Information
"Resistance" opens with piano and drums and has a Queen-esque chorus.[2] Described in NME magazine as having "tribals drums and a piano melody in the style of 'Starlight.'"[3] In the September 2009 issue of Spin, Matt said, "The song 'Resistance' is basically a retelling of the relationship between Winston and Julia," in reference to the two main characters of George Orwell's 1984.

[Lyrics in brackets from reviews of album]
Is our secret safe tonight? And are we out of sight? Or will our world come crumbling down? Will they find our hiding place? Is this our last embrace? Or will the walls start caving in? It could be wrong, could be wrong, But it should've been right, It could be wrong, could be wrong, To let our hearts ignite, It could be wrong, could be wrong, Are we digging a hole? It could be wrong, could be wrong, This is outta control, It could be wrong, could be wrong, It could never last, It could be wrong, could be wrong, Must erase it fast, It could be wrong, could be wrong, But it should've been right, It could be wrong, could be wrong, Love is our resistance, They'll keep us apart and it won't stop breaking us down. Hold me, Our lips must always be sealed. If we live our life in fear, I'll wait a thousand years, Just to see you smile again. Calm your prayers for love and peace, You'll wake the Thought Police, We can hide the truth inside. It could be wrong, could be wrong, But it should've been right, It could be wrong, could be wrong, To let our hearts ignite, It could be wrong, could be wrong, Are we digging a hole? It could be wrong, could be wrong, This is outta control, It could be wrong, could be wrong, It could never last, It could be wrong, could be wrong, Must erase it fast, It could be wrong, could be wrong, But it should've been right, It could be wrong, could be wrong, Love is our resistance, They'll keep us apart and it won't stop breaking us down. Hold me, Our lips must always be sealed. And our dream has reached its end, We can't pretend, We must run, ???, We must run, We must run, Take us away from here, Protect us from the harm Resistance!
