Muscles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woooooooo
aaaaaaaah (x 8)

there are people who are pushing me on the train
screaming from the top of buildings
"youre gonna get whats coming"
and i dont know how to react
or if i should fight back

he could have a knife
stab me in the gut
bleeding on the floor
shoulda kept my mouth shut

and i dont know how to react
or if i should fight back

(ice cream is gonna save the day)

ice cream is gonna save the day
ice cream is gonna save the day, again (x2)

i dont need a number
i just wanna dance with my shirt off
and i dont want no other
i just wanna dance

he could have a knife
stab me in the gut
bleeding on the floor
shoulda kept my mouth shut

and i dont know how to react
or if i should fight back

woooooooo
aaaaaaaah (x 4)

ice cream is gonna save the day
ice cream is gonna save the day, again (x 4)

i dont need a number
i just wanna dance with my shirt off




and i dont want no other
i just wanna dance (x 4)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Muscles's song "Ice Cream" seem to be about feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of society and not knowing how to react to them. The first verse describes people pushing and threatening him on a train, and he is unsure of whether to fight back or not. He mentions the possibility of being stabbed and regretting speaking up.


However, the chorus brings a hopeful message: "ice cream is gonna save the day." It's unclear whether this is meant to be taken literally or metaphorically, but either way it seems to be a comfort to the singer. The second verse continues with similar themes, expressing a desire to dance and let loose without worrying about anyone else's expectations.


One possible interpretation of this song is that it's about the struggles of being true to yourself in a world that can be oppressive and judgmental. The singer is grappling with fears of violence and rejection, but finds solace in something as simple as ice cream. The repetition of "wooooooo/aaaaaah" throughout the song adds to the sense of feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do.


Overall, "Ice Cream" is a catchy and somewhat ambiguous song that could be interpreted in a variety of ways. It touches on themes of fear, self-expression, and the small joys that can make life more bearable.

I don't why but 12 years later I got the urge to search this song on YouTube. Ice cream will always save the day ❤️

Ice Cream could be taken as a universal sign for peace, it does symbolize the summer as a cool refreshment your mouth always awaits to enjoy during a hot simmering day in the sun; Thus used to cool down a stuffy hot-tempered situation broken out in a crammed tight train.
