MK Ultra Lyrics

The wavelength gently grows
Coercive notions re-evolve
A universe is trapped inside a tear
It resonates the core,
creates unnatural laws
Replaces love and happiness with fear

How much deception can you take?
How many lies will you create?
How much longer until you break?
Your mind's about to fall

And they are breaking through
And they are breaking through
They are breaking through
(We are losing control)
They are breaking through
They are breaking through
They are breaking through
Now we're falling, We are losing control

Invisible to all, the mind becomes a wall
All of history deleted with one stroke

How much deception can you take?
How many lies will you create?
How much longer until you break?
Your mind's about to fall

And they are breaking through
They are breaking through
They are breaking through
Now we're falling
We are losing control

MK Ultra was a CIA program where they experimented with mind control. Highly qualified Nazi scientists were employed to conduct these tests. They also experimented with other things that had brutal results. I can't remember what they were trying to find but far too many people died from being tested on. I think HAARP was started from MK Ultra as well. I think Muse should run the world.

Fucking epic song though.

They were trying to find ways of drugging people without them noticing it to make it easier to do the interrogations.

If you are into the MK ultra thing, few things for you to check out (I know Muse would be proud of me for spreading the conspiracy theories around LOL)

Do some reading on the People's Temple in particular, the Jonestown event. Some believe this place was a testing ground for MK ultra. Hyper-inducing drugs to try to brainwash people and make them believe whatever. The Mass suicide that took place there was also believed to be an extermination caused by the CIA. And speaking of the CIA, Jim Jones, the leader of the People's Temple, was believed to have been working with the CIA.

The docter the head project MK Ultra was Sidney Gottlieb (an interesting read). He'd inject barbituates in one arm and simultaneously inject amephetamines in the patients other arm. He was also behind several assassination attempts made by the CIA.

This is so far my favourite song off the album, it seems to have a lot more energy than the rest. However, I am yet to listen to Exogenesis yet.

My Opinion

I haven't heard Exogenesis either, but I heard that was released as a single from The Resistance, so there's potential there.

Now, I'm only saying, but how could you say that this song has not as much energy as Uprising? I love the opening riff of Ultra though, I'll give you that.

This song makes me jizz. Enough said.

This song tells obviously a part of the 1984 story. BUT by giving this song an actual title, he wants to make us see that George Orwell's prediction is coming true. That's the message of the whole album, in fact.

It's totally about Project MK Ultra , but as usual, you can read it on different levels if you want.....

When I've read on wiki what this CIA atrocity was I was "holy shit Bellamy is one crazy genius" ! Cause what impresses me the most with this track is HOW the SOUND and I mean every single bit of it fits TOTALLY with the mental state those poor people were while the CIA was playing with their minds and brains.

It's totally like it, a slow fall to darkness and insanity....

Pure Masterpiece

Growing up I had these neighbors, who were exceptionally nice people, in college they told me of their CIA work... not on MK Ultra but a very similar program involving phenethylamines (MDA, MDMA, 2CB, 2CT7 etc) initially as an interrogation tool but it quickly shifted to treating PTSD (battle fatigue) in our veterans. They had HUGE success until some “important” person who had the “Reefer Madness” mentality shut the program down... thankfully, they kept LOTS of samples (and the recipes) and their popularity and parties made a lot more sense...

best song on the album, imo.

and obviously, it'a about Project MK Ultra.

Song Meaning

his talking about the nwo illuminati lies, deception, and now that this information is available on the internet and accessable to everyone basically, r history can be deleted in one stroke, hence when you find the true history of humanity all the history uve been taught has been lies. so basically saying how much longer will we take this. i don't think the song is specifically about mkultra but more of a general outlook on the current situation, but since the song is titled that it will spark people to do their research on what really has been going on. very good song, but risky lyrics considering muse is pretty big

it's what I like about them (Muse), they are not afraid to speak out about the 'hidden truths', while many bands/musicians/artists are too afraid to even acknowledge 'em.

"seek the truths for yourself, and the truth will set you free"

I WANT to hear it at the end of Mass Effect 3!
