Description
In an NME article, the song was described as 'stadium stomp' and being about the world being in "meltdown."
According to previews of the album, Big Freeze is a surprising song with funk elements while retaining a 'Muse-y' sound. [1]
In the chorus, you can hear similar vocals to Map Of The Problematique. The song has been compared to U2.
Information
This 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. Based on the lyrics and the previous accidentally tweeted titles, the working title for this song can assumed to be 'Hiding to...'.
Lyrics
Healed, or are you still just reeling?
Are you fine? Have you found a way to escape? Are you here, just because I need you? Can we hole up, a big freeze is heading our way.
We are on a hiding to nowhere, We still hope, but our dreams are not the same. And I, I lost before I started, I’m collapsing in stellar clouds of gas.
Hear me. What words just can’t convey. Feel me. Don’t let the sun in your heart decay.
Fight, or will you show me mercy? We’ve expelled, the goodness from our hearts. Are you here, just to prove you’re winning? Can we hole up, and ride out this electrical storm?
We destroyed something beautiful. We have faith, but our truths are not the same. Don’t give up, don’t let the magic leave us, Stop the loneliest force becoming king of the universe.
Hear me. What words just can’t convey. Feel me. Don’t let the sun in your heart decay.
Don’t give up, don’t let the magic leave us. We’re collapsing in stellar clouds of gas.
Hear me. What words just can’t convey. Feel me. I won't let the sun in your heart decay.
