@Musiclover: flashbacks are always fun for me, especially if there's a catch at the end. Unfortunately I haven't listened to that song by Rihanna, but from lyrics and your concept it sounded cool. I actually had a different vision for Russian Roulette, which is by far my most favorite song by RiRi, but I'll discuss it later. If you have some of your own ideas about RR, I'd glad to hear.
@Lark: But I have never really heard Matthew Bellamy talk about 1984 as his inspiration in any of the interviews, which is weird...maybe I missed it?
Edit: I stand corrected
I just googled and it looks like Matthew did acknowledge 1984 as his main inspiration in many interviews. I'm such a bad Muse stan
and basing your lyrics on the ideas off of the books is so intelligent and praise-worthy
