	I don't agree with the looking-up theory. After-all, using the 'we''ll destroy this world for you" line to support this, the continuation "i know you want me to feel you pain" seems akward. I see it this way: The character is in love with the you-person, which leaves him to be completely influenced ('we'll destroy this world for you') by this person and let him be harmed by the you-person ('you'll make us wanna die", 'games you play on me"). This pain is getting too much for him, causing the character to break up with the you-person (this is the only way out... right?). This is i guess what the chorus is about: he'll has to try and be neutral about the you-person again. This is the moment 'peace will arive'. And because when he's writing he loves this person so much, this situation seems to make him feel completely empty and meaningless ('and make us meaningless again'). Have you ever had the same experience? Being in love, knowing you should let it go, but on the other hand wanting to foster it, not letting the meaningless everyday life taking control (because without the other person life itself seems meaningless). The lyrics and dark emotional Muse-sound me love this song and listen to it for a hundred times.

	That’s interesting, DarkenedSilence. I think this song is majory classically driven anyway, as is much of Muse. The bass line goes through a circle of fifths at the chorus which Q of Sheeb does all the time. Matt is really influenced by Sergei Rachmaninoff, the Russian composer, in fact the tune at lines; "and tear us apart and make us meaningless again" is a direct quotation from Rach's Piano Concerto No. 2 (1st movement) - (i was listening to it the other day, was like..."F*ck! This sounds a bit like ... Muse! Matt you plagarist...!") I wouldn't be surpised if the vast rippling piano arpeggios at the beginning of the song were taken from the beginning of the concerto too as its absurdly simular. In fact if you stuck all the Muse songs together you'd probably come up with a piece of Rachmaninoff... :P (Rach 2 is the same one Matt took the Butterflies and Hurricanes solo from. It's great :D ) Temper, isn't that H8/Hate thing a computer that astronauts operate in rockets? Ties in the the whole Space Dementia thing (which I understood was also a physical nauseous effect of being in space for a long time) Just a thought...

	No, that's wrong, actually. He is saying "height," it says so in the Origin of Symmetry lyrics, in the booklet inside the CD cover. He pronounces it as "H-8." So think about it. H is H, and 8 is spelled 'eight.' So if you add H + 8, or "H + eight," you get "Height." He really is meaning height, by this. And by height he means getting above life, getting away from everything, the bustle of life, and distancing yourself with it, to make life easier. Or, in the lyrics, to "co-exist with the chill," which means, roughly, to "co-exist with the pain."

	Great song!! Has nothing to do with drugs what-so-ever, though...but was Muse ever affiliated with drugs? I heard they smoked pot and stuff as teenagers, but that was it... By the way, at the beginning of the song it is: "H8 is the one for me", not height. Someone else said this at some point here, and they're right.
