Sobre el álbum
El álbum Drones, de 2015, es un conceptual regreso de Muse al sonido de rock más crudo y directo. Tras los experimentos electrónicos de su anterior trabajo, la banda sintió la necesidad de volver a la esencia de un trío de rock. Por ello, este disco se centra en la fuerza de la guitarra, el bajo y la batería, con una producción menos recargada.
El álbum narra la historia de un individuo que es adoctrinado para convertirse en un dron humano, una potente crítica a la guerra moderna y la deshumanización. Canciones como "Psycho" o "Reapers" son descargas de hard rock con riffs potentes y una energía que recuerda a sus primeros trabajos.
A pesar de su dureza, el disco también tiene momentos de una gran belleza melódica. "Drones" es un trabajo temáticamente coherente y musicalmente contundente, la obra de una banda que recupera su faceta más guitarrera para lanzar un poderoso mensaje político y social.

- Dead Inside4:23
Dead inside! Revere a million prayers And draw me into your holiness But there's nothing there Light only shines from those who share Unleash a million drones And confine me then erase me babe Do you have no soul It's like it died long ago Your lips feel warm to the touch You can bring me back to life On the outside you're ablaze and alive But you're dead inside! You're free to touch the sky Whilst I am crushed and pulverised Because you need control Now I'm the one who's letting go You like to give an inch Whilst I am giving infinity But now I've got nothing left You have no cares and I'm bereft Your skin feels warm to caress I see magic in your eyes On the outside you're ablaze and alive But you're dead inside! Feel me now Hold me please I need you to see who I am Open up to me Stop hiding from me It's hurting babe Only you can stop the pain Don't leave me out in the cold Don't leave me out to die I gave you everything I can't give you anymore Now I've become just like you My lips feel warm to the touch My words seem so alive My skin is warm to caress I'll control and hypnotise You've taught me to lie Without a trace And to kill with no remorse On the outside I'm the greatest guy Now I'm dead inside! - [Drill Sergeant]0:21

Help me I've fallen on the inside I tried to change the game I tried to infiltrate But now I'm losing men in cloaks Always seem to run the show Save me from the ghosts and shadows Before they eat my soul Mercy, mercy Show me mercy From the powers that be Show me mercy Can someone rescue me Absent gods and silent tyranny We're going under hypnotised By another puppeteer And tell me why the men in cloaks Always have to bring me down Running from the ghosts and shadows The world just disavows Mercy, mercy Show me mercy From the powers that be Show me mercy Can someone rescue me Show me mercy Show me mercy please Help me I've fallen on the inside And all the men in cloaks Trying to devour my soul Show me mercy From the powers that be Show me mercy From the gutless and mean Show me mercy From the killing machines Show me mercy Can someone rescue me - Reapers5:59

Killed by You kill by remote control And the world is on your side You've got reapers and hawks babe And now I am radicalised Drones! Killed by You rule with lies and deceit And the world is on your side You've got the CIA babe And all you've done is brutalise You kill by remote control And the world is on your side You've got reapers and hawks babe And now I am radicalised Here come the drones!

Letra
You (you, you) Were my oppressor And I (I, I) I have been programmed to obey And now (now, now) You are my handler And I (I, I) I will execute your demands Leave me alone I must disassociate from you Behold (hold, hold) My trance formation And you (you, you) Are empowered to do as you please My mind (mind, mind) Was lost in translation And my heart (heart, heart) Has become a cold and impassive machine Leave me alone I must disassociate from you I won't let you control my feelings anymore And I will no longer do as I am told And I am no longer afraid to walk alone Let me go Let me be I'm escaping from your grip You will never own me again - [JFK]0:54
Letra
"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence: on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly-knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised." [John F. Kennedy; April 27, 1961] - Defector4:32

Letra
How did we get in so much trouble? Getting out just seems impossible Oppression is persisting I can't fight this brain conditioning Our freedom's just a loan Run by machines and drones They've got us locked into their sights Soon they'll control what's left inside Don't try to hide it, don't tell me it's not there You've got strength You've got soul You've felt pain You've felt love You can grow (you can grow) You can grow (you can grow) You can make this world what you want You can revolt You can revolt You can revolt Can you hear a distant thunder Taste earth's blood and hunger We live in a toxic jungle Truth is suppressed to mumbles They'll take away our homes They're just machines and drones Don't try to fight it, don't tell me you can't see That you've got strength You've got soul You've felt pain You've felt love You can grow (you can grow) You can grow (you can grow) You can make this world what you want You can revolt You can revolt You can revolt I can feel your pain I can feel your confusion I can see you're trapped in a maze Let's find a way to escape You've got strength You've got soul You're not afraid You're not a drone You can grow (you can grow) You can grow (you can grow) You can make this world what you want You can revolt You can revolt You can revolt - Aftermath5:48
War is all around I'm growing tired of fighting I've been drained And I can't hide it But I have strength for you You're all that's real anymore I am coming home now I need your comfort From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone States are crumbling Walls are rising high again It's no place for the faint-hearted But my heart is strong Because now I know where I belong It's you and I against the world We are free From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone We've gone against the tide All we have is each other now I'm coming home now I need your comfort From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone We're bound together Now and forever Loneliness has gone - The Globalist10:07
Letra
You were never truly loved You have only been betrayed You were never truly nurtured By churches of the state You were left unprotected To these wild and fragile lands But you can rise up like a God Arm yourself You can be strong You can build a nuclear power Transform the earth to your desire Free your mind from false beliefs You can be the commander in chief You can hide your true motives To dismantle and destroy Now you finally have the codes I have given you the code 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, fire There's no country left To love and cherish It's gone, it's gone for good It's you and me babe Survivors To hunt and gather memories Of the great nation we were There's no countries left To fight and conquer I think I destroyed them all It's human nature The greatest hunter Will survive alone With no one left to love There's no culture left To love and cherish It's gone, you know it's gone for good A trillion memories Lost in space and time for ever more I just wanted I just needed to be loved - Drones2:51
Letra
Killed by drones My mother, my father, My sister and my brother My son and my daughter Killed by drones Our lives between Your fingers and your thumb Can you feel anything? Are you dead inside? Now you can kill From the safety of your home With drones Amen
