouble will surround you Start taking some control

Stand up and deliver Your wildest fantasy Do what the fuck you want to There’s no one to appease

Ooh, 1, 2, 3, 4 fire’s in your eyes And this chaos it defies imagination 5, 6, 7, 8 minus 9 lives You’ve arrived at panic station

Ooh, 1, 2, 3, 4 fire’s in your eyes And this chaos it defies imagination 5, 6, 7, 8 minus 9 lives And i know you will fight for the duration Ooh, 1, 2, 3, 4 fire’s in your eyes And you know I’m not resisting your temptations 5, 6, 7, 8 minus 9 lives You’ve arrived at panic station
