Description
"I Belong To You" has a slow rhythm. The song's middle section[2] is sung in French[2] and the latter section includes a bass clarinet solo.[3]
Information
When the name of this song was released on Musewire, it was appended with "(+Mon Coeur S'Ouvre A Ta Voix)",[1] which translates from French into "My Heart Opens Itself To Your Voice", and is the name of an aria from Camille Saint-Saëns' opera Samson and Delilah. An operatic partial cover of this song is included as the interlude in "I Belong to You".
The song makes several self references, namely "Guiding Light" and "Overdue", the common use of the word "soul" in Matt's lyrics, and the band name "Muse" itself.
Lyrics
When these pillars get pulled down It will be you who wears the crown And I'll owe everything to you How much pain has cracked your soul? How much love would make you whole? You're my guiding lightning strike I can't find the words to say They're overdue I'd travel half the world to say "I belong to you" And she attacks me like a Leo When my heart is split like Rio And I assure you my debts are real I can't find the words to say When I'm confused I travel half the world to say "You are my muse" [Mon Cœur S'ouvre à Ta Voix] (My heart opens itself to your voice) Ah! Réponds, (Ah! Respond!) Réponds à ma tendresse (Respond to my tenderness) Verse-moi, verse-moi l'ivresse! (Pour out to me, pour out to me the drunkenness!) Réponds à ma tendresse! (Respond to my tenderness!) Réponds à ma tendresse! (Respond to my tenderness!) Ah! Verse-moi l'ivresse! (Ah! Pour out to me the drunkenness!) I belong I belong to you Woo! I can't find the words to say They're overdue I traveled half the world to say "I belong to you"
