According to Matt Bellamy, "''Compliance is about the promise of safety and reassurance sold to us by powerful entities during times of vulnerability.

They want us to join their narrow worldview in exchange for obedience and turning a blind eye to our own internal voice of reason & compassion.

Lyrics
Compliance
We just need your compliance You will feel no pain anymore And no more defiance We just need your
Compliance Just give us your compliance We won’t let you feel lost anymore No more self-reliance
Fall into line, you will do as you’re told No choice fatigue, your blood is running cold We lose control, the world will fall apart Love of your life, will mend your broken heart
Life lived in fear, you need protection, You’re all alone, too much rejection, We have what you need, just reach out and serve We can save you (Save you) We just need your
Compliance We just need your compliance You will feel no pain anymore No more defiance Just give us your compliance
Cover your tracks, we know what’s best for you You’ve bitten off much more than you can chew You’re running scared, you’ll run into our arms Come join our clique, we’ll keep you safe from harm
Our toy soldier, you’ll do the dirty work Stay loyal to us, we’ll take away the hurt We have what you need, just reach out and serve We can save you (Save you) just give us your
Compliance We just need your compliance You will feel no pain anymore No more defiance Just give us your compliance
Compliance We just need your compliance You will feel no pain anymore And no more defiance
Compliance We just need your compliance You will feel no pain anymore And no more defiance
We just need your compliance
Oh, fear is controlling you It’s time to give it up And give into us (We can save you, save you) Give us your compliance
