| This song is pretty self-explanitory its about the power and the control that the music industry wields over artists such as muse. Awesome song though. | |

| You're all wrong, except summerlr. Matt said in an interview that it's about "hiding behind personalities that we create for other people", hence the title. It's about acting (ie "showbiz") and pretending to be a certain way just to fit in. We all wear a social mask in order to fit in with others and sometimes it tends to get the better of us. Some of us constantly feel compelled to be a certain way in order to feel like we belong ("trying to please you for too long"). We repress our true feelings in order to fit in ("controlling my feelings for too long"). Also, Matt's trying to say that people like to take advantage of you if you're too submissive ("visions of greed you wallow/they make me dream your dreams/they make me scream your screams"). The world's a stage and very few of us are well-rehearsed for it. ;) | |

| this song i view it to be about, being bothered too much to the point where you just explode, something i believe should never be done. | |

| The one thing that really got me was the moment when his goes up to what seems to be 8 octaves. | |
