Muse - Uprising music video

How do the song lyrics and the video help develop the theme of Chaos and Revolution? To what extent does the lyric speaker show confidence and trust?

 In the video the theme of Chaos and Revolution is represented by:
  • The city  is destroyed and some parts are on fire, thats show the city is in a bad condition and in a sort of chaos like something (a revolution maybe)
  • During all the video teddy bears are shown like if they are bad,(maybe) like if they control the people. Also one of the guitarist destroyed a window were there where televisions with teddy bears on them. Another thing with teddy bears is that the people are burning them.
  • After burning the teddy bears, some of them that are buried start resurrecting like zombies, and they start causing chaos on the city (they are destroying it).
All this elements on the video generate the sensation of Chaos and Revolution.
The lyrics help develop the theme of Chaos an Revolution, because they are always saying that they are not going to be control, they are going to take the power.
  • Interchanging mind control,
    Come let the revolution take it's toll,
    If you could flick a switch and open your third eye,
    You'd see that
    We should never be afraid to die....
  • ...Rise up and take the power back...
  • ...They will not force us,
    They will stop degrading us,
    They will not control us,
    We will be victorious
    So come on...
In these parts of the song we can see that they are calling to a revolution, they want to stop the Chaos that is at the place where they are.
The lyric speaker shows confidence in the way that his voice is always in a powerful/deep way, he is also, in some parts, saying each word in 2-3 seconds and that make a sensation of power in his voice.
