In this intense track, Muse delves into themes of missed opportunities and unmet potential. The song expresses a sense of disillusionment and disappointment towards someone who failed to live up to expectations. Despite the possibility of achieving greatness—being "number one" and ruling the world—this person squandered their chances. The lyrics highlight the frustration of seeing potential go unfulfilled, with phrases like "you blew this away" underscoring lost opportunities. There's an emotional detachment as the repetition of "means nothing to me" suggests the narrator's resolve to move on. Ultimately, the song captures the bittersweet realization that someone once close to achieving incredible things has let it all slip away, leaving a void where there could have been shared success and joy.
