Muse - Survival Lyrics






Race, life’s a race
And I am gonna win
Yes, I am gonna win

And I’ll light the fuse
And I’ll never lose
And I choose to survive
Whatever it takes

You won’t pull ahead
I’ll keep up the pace
And I’ll reveal my strength
To the whole human race

Yes I am prepared
To stay alive
And I won’t forgive,
Vengeance is mine
And I won’t give in
Because I choose to thrive

Yeah, I’m gonna win!

[guitar solo]

Race, it’s a race
And I’m gonna win
Yes, I’m gonna win

And I will light the fuse
I’ll never lose
And I choose to survive
Whatever it takes

You won’t pull ahead
'Cause I’ll keep up the pace
And I’ll reveal my strength
To the whole human race

Yes I'm gonna win

[guitar solo]

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Win! Win! Win! Win!

Yes I’m gonna win!

  1. F.... M....

    This was the last c.d. I ever bought and it was stolen the other night. Thanks for this.💯🎯💯

  2. D.... M....

    This song has Chaotic Evil energy, but not necessarily evil energy per se. "Whatever it takes" could imply breaking the law, or being amoral (Chaotic) and "Vengeance is mine" would be a selfish trait (Evil).

    A banger if I ever heard one tho.

  11. T.... E....

    Great song, pleased they chose Muse to sing the offical Olympic song.

  12. L.... N....

    This is basically Queen meets the Hunger Games soundtrack. Love every second of it.

  27. D.... E....

    "I am goin whatever it takes to survive?" Like stealing, frauding and killing other people? Is this the song that will be played in the third world war by the soldiers inside the tank? "Absolution" sing for absolution was a great song but this is either meant ironic or ...

    D.... E....

    Lol you're in too deep

  28. M.... L....

    This song fills me with energy, positivty and encouragement! Well done Muse, and yes, as many others have noted.. this song has the essence of Queen... Freddie would have loved this! So much power, so much entitlement!

  29. A.... P....

    Make this the theme song of survivor series 2019

    A.... P....

    If I were a wrestler I'd love to have ANY Muse song as my theme 💪🏼😎

  30. D.... ....

    This song is a parody about the Olympic Games, it is written for. It reflects the immense will to get better, the become the best; its madness. I don’t think the message of the song is about the motivation of getting better, it’s about its insanity: athletes must get stronger, faster, more agile than the human body allows.

    Take a look at the song: it goes through five different keys, Matt and other vocals have to sing higher and higher until it reaches insane high notes (especially Matt), the breathless “ha, ha”, the heavy guitar solos, in some parts the guitar and the harmonies represent the hurdles of hurdling, and lyrics also reflects the sheer madness.

    I think the song is a critique that can be understood in the contrary, otherwise the song wouldn’t have been allowed to be played there in London , I guess.

    D.... ....

    Absolutely, your interpretation is also in line with the whole album concept of The 2nd Law.

  42. D.... B....

    Name a better song for the olympics than this.

  43. V.... F....

    Man the queen influence is clearly there.

  44. B.... R....

    Shout out to Frédéric Chopin for writing the Piano Étude this song is based on. Op. 10 No. 3 "Tristesse" for those interested

    B.... R....

    Matt is a huge Chopin fan but I can't see any similarities.

  45. z.... p....

    Muse are almost making a song like this in each album since absolution.
    Absolution: Butterflies and Hurricanes
    Blackholes and revelation: Invincible
    The Resistance: Guiding Light
    The 2nd Law: Survival
    Drones: Revolt
    Simulation Theory: Get Up and Fight

  46. K.... 0....

    Commenters here before me totally missed the point of these lyrics. If you've listened to even the most mainstream Muse songs, you'd know that these lyrics are sarcastic!

    Life isn't a race. There's nothing to win. The only people that feel the need to reveal their strength to the whole human race are those people that want to control you. It's the same power hungry people that keep us in chains that think and act like this.

    This song is awesome because it's an official Olympics 2012 song and everyone thinks it's a rah-rah "I'm gonna win!!" triumph of athletes song, but it isn't. It isn't at all. It's making fun of the people who think life is a race and they have to win, at all costs, at the expense of everyone else.

    This song is genius. It's a message in disguise and hardly anyone will get it. Good job Muse, good job!

    Aside from the obvious Queen influence, does anyone hear Lose Yourself at the start?

  64. S.... ....

    god bless muse!
    hail muse!

  65. E.... ....

    I remember when this song was released as official song of London OG, a lot of people were complaining that it's too "heavy" for the event like OG. I didn't agree. We can hear in it the whole sacrafice, the pain, the sadness, but also a determination of the athletes. It couldn't be more perfect. But this piece of music doesn't concern only sport. It's about the life of all of us. Our victories and fall downs. Our despair and motivation. I'm so grateful to Muse for releasing this song.

  66. L.... M....

    Excelente, en todas sus formas.

  67. P.... ....

    Best sports anthem since We are the Champions and Un Estate Italiana.

  68. e.... ....

    Jueputa tema gonorreaaaa!!!

    Who came here from CLA

  70. A.... ....

    Muse are one of the most important rock band of the 2000 I love them !

  71. T.... M....

    Another Great Chris Lord-Algae Mix!!!!

  72. R.... R....

    Esta chida

  73. H.... G....

    Powerful. Imo even better without his vocals.

  74. B.... ....

    We need a masterpiece album with more shit like this.

  75. K.... H....

    This might sound really cliche to some but this song, particularly the lyric ‘I choose to survive’ has helped me get through each day the last two weeks. There was an incident on my way home from work and since then my mind has not been what it was, I feel so low each day and trying to get back to normality is a struggle. But this song once a day has helped me. I’ve still got a long way to go but I’ll get there one day.

  76. d.... t....

    I'll try to win the Google game to T-REX with this song!!!!!!👌

  77. r.... r....

    National anthem for a man who want to loosing fat...

    r.... r....

    What 😂😂😂

  78. H.... H....

    THIS IS THEIR WORST ALBUM APPARENTLY

    H.... H....

    DEFINE WORST!

  79. G.... ....

    To those that never noticed, Matt actually sings alongside the guitar from 3:07 to 3:48! I mean come on his range is insane!

  80. Y.... ....

    This is really master piece no matter what other say. Real music Cheers.

  81. J.... B....

    That's how I love Muse!

  82. D.... B....

    Perfect song but at the end Bellami's voice dont convince me.In some way don't match 100% with the backing vocals.I prefered that Mathiew lives them finishing alone.

  83. A.... A....

    THATS WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR

  84. s.... a....

    Innuendo??

  85. J.... D....

    Pastiche ironique et très drôle (dans l'emphase ridicule) de Queen et de F. Mercury par M. Bellamy, par un groupe dont chaque chanson sinon chaque accord vaut tout Queen.

  86. N.... D....

    The best song (and album too) to beat a Souls game

  87. S.... ....
