According to Matt, in this track along with Revolt, the protagonist of the story takes again control of his life and fights against the dark forces who are trying to control him.<ref name="MattBellamy2015/03/23">{{cite|title = Matt Bellamy on BBC Radio 1 - Dead Inside Premiere|desc=News|date=2015-03-23|auth=Matt Bellamy|url= |dom=|fetch=2015-03-23|type=ext }}</ref>
 
In this song the protagonist begins to feel "free" from the system and the society as a whole, and Matt uses different "colorful images" to describe the person trying to control him.<ref>

}}</ref>. The term 'Yellow belly' is an expression meaning 'coward', 'Green mind' is a slang for someone who's dirty minded or greedy and "Blue blood" is a reference to royal blood.
 
The song's making of video was leaked/uploaded on Vimeo on March 29th, 2015. The song is reminiscent of 80s hard rock, and has a Queen and an AC/DC feel to it.
 
== Instrumentation ==
The song is played fairly heavily, but in a major key. The vocals feature very Queen-like choir moments. The guitar is distorted, as well as the bass that stands out in the verses. It features an extensive use of Whammy pedal, including a Whammy pedal solo.
 
==Trivia==
According to Matt, this song was the hardest one to record, alongside [[The Globalist (song)|The Globalist]], and took the longest amount of time. Muse recorded the song in a couple of days, but they later realised it is too fast. They dropped the tempo by 1 BPM, recorded it again, and realised it was too slow, so they had to make a compromise and record it 0.5 BPM faster.
 
==Live==
 
Defector has been a fan favourite off of the album, with many fans begging for it to be played live before its debut. By September, half of the album had still yet to be played live (the entire latter half of the album after JFK). It made its debut at the Music for Life gig on September 16 2015 and made no further appearances until may 2016. The gig was viewed as "special" for one reason or another, as Agitated and United States of Eurasia were also performed (two songs that had been played very rarely during the tour).

== Analysis and Explanation ==
==Lyrics==
Take a Bow was played at many of the gigs during the Black Holes and Revelations tour, leading to a high number of performances. Unlike other non-single songs from the album, Take a Bow was played consistently often during 2006, 2007 and 2008 and skipped only at a few gigs. During The Resistance tour, the song was brought back in 2010 with a few scattered performances during the European tour and rare appearances in October and December. After only three performances in 2011, the song was dropped from the setlists, making no appearances during The 2nd Law era.


On March 1st, 2016, the song made a surprise appearance for the first time in five years at the fourth night of the Paris Bercy Arena gigs as the first song of the Encore. It continued to make regular appearances until the end of the Drones World Tour, being dropped for festival gigs. It returned the next year and made occasional appearances at shows. It was included as part of the setlist in the [[Simulation Theory World Tour]], though it was played half a step down. During the performances, Matt sings the first verse while holding a skull - seemingly representing the simulation war lords that have corrupted society in this reality.

Information

Muse recording Defector

Defector it’s about making your own decisions by yourself.[1]

According to Matt, in this track along with Revolt, the protagonist of the story takes again control of his life and fights against the dark forces who are trying to control him.[2]

In this song the protagonist begins to feel "free" from the system and the society as a whole, and Matt uses different "colorful images" to describe the person trying to control him.[3]. The term 'Yellow belly' is an expression meaning 'coward', 'Green mind' is a slang for someone who's dirty minded or greedy and "Blue blood" is a reference to royal blood.

The song's making of video was leaked/uploaded on Vimeo on March 29th, 2015. The song is reminiscent of 80s hard rock, and has a Queen and an AC/DC feel to it.

Instrumentation

The song is played fairly heavily, but in a major key. The vocals feature very Queen-like choir moments. The guitar is distorted, as well as the bass that stands out in the verses. It features an extensive use of Whammy pedal, including a Whammy pedal solo.

Trivia

According to Matt, this song was the hardest one to record, alongside The Globalist, and took the longest amount of time. Muse recorded the song in a couple of days, but they later realised it is too fast. They dropped the tempo by 1 BPM, recorded it again, and realised it was too slow, so they had to make a compromise and record it 0.5 BPM faster.

Live

Defector has been a fan favourite off of the album, with many fans begging for it to be played live before its debut. By September, half of the album had still yet to be played live (the entire latter half of the album after JFK). It made its debut at the Music for Life gig on September 16 2015 and made no further appearances until may 2016. The gig was viewed as "special" for one reason or another, as Agitated and United States of Eurasia were also performed (two songs that had been played very rarely during the tour).

Lyrics

Free, yeah, I'm free

From your inciting You can't brainwash me You've got a problem

Free, yeah I’m free From society. You can't control me I'm a defector.

You think you're strong And you can't be broken But you empire is dissolving.

You thought, You thought I was weak But you got it wrong Look into my eyes, I'm a defector.

Free, yeah I’m free from your inciting You can't brainwash me You've got a problem

Free, yeah I’m free From society You can't control me, I'm a defector.

Your blood is blue and Your minds turned green and Your belly is all yellow.

You believe Your throne is too high To be overthrown We'll watch it get razed By a defector

Free, yeah I’m free From your inciting You can't brainwash me You've got a problem

Free, yeah I’m free From society You can’t control me. I’m a defector

I'm a defector Free, yeah I’m free From your inciting You can't brainwash me You've got a problem

Free, yeah I’m free From society You can’t control me. I’m a defector
