Citizen Erased is the sixth track of Muse's second album, Origin of Symmetry. The track is 7 minutes and 21 seconds long, making it the longest track of Muse's history. The song has long been a fan favourite, and in July 2007, a Muse fan site, Muselive.com, launched a campaign [1] to get it into the singles charts through various download sources. The track managed to get to number 1 on the British download company 7digital's charts, but failed to make it into the official UK Top 40.
Matthew Bellamy has described the song thus: "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"[2].
The guitar parts were recorded with a seven-string guitar. Live, the guitar part is played on a seven-string, with the tuning, low to high, AADDGBE, the A strings an octave apart and the D strings at the same pitch.
