About This Track

‘Agitated’ by Muse is a 1998 Pop track from the album ‘Uno’. The lyrics are a portrait of escalating dread, with sleeplessness, fear, and a mind that will not settle. Images of warning signs and mounting tension culminate in a sense of paralysis, as if the speaker is trapped by the thought of dying. One lyric phrase captures the spiralling state: “So afraid to die”.

"Agitated" is a track by Muse, from the album Uno, released 11th March 1998. The track is 2:22 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 19 articles about Muse.

Lyrics

Agitated

All wound up
On the edge
Terrified
Sleep disturbed
Restless mind
Petrified
Bouts of fear
Permeate
All I see
Heightening
Nervousness
Theatens me

I am paralyzed
So afraid to die

Caught off guard
Warning signs
Never show
Tension strikes
Choking me
Worries grow

Why do I feel so numb?
Has it something to do with where I come from?
Should this be fight or flight?
I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight

Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest
Agitated body in distress
I feel like I'm in danger
Daily life is strangled by my stress
A stifling surge shooting through all my veins
Extreme apprehension, suddenly I'm insane

No strong hope for redemption
A grave situation desperate at best

Why do I feel so numb?
Has it something to do with where I come from?
Should this be fight or flight?
I don't know why I'm constantly reeling

Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety

Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety

Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium
