i've always loved how this song has so many different parts, its like a whole ride. starts off violent and heavy, then relaxes, then builds back up like a stormy tide and then finally it transcends into serenity.

It's a stand out album for a second album it's so out there . Every track is precise and unique this is my favorite song of Muse as a guitarist For me it is incomparable
In my opinion, Origin of Symmetry is a true masterpiece. For the longest time, the only sings I knew from it were Plug in Baby and Feeling Good which I still love to death but then when I heard Micro Cuts, Citizen Erased, and New Born I was just amazing and completely mind blown. The way Bellamy uses falsettos all throughout the album is incredible and I really love the use of the really strange chords like in Hyper Music and the chorus of Micro Cuts.
Muse are an absolutely timeless band, but every album has one or two songs that are just 10/10 outstandingly perfect. This and "New Born" are those songs for this album.
Showbiz: Muscle museum and Cave. Origin of symmetry: Citizen erased and screenager. Absolution: Falling away with you and the small print. BHAR: Starlight and Glorious. The resistance: Resistance and Mk ultra. The 2nd law: Animals and explorers. Drones: Reapers and Defector. imo
R.I.P. Storm Thorgerson he did the album artwork for a few of muses albums he did all the art for pink Floyd. origin of symmetry has amazing cover art with the tuning forks .
Nick Rossi i thought this album cover was selected via a competition sorta thing where all people were given was the title Origin of Symmetry and they created whatever came to mind.
it's depends on individual perspective, i still choose the remastered one over original... you have maximum clarity in there not this blurry, chaotic interpretation
Nothing fucking gives me the vibes that Citizen Erased does, and Paranoid Android and Bohemian Rhapsody has its own different vibes, wtf are you talking about?
I've been a muse fan for just over a year now. I've been systematically listening to every song in every album. I'd always thought Origin of Symmetry would somehow be disappointing. I am so damn happy to be proven utterly and completely wrong.
Muse is by far the band with the most reliable fanbase. Hardly anything on the radio (at least i can judge by germany). I totally understand that now. For years they slipped through my conciousnes. No idea what luck brought me to this point, but after i got hooked, i joined the tribe. Muse is musical and emotional perfection. Can`t wait for next saturday, to see them live in cologne.
Yeah, wish we had stuff like this on the radio. Rock radios turn on painfully less than mediocre german songs, the rest put on whatever tiktok trend is up right now. There is 0 muse, 0 arctic monkeys and 0 of my taste
Everytime i listen to a song of Muse i think , this is the best Muse song then i listen to another song of them and think this is the best song. ❤️. On this moment this is the best!!!! 👊🏻😇
Wow. This brings back memories of being a teen. The smells, the emotions. The strange feeling of a hollowness and impressionable nature, not appreciated at the time because there is only comparison now... full of all the experiences I carry around with me. It felt better to be young.
I know exactly what you mean, I'm going through the teens at the moment and my god have Muse and their extraordinary music gotten me through some tough times
Escuché esta canción por primera vez hace 5 años, específicamente con este mismo video, fue de las primeras que me hizo enamorarme de Muse y toda su discografía hasta la actualidad. La llevé conmigo desde entonces, poniéndola en varios momentos de mi vida, conviritendose así en mi canción favorita de entre muchas de Muse, pero ninguna como esta; se volvió parte de mi vida. Hace un mes pude tener la suerte de ir a su concierto en la ciudad de México, acompañado de la persona que me recomendó la banda desde entonces. Ver un concierto de Muse es otra experiencia, pero el momento en que el escenario calló, la pantalla enfocó un cartel de entre el público con un escrito que decía "Citizen Erased" fue como un mini infarto. Toda la canción fue una experiencia surreal, recordar mi vida con esta canción: los fallos, los logros, mis arrepentimientos, y mi creciemiento. Pocas veces he llorado si poder hablar de la felicidad en mi vida y esa en específico fue una que jamás podré olvidar aunque tratara. Espero que Muse por mucho o muy poco que lo conozcas, te marque o te deje algo, aunque sea pequeño, en tu vida.
Wow, I only recently discovered these guys, and this song was able to slam me in the face with a fistful of emotion upon first listening to it. If something like this can raise so much emotion with its composition so easily, then I think it deserves wide recognition, notoriety, and praise.
I found one song after another, and now after a year I'm still digging through their discography and finding amazing tracks I've never heard of yet. falling in love with muse is a journey, not a moment
@@ieo8446 The last chorus segues into a softer part, which consists a piano and background sound effect (probably made with a synthesizer), which connects Citizen Erased with the next song on the album, Micro Cuts, where the sound effect can be heard during the intro. I'm not stupid, I know what a guitar sounds like. Not sure if it's a riff that they use a phaser to make it repeat over and over in the background, but I do wish I knew how they made that sound.
@@StarKittens I think Matt made the sound using the squeals his fuzz factory pedal makes plus an echo effect. Pretty creative use out of what most would pass off as a nuisance!
Guys, music, like all the things, evolves. If you can carry out your print through the time without lose yourself, you are a real artist. With the last three albums the Muse have shown how this is possible.
I didn't have high hopes for this song while listening to the beginning. But, in typical Muse fashion, they hit me in the face with the best chords I've ever heard and it hooks me right in.
pivotmanify Aye. The Drones will be Reapers, Reapers who are Dead Inside. Global. And we cant Revolt away from the Psycho. But maybe there is an Defector in us middle. Or we just ask for Mercy. I had nearly all songs. But not Afternath .-.
I have listened to muse since I was a meer 5 years old and i have always loved them. It all started when I heard them playing somewhere whilst on holiday. I could hear the beautiful guitar and awesome vocals and I went home and made my parents listen to them with me. My dad was already a fan and now I am a huge fan at 13
Genuinely gutted that Matt's sorted himself out...This era of "self-expressed" and introspective Muse was easily the most deep and impactful, thematically and musically. For me it instantly resonates on a personal level, and I'm still moved by it 18 years later. Don't get me wrong, still a hugely talented band, but who's going to well up listening to the same "them-vs-us" anthems getting regurgitated over and over - not pointing any fingers: Uprising or Supremacy or Revolt or Resistance or Thought Contagion or...basically the last 5 albums.
I'm a big fan of muse but if i were tell on myself, i haven't listened to this song. Oh my god im in tears. This is their very best song. Put a pair of good headphones on turn the lights down close your eyes and enjoy! 😁💝💝😁😂🎈
i remember being like 12-13 and finding this song with my friend, we would always go out to the train track and listen to it, it was the only songs i listened to for a while
{Lyrics} Break me in, teach us to cheat And to lie, cover up What shouldn't be shared And the truth's unwinding Scraping away at my mind Please stop asking me to describe For one moment I wish you'd hold your stage With no feelings at all Open-minded I'm sure I used to be so free Self-expressed, exhausting for all To see and to be What you want and what you need And the truth's unwinding Scraping away at my mind Please stop asking me to describe For one moment I wish you'd hold your stage With no feelings at all Open-minded I'm sure I used to be so free For one moment I wish you'd hold your stage With no feelings at all Open-minded I'm sure I used to be so free Wash me away Clean your body of me Erase all the memories They will only bring us pain And I've seen, all I'll ever need
I've always listened to this song in bed. It carried me away into the space and I felt I could fly. Once at that time I thought I was dreaming, but somehow I was both in a dream and in reality. I felt like i was flying in open space on my back with the arms open like a star. That feeling was so overwhelming, I cried. I just lied in bed and cried silently. That feeling I had just once in my life and it would never come back... It is a special memory, I can never share it with anyone, because it is hard to explain. But I'm writing it here because perhaps someone can understand me...
It's incredible to think that music this good was being made as recently as 2001 This is as good as some of the best prog rock of the 70s such as Yes, King Crimson and Pink Floyd and has a similar feel to that music with a little Radiohead and Queen influence thrown in as well
When i’m dead this will be the outro of my funeral. With the perfect ending ,when my coffin leaves the room; Wash me away Clean your body of me Erase all the memories They will only bring us pain And I've seen, all I'll ever need.........
I just came across this song today and love it more than “dead inside” and ANY of their other songs. This song is 7 minutes long.... as it should be. They have valued the tunes and sounds more than the lyrics which I love! this is music!
When I first heard this a few years back I thought the same thing. They released this in 2001 and I bet said lets put this in our back pocket for a few years. We might need to add it to something if we make an album in 2008.
I love the solo in this song. It's so unique from other guitar solos and I don't think I'm afraid to say that it's my favorite solo. It's not the most impressive, but it's the most EPIC 👌👌👌
the first time i heard this song, when he sings ''open minded'' i thought he said ''over my dead'', and marbled at the mystery in the reason why he didn't finish it with ''body''
Muse has changed genres and is less progressive nowadays, than in the past. However, their music retains quality (though older listeners might dislike their newer material for obvious reasons) and are still better than 99% of the 'music' being made today,
deepflame28 Thank you. They're still as creative today as they were then. Bands change, that's a fact. Let's be happy that they changed and are still good.
deepflame28 Yep. I'm so disgusted of people who say the 2nd Law was shit. Did anyone even hear Big Freeze or Liquid State? Those are fairly old school-ish. And besides, the entire album was great. So hyped for Drones. Dead Inside is epic and so is Mercy!
Kebabscout Yeah, I know. The album had slight production problems for my taste, but the songs were mostly great. I'm hyped for Drones as well. Absolutely loved Dead inside and reapers. Mercy will probably grow on me like starlight did.
This has been my favorite song for 5 years by now. Its structure is so engaging and immersive... In such a way that it has really helped me work through pain over the years. It's also comforting and helpful to see that I'm not the only one whose favorite song is this one :)
This song is incredible, buy this entire album as a whole is super incredible. I remember listening to it front to back many of times. May be in my personal top 50 albums ever. Love Muse. Beautiful music. Incredible.
I’m 14 I’ve listened to muse for 11 years now I love them I’ve seen them live and everything they are the reason why I picked up the guitar and learned it’s a beautiful song this and have to say it’s almost as good as map of the problematique
I can't explain in words how I feel when listening to this song. it's incredible.
Endless

hydrostatic3000 also Darkshines..my fav Muse song ever
I wouldn't have placed Micro Cuts there until I saw the band do it live in Melbourne in 2007. The actual mechanics of that song are insane.
I'd say "Plug in Baby" instead of "New Born"
this album is such a masterpiece
OOS was such a brilliant album, I don't know how an album can have so many beautiful songs and yet not become world known.
R.I.P. Storm Thorgerson
he did the album artwork for a few of muses albums he did all the art for pink Floyd.
origin of symmetry has amazing cover art with the tuning forks .
Nick Rossi i thought this album cover was selected via a competition sorta thing where all people were given was the title Origin of Symmetry and they created whatever came to mind.
He didn't do OoS, he did Absolution and Black Holes (as well as the single cover for Butterflies and Hurricanes and Uprising).
this version is way better than the remastered one, which was sanitized and killed the vibe captured in this mix.
it's depends on individual perspective, i still choose the remastered one over original... you have maximum clarity in there not this blurry, chaotic interpretation

this song is basically the soundtrack of going to work and sleep and knowing it wont change unless you do.
The intro riff sounds like a rage against the machine riff
Tom Morello is a superb guitarrist. I thought the same when I listened the intro. His influence is in more songs of OoS.
Yeah you can see it in Hyper Music and Futurism
Muse's song reapers has a riff that sounds like Freedom by Rage Against the machine.

just take a look at "break it to me" XD
I remember listening to this last year during covid. This shit blew my mind.
{Lyrics}
Break me in, teach us to cheat
And to lie, cover up
What shouldn't be shared
And the truth's unwinding
Scraping away at my mind
Please stop asking me to describe
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free
Self-expressed, exhausting for all
To see and to be
What you want and what you need
And the truth's unwinding
Scraping away at my mind
Please stop asking me to describe
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free
Wash me away
Clean your body of me
Erase all the memories
They will only bring us pain
And I've seen, all I'll ever need
Thank you for that 😊

I love the solo in this song. It's so unique from other guitar solos and I don't think I'm afraid to say that it's my favorite solo. It's not the most impressive, but it's the most EPIC 👌👌👌
Best track period. What an amazing peace of art.
I wish I could listen to this for the first time again
the first time i heard this song, when he sings ''open minded'' i thought he said ''over my dead'', and marbled at the mystery in the reason why he didn't finish it with ''body''
Lol.
Muse has changed genres and is less progressive nowadays, than in the past. However, their music retains quality (though older listeners might dislike their newer material for obvious reasons) and are still better than 99% of the 'music' being made today,
deepflame28 Thank you. They're still as creative today as they were then. Bands change, that's a fact. Let's be happy that they changed and are still good.
You're welcome :)
deepflame28 Yep. I'm so disgusted of people who say the 2nd Law was shit. Did anyone even hear Big Freeze or Liquid State? Those are fairly old school-ish. And besides, the entire album was great. So hyped for Drones. Dead Inside is epic and so is Mercy!
Kebabscout Yeah, I know. The album had slight production problems for my taste, but the songs were mostly great. I'm hyped for Drones as well. Absolutely loved Dead inside and reapers. Mercy will probably grow on me like starlight did.
WormVlogs ???
2:07 is my favorite part!!! What a fantastic solo!
This has been my favorite song for 5 years by now. Its structure is so engaging and immersive... In such a way that it has really helped me work through pain over the years. It's also comforting and helpful to see that I'm not the only one whose favorite song is this one :)
My favourite album has switched from Black Holes and Revelations to Origin of Symmetry
Alex Hodgkinson and fckg masterpiece showbiz
This song is incredible, buy this entire album as a whole is super incredible. I remember listening to it front to back many of times. May be in my personal top 50 albums ever.
Love Muse. Beautiful music. Incredible.
"and I've seen all I'll ever need"
"And my mind, please stop asking me to describe"
Who else feels this on a deep, everyday level😂
muse is too damn good, this whole album is perfect
I’m 14 I’ve listened to muse for 11 years now I love them I’ve seen them live and everything they are the reason why I picked up the guitar and learned it’s a beautiful song this and have to say it’s almost as good as map of the problematique
Leon Patton u remind me of myself lol
IAN RUBIKS is that good or bad
Brilliant from start to finish... sheer brilliance.
