Muse - Hoodoo Lyrics

Come on into my life
Regress into a dream
We will hide
Build a new reality

Draw another picture
Of the life you could have had
Follow your instincts
And choose the other path

You should never be afraid
You're protected from trouble and pain
Why, why
Is this a crisis in your eyes again?

Come to be
How did it come to be
Tied to a railroad
No love to set us free

Watch our souls fade away
And our bodies crumble in
Don't be afraid
I will take the blow for you

And I've had recurring nightmares
I was loved for who I am
And missed the opportunity
To be a better man

  It's a doomed love affair. It tells of a hopeful beginning...but with foreshadowing of darkness. The middle reveals the true fragility of the union (source of darkness), leading to its ultimate distruction. The end shows a surrender to the reality - followed by a painful surge of regret.
