Matt Bellamy (lyricist): This song is almost a sort of generality that you may use for whatever, a relationship for example. I’ve tried to write general songs that can be used in several situations. This song handles about the feeling of being monopolised by someone. TIRO makes a reference to the fact that we tried to break this enclosure, something like that. I wanted to communicate a feeling of protest, to go against the grain in some way. You can be consumed by your job, a relationship or the government, or be suffocated by the media. It can apply to different things.''
