Big Freeze

Big Freeze

Muse

This song seems to connect to the album’s title, which itself is a reference to the 2nd law of thermodynamics. This song seems to be talking about the fact that endless economic growth and human advancement is unsustainable, as mentioned in “The 2nd Law: Unsustainable”, and that eventually growth will stop altogether, which makes the name “Big Freeze” make sense. However, this song seems to take this concept in a hopeless path, as Matt Bellamy seems to think that the growth will stop completely soon.

The good thing is that eventually these freezes will end and growth will resume.
