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.
This song has been compared to Prince, Talking Heads, and David Bowie.
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). It also marks the first time Matt has sworn on an album 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.
