Map Of Your Head
!Muse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sick of feeding my soul
To people who'll never know
Just how purposeless and empty they've grown
Because their language confuses like
Computers refuse to understand how I'm feeling today

I'm freezing, and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head
I am freezing, and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head

I saw a liquid control
That gives life to our soul
I hit my head on it and woke up to know
That I was all alone
Wearing just socks and a phone
Someone screaming like their world might explode

Yeah, I'm freezing, and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head
I'm freezing, and losing my way
I don't want another map of your head

Freezing, and losing my way
I don't want another map of your head




I'm freezing, and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Map Of Your Head" by Muse convey a sense of frustration and disillusionment that the singer is experiencing towards others. The lyrics begin with the singer expressing dissatisfaction with how they have been giving so much of themselves to people who will never truly understand or appreciate them. They lament that the people they engage with are so distant and disconnected that they confuse them like a computer, unable to understand the singer's emotional state. This is interesting to note as it gives us insight into the perspective of the singer and their feelings of isolation and loneliness.


As the song progresses, the singer goes on to describe an experience where they have seen a "liquid control" that gives life to the soul. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for spiritual enlightenment or philosophical awakening. However, this momentary feeling of enlightenment is interrupted when the singer wakes up to realize that they are alone, surrounded by chaos and screaming that threatens to overwhelm them. This moment again highlights the singer's sense of isolation and hopelessness, despite glimpses of enlightenment they may have had.


Overall, the song highlights the singer’s realization that they don’t need another map of someone else’s head—or another person's understanding, expectations, or validation. Instead, they need to find their own way and discover their own truths about themselves and the world. This is interesting to note, as the song seems to be encouraging the listener to find their own path through the confusion and uncertainty of life.
