This is a possible meaning of the song Uprising by MUSE
The paranoia is in bloom, (The creation of enemies Insurance companies, Doctors, Companies are the enemy not government)
The PR transmissions will resume, (Major News outlets parrot the Governments line... Even the Comics in News like Stewart is silent these days.)
They'll try to push drugs to keep us all dumbed down, (Riddling. The dumbing down of Children in the corrupt Government schools. Reading us to become subjects to the state... Just look how many young voters voted for "Change")
And hope that we will never see the truth around, (That people should not trust there Government Ultimate power corrupts absolutely... Give the Government, Auto Companies, Insurance companies and Banks and now they want Healthcare..... The words you must fear is "I am from the government, and I am here to help you.)
Another promise, another seed, (President Bush Softcore Socialist, President Obama looking to finish the job.)
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed, (TARP 1, TARP 2, Stimulus, the National debt our debt tripled by the FEDs and the Government.... All to keep the fat cats in line.)
With all the green belts wrapped around our minds, The Green Environmental Movement, Cap and Trade Kyoto, all treaties and ideas that will bring MORE Government Control to our Lives....
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined, (Regulations, more and more regulations, Taxes codes that make it that only 46% of Americans pay Taxes while the other half live off them and the Government. The Slavery returns, the irony those most recently freed will be the first to be shackled.)
Interchanging mind-control, (Republican, Democrat its all the same now, they all want one thing. Control.)
Come, let the revolution take its toll, The grassroots movements coming about rebellion against the Status que...
If you could flick a switch and open your third eye, (See the truth around you and realize you are voting away your liberties.)
You'd see that we should never be afraid to die, (Evil will always win when good men do nothing.... A Free citizen is a armed citizen, you should not be afraid to fight against any tyranny)
Rise up and take the power back, (Take the power back from the Federal Government and deliver into the hands of the people and their states as it is stated in the 9th and 10th Amendment)
It's time that the fat cats had a heart attack, (It is time that there are Term limits for Congress and Senators!
You know that their time's coming to an end, (The nation is volatile and in one year can swing from one side to the other... VA, NJ Governor races... People are tired of it all they want a change, the death of the Republicans and Democrats is near.)
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend! (He have to unify and we have to stand together, and end the Governments takeover of our lives!)
With this in mind, one muse realize that this is a European band, and was NOT written about the US, as everything is not evolved around this country. It was actually written a bout the G20 protest... But nice try
I, personally, think it's an anti-Communism song. Could just be a rebellious dong in general though. Not everything has to be so intricate, but it's cool when it is. You seem to know what you're talking about though, and you're right, not everything revolves around America and most Americans seem to be ignorant of that.
Muse's style of music can only be defined as "Alternative". It is totally unique, though there are some clear influences from bands such as Radiohead and Queen. Some of their songs have been classified as rock, but most do not fit this description. The only genre worthy of describing them is "Matt". Everything about Muse's music is insight into the complex inner-workings of Matthew Bellamy's mind.
Unfortunatly I have not been able to find a radio station that plays muse songs regularly. If you have satalite radio, you can sometimes get lucky and catch "Uprising" on these stations. "The Blend" and "The Pulse". But that's IT! I have only heard Uprising on the radio! And they barely EVER play it! I think that Muse should be more regularly played on the radio! : D
Me my whole family everybody at their concerts!!!!! I went to one a couple of days ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matt Bellamy, Dom Howard and Chris Wolstenholme, the three band members, were all part of the group that wrote and composed Resistance.
Actually Matt wrote all the albums apart from absolution which chris wrote. but they all performed it.

(metallicafan23)
wrongo...their most recent hit(s) are the day that never comes and suicide and redemption.
st anger had a number one in Germany as well. frantic was number 1 for a year.
load and reload had zilch for hits
black had 2 hits, sandman and sad but true
then justice had had 2 as well one and ...and justice for all
all of those albums went platinum and master of puppets is rounding up on platimum with only 2000 more sales to go. it still remains at gold though.
all together id say about 7-10 number ones
OMFG, how do you think that load, reload and st. anger could sell more than master of puppets? i think those havent even gone gold, i mean, i personally think every single song is awesome but many metallica fans said that after the black album, it was all junk in at least up to death magnetic, besides, i was just sayin the ones that had the most success, i also knew that ride the lightning sold a good bunch
I'd have to say Uprising, but if you're looking for something less mainstream, Starlight is amazing as well.
You can find a lot of free sheet music at imslp.org
The Canadian band Rush has sold over 40 million of copies worldwide, and has 37 Gold/Platinum certifications on their albums.
No. Matthew Bellamy and Dominic Howard are not related.
Muse is one of the best bands around. They played a song on Twilight during the baseball scene! It was called''Supermassive Black Hole''.

Since 1995! 1995 is when they started playing their music, and making the world a better place through gnarly guitar solos and super gnarly lyrics that we can all learn something from!! MUSE RULES!
Calliope was the first and most respectable of all Muses. She was the Muse of Epic Poetry and Eloquence. Her symbols were the abacus and the pen. More often than not she was also pictured with a tablet or a scroll. She is represented as a stately young woman, whose brow is crowned with gold. Clio was the Muse of History. She inspired those who spoke, wrote and sang history. Her symbols were the trumpet, the clepsydra (hour-glass) and most of all the manuscript that unfolds. Erato also carried a Lyre and she was a deity of a different kind of poetry. She was the Muse of marriage and Love lyrics. She was a fine, merry girl crowned with roses. In the beginning Euterpe was just an escort to Dionysus. However she later became the Muse of Lyric Poetry. Her symbol was the flute and she was pictured playing it, as all Muses were pictured along with their symbols. Melpomene was the Muse of Tragedy. It is said that she was involved with Dionysus who was sometimes called Melpomenus. Her symbols were the tragic mask and club of Heracles. She often pictured wearing a garland of grapevine leaves, like Dionysus and she carried a sword. Another possibility was that her grave attitude led to her being the Muse of Tragedy. At first it was said that Polymnia inspired hymns and songs for the Gods and the heroes. Later people said she was a deity of knowledge and memory and finally the Muse of "small art". She was presented in a thoughtful mood and sometimes talking with her fingers as though people could express their will with gestures, without speech. Terpsihore was a young and lively fair maiden who prevailed in dances and drama at the beginning. Finally she became the Muse of Dancing and she is often represented in a dancing position with the Lyre and Plectrum (a kind of musical triangle). At the beginning Thalia was an agricultural deity and was the Muse of Pastoral Poetry. She supervised outdoor feasts. She had a bright and playful look so it is not surprising that she finally became the Muse of Comedy. The comic mask she carried with her left hand and the shepherd crook she held with her right, were her symbols. She was crowned with grapevine or ivy leaves. Urania is the Muse of Astronomy. A pair of compasses and a celestial globe were her symbols and with those she wanted to define the position of the stars upon the globe.

The artwork is a kaleidoscope of many colored hexagons with the small shape of a man at the bottom. It seems as if the cover is insinuating that a single man is trying to find he meaning of life through all of the world's colors. It is a deeper metaphorical meaning that is portrayed through art.
