Description

'Liquid State' is one of two songs on the album written by Chris about his struggle with alcoholism, the other being 'Save Me'. Chris said the song was 'written about the person you become when you're intoxicated and how the two of them are having this fight inside of you and it tears you apart'.

According to some of the latest interviews, this song (Liquid State) is the heaviest song on the entire album.

Information

The song's name was unknown until the 13th July 2012, the day that Muse tweeted the same picture with Dom and the leaked names, but with the working titles replaced by the new album tracking list. It's unknown if this song is linked with one of the others in the board, in the old picture, or if it's another one.

Lyrics

Take me for a ride. Break me up and steal what’s left inside. And hope and pray iniquity has died inside and left a scar.

I’m on red alert. Bring me peace and wash away my dirt. Spin me round and help me to divert and walk into the light.

Warm my heart tonight. Hold my head up high. Help me to survive.

Kick me when I’m down. Feed me poison, fill me till I drown. Wake me up before I get pushed out and fall into the night.

Warm my heart tonight (force me to lose control). Hold my head up high (watch as I lose my soul). Help me to survive (push me until I fall).
