"Resistance" is a song by English alternative rock band Muse, featured on their fifth studio album The Resistance. Written by vocalist, guitarist and pianist Matthew Bellamy, it was released as the third single from the album, following "Uprising" and "Undisclosed Desires", on 22 February 2010.

Muse are an English rock band from Teignmouth, Devon, formed in 1994. The band consists of school friends Matthew Bellamy (lead vocals, lead guitar, piano, keyboards, keytar), Christopher Wolstenholme (bass, vocals, keyboards, Misa Kitara, harmonica) and Dominic Howard (drums, percussion, synthesisers).

Muse are known for their energetic and extravagant live performances and their fusion of many music genres, including space rock, progressive rock, alternative rock, symphonic rock and electronica. They were also nominated for five Grammy Awards, of which they won Best Rock Album, for their fifth studio album The Resistance (2009). To date, Muse have sold over 15 million albums worldwide.


Most earlier Muse songs lyrically dealt with introspective themes, including relationships, social alienation, and difficulties they had encountered while trying to establish themselves in their hometown. However, with the band's progress, their song concepts have become more ambitious, addressing issues such as the fear of the evolution of technology in their Origin of Symmetry (2001) album. They deal mainly with the apocalypse in Absolution (2003) and with catastrophic war in Black Holes and Revelations (2006). The Resistance (2009) was a concept album based around the plot and themes of Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. Their latest album, The 2nd Law (2012) relates to economics, thermodynamics, and apocalyptic themes.

Is this our last embrace
Or will the world stop caving in?
And are we out of sight
Will our world come tumbling down?
Is our secret safe tonight
Will they find our hiding place
 
It could be wrong.Could be wrong
Are we digging a hole
It could be wrong.Could be wrong
But it should've been right
To let our hearts ignite
It could be wrong.Could be wrong
It could be wrong.Could be wrong
 
This is out of control
It could be wrong.Could be wrong
It could be wrong.Could be wrong
It could be wrong could be
It can never last
But it could've been right
Must erase it fast
It could be wrong.Could be wrong
 
Hold me
Our lips must always be sealed
they wont stop breaking us down
They'll keep us apart
Love is our resistance
 
Just to see you smile again
I'll wait a thousand years
If we live our life in fear
You'll wake the thought police
We can't hide the truth inside
Kill the prayers for love and peace

We can't pretend
The night has reached it's end
We must run
