Silliest Muse Lyrics?
Now don't get me wrong. Matt Bellamy is an amazing songwriter, singer, guitarist and pianist. His lyrics, though, are hit and miss. There are some really great ones, of course, but then there are other that just come off as incredibly silly, whether they're stretch rhymes, confused metaphors, or otherwise. And we're here to talk about them today, so feel free to post your best worst Muse lyrics!
Here are some of my favorites. "I have played in every toilet / but you still want to spoil it" ~from Muscle Museum, Muscle Museum EP (1998) "You do it to me sweetly, to my yeah-yeah" ~from Agitated, Uno single (1999) "It’s happening soon / It’s happening soon / It’s scent has been blowing in my direct-shoon" ~from Fillip, Showbiz (1999) "Stretch it like a birth squeeze" ~from New Born, Origin of Symmetry (2001) "Brainwashing our children to be mean" ~from Supremacy, The 2nd Law (2012) "Your aaaaaaaaassssss belongs to me now" ~from Psycho, Drones (2015) |
You've got strength, you've got soul
You've felt pain, you've felt love You can grow (you can grow!) You can grow (you can grow!) You can make this world what you want You can revoooooolt |
Maybe not the silliest ever in my agenda, but still...
"I will light the fuse / And I'll never lose" (Survival). That straight rhyme gets me every time (oh, gosh... Now I've made one, too). :chuckle: |

"Brainwashing our children to be mean" and "And we'll pray that there's no God To punish us and make a fuss" are the worst offenders imo. Otherwise good lyrics that are ruined by one world which makes it feel really childish.

The "make a fuss" line in Fury infuriates me and ruins a cracking song. |

Time Is Running Out
Quote:
"Now that you know I'm trapped / Since ovulation" ~from Time Is Running Out I've heard people say different thing about this line. I know that the lyric sheet actually says "sense of elation," but the original version released said "since ovulation." Not sure if that was a misprint or a last minute change. Quote:

Matt just can't hit a lot of the notes, likely.
He's never been embarrassed by stuff like "birth squeeze" and I imagine he probably enjoys a good fart joke. I mean, this is the guy who draws penises in guest books... |
