Recording
The song was one of the first on The Resistance described by the band before recording began, describing it as "sound[ing] a little like ‘New Year’s Day" by U2.[3]
Information
"Resistance" opens with piano and drums and has a Queen-esque chorus.[2] Described in NME magazine as having "tribals drums and a piano melody in the style of 'Starlight.'"[4] In the September 2009 issue of Spin, Matt said, "The song 'Resistance' is basically a retelling of the relationship between Winston and Julia," in reference to the two main characters of George Orwell's 1984.
Lyrics
Is our secret safe tonight and are we out of sight or will our world come tumbling down? Will they find our hiding place is this our last embrace or will the walls start caving in? It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should've been right It could be wrong, could be wrong, to let our hearts ignite It could be wrong, could be wrong, are we digging a hole? It could be wrong, could be wrong, this is out of control It could be wrong, could be wrong, it could never last It could be wrong, could be wrong, must erase it fast It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it could've been right It could be wrong, could be.... Love is our resistance They'll keep us apart and they won't stop breaking us down Hold me Our lips must always be sealed If we live a life in fear I'll wait a thousand years Just to see you smile again Kill your prayers for love and peace You'll wake the thought police We can't hide the truth inside It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should've been right It could be wrong, could be wrong, to let our hearts ignite It could be wrong, could be wrong, are we digging a hole? It could be wrong, could be wrong, this is out of control It could be wrong, could be wrong, it could never last It could be wrong, could be wrong, must erase it fast It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it could've been right It could be wrong, could be.... Love is our resistance They'll keep us apart and they won't stop breaking us down Hold me Our lips must always be sealed The night has reached its end We can't pretend We must run We must run It's time to run Take us away from here Protect us from further harm Resistance!
