Following the early teasers of 'Psycho' and 'Dead Inside', Muse have shared another track from their forthcoming album Drones.
Seeing the band in ballad mode, Matt Bellamy has offered an explanation of the tune: “The opening line of 'Mercy' - 'Help me I’ve fallen on the inside’ - is a reference to the protagonist knowing and recognizing that they have lost something, they have lost themselves. This is where they realize they’re being overcome by the dark forces that were introduced in 'Psycho'.”
Can anyone say concept album? Either way, we won't have long to wait; Drones hits shelves on June 5. In the meantime, check out the lyric video for 'Mercy' below.
