Pink Pony Club - Chappell Roan (possibly adult themes): Muse comes from a small, conservative town but dreams of leaving. After finishing high school, they fulfill this dream by moving to a bigger, more diverse city. Finding a good job isn't easy, so muse ends up becoming a dancer at a nightclub. Despite knowing their parents won't be proud and that this will bring shame to the family, muse enjoys what they do and is happy.
Smalltown Boy - Bronski Beat (bullying): Muse spent their childhood and adolescence in a small town, being bullied by peers and the subject of jokes and gossip around town. Their differences made them unwanted, but still, they always carried on without letting anyone know how much it hurt. One day, suddenly, they packed their things and left without looking back.
Junge - Die Ärzte: Muse was a promising child: always sweet, intelligent, and loved animals. However, as they grew up, their interests changed, and they became a different person. The complete opposite of what their parents expected, muse joined a punk band, dyed their hair in colors, got several piercings, and now spends most of their time rehearsing and hanging out with friends. The parents are so worried, almost they disowning muse, trying to force them to get a job or go to college.
Dancing in the Dark - Bruce Springsteen: Muse has reached a point in life where nothing makes sense anymore. The exhausting work routine and the lack of change brings frustration, and they want to make a drastic change, but they don't know how. They're looking for a way to find a new path, exploring new options, and meeting new people. All muse wants is to get out of the place they're stuck in and find motivation.
Jekyll and Hyde - Five Finger Death Punch: Muse is known for their politeness, kindness, and charm. They win over everyone they meet and are always spoken of highly in all circles. However, behind this façade is a person on the verge of exploding. They have a huge anger inside that they don't show to anyone, but that feeling is about to break free.
Problem Child - AC/DC: Everyone knows how hard it is to deal with Muse. They're always involved in some kind of trouble, and they aren't ashamed of it. On the contrary, they take pride in being this way. They commit small crimes for fun, pick fights just to prove they can win them, and are always looking for ways to cause trouble for someone they don't like.
Cult of Personality - Living Colour: Muse is extremely manipulative, with this side hidden behind a smile, charm, and an angelic face. Obsessed with themselves, they can spend hours in front of a mirror talking to themselves about their achievements. Of course, the angelic mask falls when muse discards someone, and they have no problem rubbing in how successful they are while the other person is not.
Rock Me Amadeus - Falco: Muse is considered a music prodigy, adored in the industry. They have many fans and admirers, and their work is flawless. But beyond their fame and talent, muse has an extremely eccentric personality, throwing huge parties every other night. What no one knows is that muse is in debt and can't pay it off.
Major Tom (...völlig losgelöst) - Peter Schilling: Muse is a scientist, and their whole life is dedicated to a specific project. Everything else comes second, even family. When their team is about to make a new discovery, something goes wrong. In fact, it was muse who sabotaged the project, knowing the outcome and intending to be the only one with this knowledge. Their motives aren't noble—they simply believe no one else would understand, except them.
Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd: Muse can't stay in one place for too long and spends their life on the road. This doesn't mean they don't love the people who come into their life, but they know that, in the end, they'll always have to leave. They collect memories and miles of road, as well as loves they've left behind.
