Question about Muse's Plug in baby song?

what the heck is it about?


Answers:

Matthew always changes his answer to this question, but here are a few different ideas:

Quote from songmeanings.net:
The meaning of the song is Matt Belamy's love for his guitar; how he can revel in something he's good at, sing in expression to the world if he doesn't like someone rather than saying it to their face. It lets him escape the world or 'crucify his enemies'. Hence, 'plug in baby' would mean plugging in his guitar.

Dom's idea in an interview:
That song’s about putting emotion into something that has no soul - like a child’s teddy bear or a computer. [And also what it would be like if we could genetically engineer puppies that never grow old.]

And a ton of quotes from Matthew Bellamy on the subject. It seems even he is confused about it. Haha:
Interviewer: "Hey, Matt, what's your plug in baby?"
Matt: "My plug in baby is my own physical body. I'm using it objectively a bit more these days. I'm not in it, I'm sort of using it. I can't explain what I mean. I make it do things now that I used to be worried about. What is it? I don't know. It's like I am my own ventriloquist. Oh, I can't remember. Help me!"
Dom: "You've said it before. You've said, 'Blah, blah, blah, and that's my plug in baby'."
Matt: "I've explained what the meaning of it is, but I don't know what it is. It's definitely myself, I think. [to Dom] Do you think we've lost it in the last few weeks? Just blown it?"
Interviewer: "Now, is it true, because i was told that you said Plug in Baby was about genetically engineering puppies to live forever. Did you say that?"
Matt: "I say alot of things"

Groupie fan guy in crowd wearing an Absolution t-shirt: "What does plug in baby mean?"
Matt: "Oh s****! Ummm... It means... errr... [to Dom] Help me out. Erm It means... what does it mean? Ummm I can't remember sorry."

Matt: "It is about how we project our emotions from our innerselves into technologies around us. 'Plug In Baby' is like a made up term for 'that thing we do. I think in a generation of pretty much athanism and none spiritual times technology becomes a way of feeling connected to people".

Matt: We were all off our faces on mushrooms when we recorded Plug In Baby... There was this big field next to the recording studio filled with them. So we ate them all. I don't know what we were doing, but we all ended up naked in a jacuzzi and i went deaf in one ear from falling asleep in the sauna...

And that's just a bit of what I can find. Enjoy! I know I enjoyed reading this. It was hilarious! Hehe
