[Verse 1]
We are difficult to understand
It was hard to make the simple plan work
Difficult and that's what made it burn

You're a satellite around my heart
One million miles before the start
Indescribable and that's what makes it you

[Pre-Chorus]
Shivers up and down my spine
Feet to the teeth

[Chorus]
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
We rage against the dying
Rage against the dying light

[Verse 2]
You're mysterious, you make no sense
I love you cause you're innocent
You fell out through a hole inside the sun

So magnify the best inside me
Fill the parts that you can't find me
The parts that won't give out when things get hard

[Pre-Chorus]
Shivers up and down my spine
Feet to the teeth

[Chorus]
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
We rage against the dying
Rage against the dying light

[Bridge]
Round and around in the setting sun
Round and around in the setting sun
Round and around in the setting sun
Round and around and around and around and around

[Chorus]
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Rage against the dying
Rage against the dying light

[Outro]
I'm with you
(Big bright world)
I'm with you
I'm with you
(Big bright world)
I'm with you
I'm with you
(In this big, bright world)
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you

Garbage is a Scottish-American Alternative rock band, formed April 8th 1994. Once producer Butch Vig decided to break out of the rock he had been producing ever since Nirvana’s Nevermind, he got together with his college/studio partners Duke Erikson and Steve Marker to write some demos that would basically be remixes in song form. Once someone commented that “it sounds like garbage”, Vig decided to embrace the name. Then they invited Scottish singer Shirley Manson after seeing her on MTV, and the band’s sound was completed with sly, dark and snarky lyrics delivered in a sultry way.

The band’s eponymous debut album was a surprise hit upon release in August 1995, selling more than 4 million copies worldwide. Follow-up Version 2.0 (1998) was equally successful, even receiving a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. Then the band recorded “The World Is Not Enough” to the eponymous James Bond movie, and the record industry started to bring the band down.

Beautiful Garbage (2001) was barely promoted due to a release too close to the 9/11 attacks, and underperformed at the charts. Fourth album Bleed Like Me (2005) had a troubled production where bandmembers were frequently arguing, and eventually the album’s tour was cut short and Garbage disbanded for 2 years, only regrouped in 2007 to record new tracks for greatest hits compilation Absolute Garbage.
