This song is actually really deep. Muscle and Museum are palindromes. That relates to this song's meaning, which is about how sometimes one element of your being prevents another for achieving what it wants (ex. you are physically attracted to another girl while your mind tells you that you already have a girlfriend). It is also about the frustration that arises from conflicts like these.
It's weird the way my mind reacts to this song. Even after listening to it hundreds and hundreds of time, I'm so madly in love with it... I mean I had to stop myself about 4 times when writting this message so I could mimic the guitar in this... Its like the notes, the rythm and the feeling it gives, it's all so perfect.Even if Muscle Museum isn't as popular as some others, I sitll believe this to be their ultimate song.
My favourite Muse song, and my favourite video. Such a great commentary on modern suburban life..... everyone's unhappy with what they have, but no-one stops what they're doing, because, well, they can't.
@mastermanio2 Muse looked for the word before muse and after muse on a dictionary and that's haw they came out with Muscle Museum...maybe its an old dictionary but that's the way they did it..
That one dislike must be from someone who read through the comments regarding the comments rather than the music. Some of you people should really go see a doctor! If you can't figure out what this song is about, there's gotta be something wrong with you. Maybe you people just didn't yet realize what world you live in!
What do you think about this story? I think that Matt wanted to note how many man missed some great opportunities, and out of the game (It's esape your world), and so is quietly piles up, until one realizes too late that it can fit into a big museum.
@JaimeeMusicHead A: on muse wiki it says they r talking about their boring teignmouth hometown so i reckon all these crying people r trapped in their repetive daily lives in their plain old town and have had enough but wat can they do?nothing but clever muse got out while they still cud
B: you assume that I am a ignorant twilight-muse fan because of my name even though I was a muse fan way before and
C: I dont care for you juvenile opinion so YOU SHOULD JUST ACCEPT THAT. ;)
@cc88291008 its a staement on how the american dream is a lie, basically, and how when people come here looking for "the american dream", they find out that nothing is ever good enough and that everyone is either striving to bring you down to give themselves a boost, or that no matter what your personal dream is, you will never be able to fulfill it.
@cc88291008 The video is about how everyone can be a cry baby. Did you see the sign Baby on Board? There was no baby, only the mom being a crybaby. It is about how people of all ages can be crybabies in need of attention.
on muse wiki it says they r talking about their boring teignmouth hometown so i reckon all these crying people r trapped in their repetive daily lives in their plain old town and have had enough but wat can they do?nothing but clever muse got out while they still cud
are they all crying cause the babys dead or something? cause the baby on board thing but theres no baby. they could all be related. the brother/sister the dad the mom the neighbors.. i've watched this so many times and have come up with a lot of different things. but this could be it... or maybe crying over the death of a loved one. i'll find out one of these days
@BeatDemon08 lol it's just a video to show that, despite that all the people have supposedly reached the "american dream" (the guy with the typical fraternity jacket, the beautful blonde girl, the rich man...) they are still extremely unhappy :(
@jack101093 it's showing that they are miserable on the inside and that it is brought out on the outside. the name might imply seeing things on the outside but not knowing what's in the inside
@clover36952 Basically they're on about what it was like to be trapped in teignmouth and these people are crying because they know they are trapped in their repetitive lives, in they're dull town and there is nothing left for them there but there's nothing they can do about it... not very happy :P did that help?
this is my fave muse song... i love how in the video they have like duct tape on their guitars and micro-phones... really emphasises the meaning of the song, gettin the point across... they're soo young here..blessss :p id luv to see them playin dis live...x

I wonder what they have realised, to make them all so sad?
by the symbolism of what they were all occupied doing, I'd say that they realised they were trapped in a world planned by anothers.
Crying for their imprisonment in the NWO, and no view of escape
It sure makes me sad
