Album: "Drones"
Muse - Drones

« Per me, i droni sono metaforicamente degli psicopatici che permettono comportamenti psicopatici senza possibilità di appello. Il mondo è dominato da droni che utilizzano altri droni per trasformarci tutti in droni. Questo album analizza il viaggio di un essere umano, dalla sua perdita di speranza e dal senso di abbandono, al suo indottrinamento dal sistema per divenire un drone umano, fino alla definitiva diserzione dal sistema creato dai suoi oppressori. »

(Matthew Bellamy)


MQ 9 Reaper


Chiaramente il nuovo album dei Muse gioca con la metafora dei droni, degli aerei comandati a distanza. Nella società distopica descritta nell'album, i droni sono le persone controllate a distanza dal sistema. Tuttavia, almeno in questa canzone, i droni assumono anche il significato letterale di aerei senza pilota, utilizzati sempre più spesso soprattutto dall'aeronautica statunitense nelle zone di guerra. Nel testo si fa riferimento esplicito a due modelli largamente impiegati in Afghanistan: l'MQ-9 Reaper e l'RQ-4 Global Hawk.

Su Genius si trovano le consuete interessanti annotazioni al testo.
Home, It's becoming a killing field
There's a crosshair locked on my heart
With no recourse and there's no one behind the wheel
Hellfire, you're wiping me out, killed by

Drones (killed by)
Drones (killed by)

You rule with lies and deceit
And the world is on your side
Cause you've got the CIA, babe
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna)
But all you've done is brutalise
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna)
Drones!

War, war just moved up a gear
I don't think I can handle the truth
I’m just a pawn
And we’re all expendable
Incidentally
Electronically erased
By your

We will rise in the sea
Bodies on the shore
To become reapers and horsemen
Now I am ready to know

Drones (killed by)
Drones (killed by)

You kill by remote control
The world is on your side
You’ve got reapers and hawks babe
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna)
Now I am radicalized
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna)
Drones!

(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna)
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna)

We will rise in the sea
Bodies on the shore
To become reapers and horsemen
Now I am ready to know

You kill by remote control
The world is on your side
You’ve got reapers and hawks babe
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna)
Now I am radicalized
(you can run but you're never gonna hide, you can run but you're never gonna gonna gonna)
Drones!

Here come the drones!
Here come the drones!
Here come the drones!
