So I was listening to the song "Time is Running Out" door Muse and really paying attention to the lyrics. I noticed some striking resemblances to this song and New Moon. Listen to this song if you've seen the movie New Moon and/or have read the book. The song came out before the book, so I know Muse didn't steal it from Stephenie Meyer. And one of Stephenie Meyer's favourite bands in Muse. Just look at the lyrics for yourself and read my breakdown:
I think I'm drowning - Could be when Bella literally drowns of when she was without Edward
Asphyxiated - She felt like she was dying without Edward
I wanna break this spell
That you've created - Edward "dazzles" Bella
You're something beautiful - She has described Edward as beautiful before
A contradiction - He's a great person, but stuck with the bad reputation of vampires
I wanna play the game - Bella wants to be a vampire
I want the friction - She's okay with all the bad stuff that comes with it
u will be the death of me - Because vampires aren't living of because hanging around with vampires is literally deadly business
u will be the death of me
Bury it
I won't let u bury it - At the end when Edward's about to reveal his sparkliness to the world, Bella won't let him bury his own life
I won't let u smother it - She won't let him "smother" himself
I won't let u murder it - She won't let him murder himself
Our time is running out - Bella was running out of time when she was trying to get to him
Our time is running out
u can't push it underground - She couldn't stop Edward from tonen his sparkliness and she felt hopeless
u can't stop it screaming out
I wanted freedom - She just wanted to be a vampire
Bound and restricted - He keeps her a little too close
I tried to give u up - When Edward left her
But I'm addicted - Bella was freaking out for months when he left her. Definitely addiction.
Now that u know I'm trapped sense of elation - When Edward knew Bella couldn't live without him she was happy because he would never leave her again
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation - Now he would never even think to leave her
u will squeeze the life out of me - When Edward finally makes her a vampire she wil technically be lifeless
Bury it
I won't let u bury it
I won't let u smother it
I won't let u murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
u can't push it underground
u can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Oh
u will suck the life out of me - Again, she wants to be a vampire and vampires aren't technically alive. He will "suck" the life out of her when he turns her into a vampire.
Bury it
I won't let u bury it
I won't let u smother it
I won't let u murder it
Our time is running out
Our time is running out
u can't push it underground
u can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Oh
u cannot read these lyrics and my evaluation and NOT think Stephenie Meyer stal the plot of New Moon from Muse. I mean, it's just waaaay too similar to just be a coincidence. And like I zei before, Stephenie Meyer is a fan of Muse, so she's heard this song. Even if she didn't do it intentionally, she did it subconsciously. of maybe I just drank a little too much today. I don't know, u decide.
