#MusicMonday ft. Muscle Museum by Muse

Don't you just love alliterations? šŸ˜


Today Iā€™m taking a leaf from the book of Drew a.k.a. @SarcasticEnigma (https://thetattooedbookgeek.wordpress.com/) and joining Music Monday!


Last week I heard Muscle Museum on the radio and I havenā€™t been able to get it out of my head since. This song was released in 1999 and I still remember the first time I saw the music video. It features, among other people, a man crying while brushing his teeth. I, at the time a moody teenager, was so touched by that image that it stuck with me all these years, melodramatic though it may be!


I love everything about this song, from the dramatic music to the sad but beautiful lyrics:


She had something to confess to

But you don't have the time

So look the other way

You will wait until it's 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

And 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

Yeah, 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

And 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

Yeah, and I'll do it on my own

And I'll do it all by myself

You will never make it
