Muse - Megalomania Lyrics






Paradise comes at a price
That I am not prepared to pay
What were we built for?
Could someone tell me please?

The good news is, she can't have babies
And wont accept gifts from me
What are they for?
They'll just grow up, and break the laws you've loved

Take off your disguise
I know that underneath
It's me

Useless device, it won't suffice
I want a new game to play
When I am gone
It won't be long, before I disturb you in the dark

And paradise comes at a price
That I am not prepared to pay
What were we built for?
Will someone tell me please?

Take off your disguise
I know that underneath
It's me

    I just searching for undertale song but i mispelled it and found this
    Totally worth it

    J.... ....

    JustinMaster500 wow

  13. E.... f....

    the fact that if you type "megalomania" on youtube and the first result is megalovania from undertale is both hilarious and sad lmao

  14. D.... 7....

    I love Muse, if it weren't for them, I would've had a *bad time*

  15. c.... ....

    Was expecting Sans

  16. t.... d....

    i like how whenever someone makes an undertale reference every muse fan in the comments is just,,
    "ew"
    "leave"

  17. x.... ....

    life goal is to meet people who could understand why muse are pure geniuses of music and talk about it for hours

  18. I.... L....

    I thought this was the undertale song at first lol then I saw muse and I was like ?

  19. C.... ....

    As a DCI fan, I feel like the closing organ chord should have been held for 8-16 counts longer at least or maybe a mic drop walk off stage while we stand around for 20 more minutes listening to this epic closing, knowing you’re not coming back on stage but we have an innocent degree of hope that you might...

  20. e.... ....

    Weird, I'm having a good time. Must be the "m" instead of the "v".




    Yes, I'm a Muse fan, I'm just also a fan of Undertale. Not a mistyper, I've been listening to Origin of Symmetry almost every day.

  21. l.... p....

    Megalovania

  22. C.... C....

    This isn't undertale

    C.... C....

    you're looking for megalovania. this is called megalomania. so please leave

  23. M.... S....

    its been 5 years since i visited this very same url

  24. P.... D....

    _HELLO SANS_

  25. d.... ....

    one of the few good Muse songs

    d.... ....

    "Few" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  26. C.... P....

    this isn't undertale what the heck

    C.... P....

    Yeah its better

    C.... P....

    @BigBrother IsWatchingYou Yeah man. Undertale is for Radiohead fans.

  27. L.... -....

    I think it was an undertale music xD

    L.... -....

    it’s better

  28. K.... 7....

    this song will always be a classic I miss these days

  29. S.... P....

    I wish they would play this as a closing act on their concert! But the chances of such a song as a closing act is impossible because of its meaning :(.

  30. C.... G....

    megaman always in our hearts

  31. D.... M....

    very similar to "who wants to live forever"

  32. L.... S....

    3:39 - that harmony though...

    This is my favourite muse song by far, simply because of the organ, the bass, the vocals and everything. Closely followed by Bliss.

  33. d.... d....

    How to feel old: this song was released nearly a month before I was born😩

  34. V.... L....

    Los secuestradores y los acesinos no duermen están al pendiente en sus casas en Iztapalapa

  35. V.... L....

    Los secuestradores no duermen y los scecino tampoco están al PP endiebte en sus casas

  36. e.... t....

    This sounds like both MCR and radiohead at the same time wtf.

    e.... t....

    what where

  37. M.... H....

    Jesus, I own every Muse album and know almost every single song by heart, but somehow I missed this song. I must have mixed it up with Micro Cuts (which I avoid). This is awesome, new Muse song for me!

  38. P.... M....

    From megalomania to thought contagion. Tragic

  39. D.... B....

    Oh ... i was looking for the black sabbath one.. not this Shiz!

  40. L.... M....

    More underrated than Fury

  41. K.... n....

    That song must be a contradiction to the title, it's slow to much lol. (Sorry my english)

  42. K.... U....

    Megalovmania anyone?

  43. E.... ....

    Insane..

  44. Y.... ....

    3:23 - end: one of the top 5 moments in space music

  45. P.... C....

    I like Muse

  46. c.... ....

    Still one of my favourite songs

  47. E.... F....

    3:38 Esos falsetes me erizan la piel! :3

  48. M.... R....

    Song That Might Play When You Fight Muse

  49. J.... T....

    they will never make song like this

  50. T.... ....

    from 0:00 to 4:38 is amazing idk why u say last 30 secs

  51. A.... ....

    PUTA Q PARIU

  52. V.... P....

    2:20 Isn't that Clint Eastwood - Gorillaz?

    V.... P....

    This came out a decade before Clint Eastwood. This might have influenced it but I doubt it

  53. L.... ....

    I had my headphones at really low volume and this started playing after "The Light Behind Your Eyes" by mcr and I was really confused and thought the same song started playing. The beginnings kind of sound the same

  54. S.... ....

    If I were to kill myself, it would be to this song.

  55. A.... ....

    I never played undertale so I wouldn't understand what everyone's talking about awesome fucking song though

  56. R.... ....

    Attention, you accidentically picked the right song, please look further to find the wrong one.

  57. Y.... F....

    Such a masterpiece.

  58. P.... M....

    Finest of modern hymns. In my opinion.

  59. G.... R....

    la chason du mensonge dans l'église x)

  60. l.... ....

    this is probably one of their most underrated, if not their most underrated, songs. like seriously, this is a masterpiece

  61. A.... ....

    Just let us listen to this masterpiece without making sure we know what shit fandom you came from. We don't care. We came for the song

  62. B.... C....

    "Take off your disguise!!!"

  63. C.... A....

    Probably one of the best falsettos I've ever heard at 3:38.....crazy

    C.... A....

    Its Called B5 1.000hz with 10.000hz frquency tone

  64. �.... ....

    我是說我在想事情。

  65. f.... ....

    Best final song on an album I've ever heard.

  66. B.... R....

    This song is better than the hole coldplay discography.

    B.... R....

    Romain Gomard Don’t compare this beautiful bands. Can you compare the beatles to the rolling stones? Please be more gentle my friend.

    B.... R....

    Coldplay is fucking awesome and this statement is weird. Pretty sure most people who hate on Coldplay are trying a bit too hard to be "real rock fans" and never actually listened to a Coldplay record. Parachutes and AROBTTH are both masterpieces and as much as I love Muse, Martin is a more diverse composer. I get the hate around the 'mainstream pop' side of Coldplay, but even the most recents albums have some really nice songs too. Go home man, you're drunk, let musicians be musicians.

    B.... R....

    Coldplay is garbage

    B.... R....

    Don't ever compare Muse with those fuckin shit band call coldplay, imagine dragon, moron 5 and panic at the club

  67. T.... ....

    End the Undertale please

  68. W.... A....

    *Insert non-related UNDERTALE comment here*

    W.... A....

    he deserves it

    W.... A....

    Sure i am mate :)

    W.... A....

    What Am I Doing With My Life

    W.... A....

    @le cambrioleur Yes, what is it?

    W.... A....

    Congratulations, you failed.

  69. �.... ....

    This is ....say, divine. That's what I felt.

  70. M.... a....

    1:43 WHEN THE ORGAN KICKS IN
    goosegumps every time..

    M.... a....

    I'm literally going to learn this on keyboard just so I can try to play this if I ever come across a massive church organ! Got kicked out of a cathedral once for playing Tony's Theme from Scarface on the organ. Turns out the phrase "pulling out all the stops" is true, it sounded crap until I pulled out everything in sight. SO loud, the organ is such an epic instrument! Shame it was in the days when phones didn't really record video in quality worth watching, would have been a right laugh to put that on YouTube....

    M.... a....

    +Corvid So I'm guessing you know the story behind how Matt tricked a priest in order to record this song, eh? That must have been funny, good luck in the future!

    M.... a....

    And I was lucky enough to hear it live. It was the most powerful moment in the whole gig (this and citizen erased, that one just puts into tranсe). It's like my mind was hammered with this massive sound kicking all the thoughts out and I couldn't breathe. Imagine what it does to a 16 year girl. It's been almost a decade and I still consider this first Muse gig as the best day of my life (and I had plenty of very good ones)

    M.... a....

    im sorry i cant get over goosegumps

    M.... a....

    My dad is a retired priest at that church!
    My wife and I got married there a year ago, we're huge Muse fans and have only just found this out!

  71. T.... G....

    And this kids, this is how you end an album like a pro.

    T.... G....

    The last song is actually Futurism.

    T.... G....

    +Tocaraca Technically, it is. However, Megalomania is usually referred as the last song on Origin Of Symmetry due to Futurism only being available on certain versions of the album. For example, only being available on the Japanese version.

    T.... G....

    The Great Sloth Lord Well it is on the Official ITunes version

    T.... G....

    @Tocaraca no

    T.... G....

    The Great Sloth Lord
    It’s the default tracklisting for all streaming services now. Not just Japanese deluxe version.

  72. R.... ....

    seriously what this song is about ? it made me paranoid again

    R.... ....

    "This is directed at what would be God, asking why we should go forth and multiply? What's the point?" - Matt Bellamy.

  73. C.... M....

    why! it should have been megalovania

  74. R.... ....

    Just watched a vid of someone suffering from megalomania it was weird and impossible for me to get my mind around he was a scientist and was planning on world domination what did he think this reality is a game of risk

  75. D.... A....

    If you want to understand more about this masterpiece, have a look on the musewiki site and you will be aMUSEd ^_^

  76. s.... ....

    Anyone else read "Megalovania" and thought Undertale?

    s.... ....

    no but I read megalomania and thought muse

  77. M.... ....

    beware there will be undertale megalovania miss-searches. you've been warned!

  78. A.... G....

    I just spelled megalovania wrong...

    A.... G....

    Excuse me but are you aware that NOBODY gives a shit

    A.... G....

    Haters gonna hate. ;)

    A.... G....

    Damn, the cringe is real.

  79. S.... E....

    I eno the music well but not aside I like Trumps changes to the economy even better. Christ is with us even when we are at re lowest. Praise christ and how he heals you

  80. r.... ....

    Origin of Symmetry. My favorite album of theirs. It has it all. Crazy, megalomaniac, emotional, funky, dreamy, epic, exotic.

    r.... ....

    My Favorite is Yeah *Origin Of Symmetry*,*Showbiz* and *B-Sides Cave*

  81. M.... N....

    Would be a really good song to use in a trailer for a dark sci-fi film.

    M.... N....

    Or a dark western. Or a dark sci fi western. Well. :D

    M.... N....

    Westworld?

    M.... N....

    I WANT IT FOR ARTEMIS FOWL

  82. M.... ....

    Why does the name of this song remind me of a certain skeleton.. Hmmm oh boy oh boy, I just don't know.

    M.... ....

    @The Imperfectionist I don't know what that means. Please clarify. thanks~

  83. r.... b....

    un des meilleurs morceaux de la meilleure musique de Muse(probablement le meilleur groupe actuel).

  84. O.... ....

    The Power of Organ.

    O.... ....

    Absurdly beautiful!!!

  85. M.... W....

    Happy birthday origin of symmetry

  86. S.... ....

    This song is the bees knees. I've listened to it a bazillion times already.. I need help.

    S.... ....

    Congratulations! You have a Muse-adiction)

    S.... ....

    Damn, me neither.

  87. S.... M....

    This makes undertale touching the edge of copyright with the name :]

  88. g.... n....

    we get you typed in the wrong name and got this weird space song by some weird band from europe
    now
    you see that door over there?
    go through it

    g.... n....

    Probably referencing people who searched megalovania, the undertale song

    g.... n....

    Looking for Live A Live I see :^)

    g.... n....

    @Eric Hughes i know i'm late but... wooooooosh

    g.... n....

    @Dummy account I know. I was fucking idiot. well... still am. But I addressed my mistake it in a previous comment anyway.

  89. J.... ....

    I think both of the fandoms that came here have LOTS of porn based with it.

    J.... ....

    Btw don't look up muse porn

    J.... ....

    +26 “Jackson” Jupitarium I did once
    Worst mistake I have ever done.

    J.... ....

    Old RPG style game that was inspired off of Earthbound, but the fandom is cancer. **Trigger Warning**

    J.... ....

    Never accidently look up Undertail. just.. just don't

  90. A.... ....

    Holy shit this at 1.25 speed is literally my favorite thing ever.

  91. t.... j....

    Their most underrated song in my opinion

    t.... j....

    +the jean genie From their main albums. Out of all of their songs I'd say Host is extremely underrated.

  92. T.... g....

    It's a beatifull day outside
    Flowers are blooming
    On days like theese
    Kids like you should
    be listening to Muse.

    T.... g....

    @SuddenlyVee thanks

    T.... g....

    @SuddenlyVee But why scream?

    T.... g....

    T.... g....

  93. C.... D....

  94. S.... A....

    Best album ending EVER

  95. g.... ....

    *toby fox wasabout to at this track into the game, but he didnt get the rights. so, he used one of his older songs and made it better. thats how megalovania was born.

  96. E.... ....

    E.... ....
