Description
One of the darker Muse tracks of the Showbiz era.
Additional information
Spiral static is the calm before the storm that swells and explodes. Early versions were played before the release of the first EPs and Showbiz with different lyrics and the verse sung an octave higher. The studio version also has Matt singing his lowest full note to date, and in turn Spiral Static displays the greatest vocal range out of all of Muse's songs, consisting of nearly four octaves (A1 up to G5). When playing live, the intro has similarities to "Grace" by Jeff Buckley
Lyrics
Who's ever known
How much to moan and groan And quiver inside He needs to give you Everything you need Is it enough
You're running out of time As it grows in your eye You'll feel Broken inside, you'll feel
Sigh, static moans A storm growing strong And it's coming my way Still she gives you Everything you need Is it enough
You're running out of time As it grows in your eye You'll feel Broken inside, you'll feel And I'll feel Broken inside, you'll feel
Broken inside, you'll feel ...
Demo
You've never known
How much you moan and groan When she's on you
She gives you Everything you need Is it enough?
You're running out of time As it grows in your mind
She's my kind of girl And you should know That I'll take her away
We've been waiting too long Waiting for the wrongs To just disappear
Still she gives you Everything you need It's not enough
You're running out of time As it grows in your mind
She's my kind of girl And you should know That I'll take her away She's my kind of girl And you should know That I'll take her away
