And to possess this emotional and psychological muscle, one really needs a museum piece! What kinds of artworks end up in museums? The unique ones, the rare ones, those that defy conventions, those that transcend time, the works that could never have been created within the specific spatial and temporal context in which they exist—in short, those that are ahead of their time! That is why I am here in this museum, to contextualize myself as much as possible with this text! 

Por isso escolhi duas obras de arte que romperam a barreira do tempo e que estão em importantes museus e são admiradas por milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo. Apresento-vos a Vénus de Milo e David de Michelangelo. 

That is why I have chosen two works of art that have stood the test of time, are housed in major museums, and are admired by millions of people around the world. I present to you the Venus de Milo and Michelangelo’s David.

 

Apresentados que estão os personagens da letra dos Muse, "Muscle Museum", vamos à letra da canção! Imagino a Vénus de Milo sem braços a querer confessar algo - coitadinha - e para isso tem de fazer músculo com o David de Michelangelo, que continua inteiro e belo, sempre a surpreender quem o admira, uma obra magistral. Talvez o problema da Vénus de Milo ter sido rejeitada por David, depois de se ter exibido , como diz a letra "em qualquer toilet" (talvez a TVI ou terá sido na AR), nesta luta musculada entre a alma e o corpo, só o mais focado e forte vencerá, só o de mais fortes convicções vencerá! Afinal de contas, é fazer músculo entre a vida e a morte! Nesta luta de resistência ao abuso emocional e psicológico, David já venceu o Golias e lá nas alturas em que o colocaram diz para a Vénus, deusa da beleza e do Amor, o seguinte (As frases com que termina a canção):

Now that we’ve introduced the characters from Muse’s song “Muscle Museum,” let’s dive into the lyrics! I picture the armless Venus de Milo wanting to confess something—poor thing—and to do so, she has to flex her muscles against Michelangelo’s David, who remains whole and beautiful, always surprising those who admire him—a masterpiece. Perhaps the problem is that the Venus de Milo was rejected by David after showing off, as the lyrics say, “in any bathroom” (perhaps TVI or was it in AR). In this muscular struggle between soul and body, only the most focused and strong will win; only the one with the strongest convictions will win! After all, it’s a battle of wills between life and death! In this struggle of resistance against emotional and psychological abuse, David has already defeated Goliath, and up there where they placed him, he says the following to Venus, goddess of beauty and love (the lines with which the song ends):

Philosophy has long explored this topic; after all, we are not unique in our individuality, because we can carry two distinct sets of DNA within our bodies! On the other hand, spiritually we have always known that there was a very strong bond between mother and child; now science explains that this bond truly exists biologically. I also want to add that when a person undergoes an organ transplant, it is said that this person exhibits chimerism. Currently, “chimera,” as you know, means an illusion, a fantasy, or a utopia! That is why I brought you to this mirror exhibition to show you how something that seemed impossible to explain is, after all, possible!

And you, my dear mother, are my chimera, my utopia; life by your side has been a painful adventure, but one I wouldn’t trade for anything. We are living proof that we are made of each other, and that this bond is far too strong. I love you! And that’s why I want to pay you a second tribute, because you’ve been a true warrior in facing your sudden and unexpected illness, and because, even so, you’ve defended—as only you know how—all those patients who have no voice. You make me so proud and burst with happiness that you’re such an empathetic person—a person who, after all, isn’t just like this with me, but also with those around us! Thank you!💝
