Review about Assassin Violence is necisary some times | Reviewer: Jason | 9/3/09
Yes this song has many meanings and many anti social ways then one but theyre speeking on how a assissin is made. Its a warning to those in power saying who manipulate the law to stay in power and keep every one else in poverty. It says that under these conditions civil war is started and assissins get made.
Demonocracy | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/24/09
I must say this. Being an extremely talented musical group, Muse isn't going to only have one possible meaning for their songs. I am a writer, and if I go and write a poem for instance, I write it with a certain meaning in mind that is relevant to me, but I don't make it so constricting that it is only my experience. Some authors do this and it is a style that they have adopted, but most lyricists, artists, authors, etc. write with possibility for the audience to relate with themselves or to interpret it how they wish. If you go and read, listen to, or look at a piece of art five times, you could potentially get a different view on it each time, thus further increasing your understanding on the subject. With this being said, I think there are many different interpretations of this song, and many of them are correct, for the person making this judgement.

seems pretty simple to me: fuck democracy. on the right hand we have democracy, which blurs the line between state and society. as a result it is completely inclined toward totalitarianism, as it makes it easier to politicize every one and every thing in society. Historically speaking, tyranny has always been the path of democracy. The left hand of Western gov't is liberalism, which is basically a polemic against aristocracy and, after slaughtering a few of europe's best and brightest, the target shifted to the totalitarian state formed by the less cultivated assholes who took their place. The two are incompatible and the result is a neurotic, schizoid public that can only agree on the lowest common denominator (through which the modern elite controls the public). since the modern elite no longer care about the consequences of lowest common denominator behavior, any sensible person with the will to express himself or herself would rise above the slavelike state of "equality" and, as Voltaire said, "Écrasez l'Infâme." You can do this with actual violence, or you can negate your enemies on the metaphorical level with occult warfare by tapping into the public unconscious and modifying the structure of reality there.
MK-ULTRA | Reviewer: anonymous | 6/3/09
the song is about "project MK-ULTRA", a covert CIA mind-control, and chemical interrogation program. CIA documents suggest that "chemical, biological and radiological" means were investigated for the purpose of mind control as part of MK-ULTRA. also, many of the program's "studies", relied heavily on the administration of LSD. In 1973, CIA director richard helms ordered all MK-ULTRA files destroyed. Pursuant to this order, most CIA documents regarding the project were destroyed, making a full investigation of MK-ULTRA impossible.
my opinion | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/22/09
this song tells about Assassin itself - the original Assassin (Hassashin), a secret sect of Imailia of Shia. based in Saracen, Suriah in 12th century.
they are a group of trained killers with capability to work covertly. the members were recruited since they were child. the leader called Old Man From The Mountain or just Old Man.
during crusade, they were hired to killed Christian's leaders. Assassin were feared by Christians so it mentioned in old texts and the word Hassashin adapted into English.
but this sect not fanatic. they're just opportunist. they were also can be hired to killed moslem, mostly sunni, leaders.
One thing to consider | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/8/09
You do have to consider that Muse is an English band, not an American band. I'm not saying that they are less because of it. Quite the contrary, I love Muse. But maybe what they are writing about isn't necessarily about the USA. As an American I know that we can be self-centered (if you open your eyes you'll see this) but maybe this isn't exactly about us at all but rather simply an inner struggle of any oppressed person and what happens in their mind and body until they react to the oppression they face. The war part of it is that fact that an argument is always expressed as a war because it is easy to compare to and everyone understands it as stated by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson in "Metaphors We Live By".
Interesting Song | Reviewer: Dude... | 2/13/09
This song to me represents anyone/anything that doesn't want to live under oppression. It also had other meanings, I would say.
As to the post that said 'a country who goes to war for no reason' you're insane. I don't like that War either, but to suggest the USA is so evil is absurd (or that Bush was a war Criminal). Bad president, sure, but war criminal? Give me a break.
Great Song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/21/08
One of the best songs Muse has. Makes sense to me. I look at it this way. A country... won't say which one... declares war for no reason at all to another country. although it is economic or social, doesn't matter. war starts on the country, countless people are killed & as the song says... people want revenge for what's happen & the ''assassin(s) is/are born''. anyway... it's my opinion... although... this subject about what the song means or etc doesn't matter. let's just enjoy it ok? it a great song.
Muse rocks | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/18/08
im studying WW1 rite now, and this song reminds me of how leaders of the countries involved in the war werent actually the ones fighting the war. they believed their men were disposable, but rallied them with words like "honor" and "bravery".
some armies revolted when they had put up with enough horror, which brings me back to this song =)
Not so violent | Reviewer: Yorpster | 12/18/08
Although the language in this song is incredibly violent as has been noted in the previous posts, the idea of "demonocracy" does not necessarily knock democracy. The word demonocracy indicates rule by demons, if this were so by all means get them out of power, but it says nothing about the system of democracy. The violent language suggests getting up and doing something about all this effing mess going on around us, removing the leaders (though not necessarily killing them) caring about our communities and just generally making the world a better place. That is how the song speaks to me, non-violence spoken in a violent way.
