**Muse - *'Dead Inside' [Lyric Video]***

*'Dead Inside'* is the latest single from *Drones* due June 8th, which will carry a story throughout the album; *"This is where the story of the album begins,"* Matt Bellamy [explains](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/hear-muses-relationship-horror-song-dead-inside-41160/)*, "where the protagonist loses hope and becomes 'Dead Inside,' therefore vulnerable to the dark forces introduced in '[Psycho](https://altwire.net/muse-go-psycho-on-new-track/).'"*
