Follow Me Lyrics
[Verse]
When darkness falls and surrounds you
When you fall down, when you're scared and you're lost
Be brave
I'm coming to hold you now
When all your strength has gone
And you feel wrong, like your life has slipped away
[Pre-Chorus]
Follow me, you can follow me
And I, I will not desert you now
When your fire's died out
No one's there, they have left you for dead
[Chorus]
Follow me, you can follow me
I will keep you safe
Follow me (Oh-oh), you can follow me (Woah, oh-oh)
I will protect you
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
I won't let them hurt, hurting you, no
Ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah
When your heart is breaking
When darkness falls and surrounds you
When you fall down, when you're scared and you're lost
Be brave
I'm coming to hold you now
When all your strength has gone
And you feel wrong, like your life has slipped away
[Pre-Chorus]
Follow me, you can follow me
And I, I will not desert you now
When your fire's died out
No one's there, they have left you for dead
[Chorus]
Follow me, you can follow me
I will keep you safe
Follow me (Oh-oh), you can follow me (Woah, oh-oh)
I will protect you
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
I won't let them hurt, hurting you, no
Ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah
When your heart is breaking
[Chorus]
You can follow me (Oh-oh), you can follow me (Woah, oh-oh)
I will always keep you safe (Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Follow me (Oh-oh), you can trust in me (Woah, oh-oh)
I will always protect you, my love
[Outro]
Oh, oh-oh-oh, feel my love
Oh, oh-oh-oh, feel my love
Oh, oh-oh-oh, ooh
You can follow me (Oh-oh), you can follow me (Woah, oh-oh)
I will always keep you safe (Woah, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Follow me (Oh-oh), you can trust in me (Woah, oh-oh)
I will always protect you, my love
[Outro]
Oh, oh-oh-oh, feel my love
Oh, oh-oh-oh, feel my love
Oh, oh-oh-oh, ooh
About
Genius Annotation
“Follow Me” is the third single from The 2nd Law, released 7 December 2012.
The song is widely recognised as an ‘ode to fatherhood’. This is reinforced by the beginning, which features the heartbeat of his unborn son (eventually named Bingham Hawn Bellamy), who he had with his then wife Kate Hudson.
It was produced by Muse with Nero, whose influence can be heard in the dubstep-like beat of the chorus.
The music video is a compilation of live performances, mixed in an incredibly cheesy fashion.
