Description
A song influenced by contemporary R&B such as Timbaland[3], using a drum machine and vocoder-laden vocals.[2] Matt plays neither guitar nor piano on "Undisclosed Desires",[3] whilst Chris plays slap bass.[4] The result is apparently very reminiscent of Depeche Mode.[2] According to Matt the song is very personal in nature, relating to his relationship with his girlfriend.[5]
For live performances, Matt plays his Keytarcaster Manson.
When played live the synth intro Matt plays sounds similar to Depeche Mode's Live Synth Intro of "Enjoy The Silence"[6][7]
Matt said, "This is something totally new for the band. It is influenced by contemporary R'n'B and a little of the David Bowie album 'Ashes to Ashes'. It is a song about love and the dark secrets that lovers share."
Matt also said he thought Muse fans would absolutely hate the song but is pleasantly surprised with the reaction. He believes this is his favourite song off the album because it's completely different than anything they've ever done before and this is the type of sound they would like to explore in future albums.

Lyrics
I know you've suffered But I don't want you to hide It's cold and loveless I won't let you be denied Soothing I'll make you feel pure Trust me You can be sure I want to reconcile the violence in your heart I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask I want to exorcise the demons from your past I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart You trick your lovers That you're wicked and divine You may be a sinner But your innocence is mine Please me Show me how it's done Tease me You are the one I want to reconcile the violence in your heart I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask I want to exorcise the demons from your past I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart Please me Show me how it's done Trust me You are the one I want to reconcile the violence in your heart I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask I want to exorcise the demons from your past I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
