Great Muse song from 'Black Holes and Revelations'. Is the longest song on the album at 6:06 minutes long, with just instrumentals at first, with no lyrics until 2:06 minutes in. The meaning of the song is quite hard to determine, but the following is my interpretation of it.
Cydonia is a region of Mars where life was rumoured to have once existed. The knights are either the 4 horsemen of the apocolypse or just plain knights. Either way, they tell the people of Cydonia that "God falls asleep on the job", encouraging them to destroy God, saying "how can we win, when fools can be kings?". The people of Cydonia destroy God, under the influence of the knights. In the future of this 'story', in todays present, the cycle has gone full circle, with Governments now in control, but are asleep on the job. This theory is the culmination of my and my friends opinions, and has not just been taken off the internet, so may of course be totally wrong, but I think it ties in well with the political nature of the album.
Another loose theory is that it's linked with 'Sing for Absolution', from one of Muse's older albums, 'Absolution', watch the video to see why.

Also a gorgeous heart breaking badass, and sees the beauty in life and people. If you ever meet one, treasure her. They look best with red or brunette hair, and with blue or green eyes. Lovers not fighters. They put people's feelings before their own. They are talented in school and/or sports, and love competition.
Also a variation of Sydney, which is a very popular girl name, and is also a boys name.
Sydney is also a city in Australia.

Get the cyde mug.A bit awkward, but once you get to know her she will be the best thing you have ever had. She falls hard for one boy and has trouble moving on and can seem a bit aggressive but she is beautiful and she laughs very easily. She enjoys joking around but if you get on her bad side... you better back the fuck up before you get smacked the fuck up. She can start conversations when she’s in the mood but if something bad happens it ruins her entire month. Usually Taurus, and can be friends with anyone if she really wants to be. She is a wild thing, one in a million, never lose a Cydnei.. you’ll never know how much you mean to her.

Get the Cydnei mug.The App Store (like the Apple App Store) but for jailbroken devices to get themes, jailbreak only games, and apps. “Saurik” developed the app to be a replacement of Installer.app, the previously used jailbreak store. You install Cydia by using exploits like checkra1n and unc0ver.
