One of the first songs Muse ever recorded, first appearing on the Muse EP before being released as a single before featuring on Showbiz. The versions on the Muse EP and Showbiz differ.

"Cave" was known as Nova Scotia before the release of the Muse EP.[1]

Matthew Bellamy

"The idea for Cave came from that rubbish American book, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. There's this bit about how men go into a cave when they get stressed and I think that's probably true, although, personally, I tend to let it out. I did have a bit of a tantrum in my hotel bathroom last night - but I managed to repair the toilet, so that's OK."

"Cave" is featured in the soundtrack for the movie Little Nicky.

A live favourite on the tours between 1999-2001. Bellamy disliked playing the song live[2] due, firstly, to it being an old song[2] and, secondly, to the sustained vocal note[2] during the "cave" in "so come in my cave". It was played for the first time in 8 years at Teignmouth on piano instead of guitar and half a step down.

Lyrics

Leave me alone, it's nothing serious.

I'll do it myself, it's got nought to do with you And there's nothing you could do.

You can see it and you can almost hear it too, You can almost taste it, it's nought to do with you And there's still nothing that you could do.

So come in my cave and I'll burn your heart away. Come in my cave, and I'll burn your heart away.

Please close your ears and try to look away So you'll never hear a single word I say and don't ever come my way.

Leave me alone, it's nothing serious. I'll do it myself, it's got nought to do with you And there's still nothing you could do.

So come in my cave, and I'll burn your heart away. Come in my cave, and arrest me for my mistakes. Yeah.
