Muse- Stockholm Syndrome

Stockholm Syndrome by Muse
(c) Warner Bros Records/WMG

Lyrics:
I won't stand in your way
Let your hatred grow
And she'll scream and she'll shout and she'll pray
And she had a name. Yea she had a name

And I won't hold you back
Let your anger rise
And we'll fly and we'll fall and we'll burn
Noone will recall. Noone will recall

This is the last time I'll abandon you
And this is the last time I'll forget you
I wish I could

Look to the stars
Let hope burn in your eyes
And we'll love and we'll hope and we'll die
All to no avail. All to no avail.

This is the last time I'll abandon you
And this is the last time I'll forget you
I wish I could
This is the last time I'll abandon you
And this is the last time I'll forget you
I wish I could
I wish I could

Song Meaning:
Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in an abducted hostage, in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger (or at least risk) in which the hostage has been placed. This is the song's theme, as reflected in lyrics such as, "This is the last time I'll forget you/I wish I could."

The syndrome is named after the Norrmalmstorg robbery of Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg, Stockholm, Sweden, in which the bank robbers held bank employees hostage and the victims became emotionally attached to their victimisers, and even defended their captors after they were freed from their six-day ordeal.

@ehrikitah This song is most certainly not in that shitty movie. It was made waaay before Twi-Shite was even an idea in what's her face's mind. For the record, only 2 Muse songs were in that "movie" and Muse even said they regretted allowing them to be used.

Also, in this context "their" would be used not "there"...

@xXMegan920Xx You my friend need a high five, with a chair, to the face for even thinking Blink 182 is better than Muse.

What is really gorgeous in Muse's songs, is that the music and Matthew's voice are such expressive that even if you don't understand a word in English, you can easily imagine and feel something just by listenin
