citizen erased

A song by Muse. Regarded as the finest piece of music by decent music fans. Can be found as track 6 on Origin of Symmetry.

Matthew Bellamy has said the song could be about: "It's an expression of what it feels like to be questioned. I spend more time than most people being asked about purpose, and it's a strange feeling. I don't really have the answers and I have to respond on the knowledge I have obtained so far, but the problem is that it gets printed, and something else has come along that's made you completely disagree with what you said".

It could also be a refer to Orwell's '1984' in which citizens are erased and lies control society.
Citizen Erased, the greatest song ever.

Citizen 'X' 

The grisly Russian mass-murderer, Andrei Chikatilo, about whom the 1994 movie, "CITIZEN 'X'" was about.
"That scum murderer ruined the name CITIZEN 'X' when it was appropriated to him by the media. I greatly resent that a murderer is associated with a name otherwise useful to depict an average "Joe Citizen."

Citizen Kane 

Orson Welles co-wrote, direted and starred in 1941's Citizen Kane, which is widely thought of as the best US film ever made.
That movie stole a lot of ideas from Citizen Kane

Citizen 'X' 

Just a plain old normal dude; an 'everyman'; sample example of standard good citizen.
"The police, who allegedly protect and serve the public welfare, often act as an armed terrorist organization. CITIZEN 'X' has much to legitimately fear when he sees their party lights in his rearview mirror."

Citizen Kane 

A brilliant motion picture that is widely praised by critics and moviemakers alike (in particular the european 60's generation) as greatly revolutionary for the very language of cinema as an art form. By creating basic structures upon which the narrative dwells itself,the movie takes a self-referential dimension and,by linking itself to a certain barroque/modern aesthetic, creates the paradox of art as a means of dialetic approach from the creator to the audience and the audience to the creator. Was Rosebud really the sled? If so, what have we,as an audience,learnt about kane? Is kane even a character or just a disparate fragmentation of various claims of the people he never knew or let be known by?In the end,when the camera paves the labyrinth of crude materials that we attribute to Kane (as a character),which one defines him? What is the movie more than a puzzle?

In the end,a masterpiece about identity,perhaps of a character,perhaps of movies as an art form (what should we watch? What does it mean to be a watcher in a movie? Should it be a passive,artificial purpose?) and perhaps even of America in the first half of the XXth century.

While some like to negate its merits by it being "overrated",said people just can't surpass the veil of simplicity the movie creates for itself,so the notion of mistery is reinforced.
