Muscle Museum Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Karmapd 

Cover art for Muscle Museum lyrics by Muse

Matthew Bellamy once said in an interview that the song is actually about the time the band spent at home in Devon, trying to make it. Putting 120% of their energy in performances for 5 people at the local pub, but not even being given the chance to show what they could. The song is to be about the frustrations they experienced when scrubbing toilets for a living...not even being given the chance.
