LETRAS > Muscle Museum
She had something to confess to
But you don’t have the time
So, look the other way
You will wait until its over
To reveal what you’d never shown her
Too little much too late
Too long trying to resist it
You’ve just gone and missed it
It’s escaped your world
Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give?
And I don’t want you to adore me
Don’t want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And I’ll do it on my own
I have played in every toilet
But you still want to spoil it
To prove I’ve made a big mistake
Too long trying to resist it
You’ve just gone and missed it
It’s escaped your world
Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give?
And I don’t want you to adore me
Don’t want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
I’ll do it on my own
So, I’ll do it on my own
I’ll do it all by myself
You will never make it
[Comentários]
- Muscle Museum foi umas das primeiras músicas escritas que entrou no álbum Showbiz. Ela se originou de um ensaio aleatório na casa de Bellamy.
Matthew diz que a música fala sobre conflitos entre o corpo, a alma e a mente. A filosofia controversa do querer e da consciência. Muscle Museum também tinha relações com a possibilidade das pessoas no futuro não possuírem corpos, idéia que, como muitas outras músicas do Muse, veio de um livro que ele havia lido na época.
O nome da música veio de uma busca aleatória no dicionário.
