From the muck 

A figure of speech to describe someone who talks in a sardonic and distorted voice to describe disgusting things, not in a humorous way, but as a complaint that may come as disturbing and annoying to some as it might sound weird for the way the sayings are enunciated from the person.
This nagging woman is so cynical and impulsive that her complaints have no sign of understanding or grace for the feelings of anyone, and she talks with a derisive and annoying tone, like she's from the muck!

Feeling the heat go up my body

A figure of speech to signify how someone feels when they're nervous, anxious, worried, afraid, ashamed, or even shy.
This is typically an unpleasant feeling, because you will see something that hurts you, worries you, or scares you.
I am feeling the heat go up my body whenever I see a picture of that girl, because I miss her terribly, but I know at the same time that she doesn't want me, so I will never get the chance to be with her.

Unsteady clock 

A figure of speech to describe sleep deprivation in the sense that a person cannot tell what time of day it is as soon as they wake up.

For an example, someone may wake up at 6:00 in the evening after sleeping all day, then they might believe it's 6:00 in the morning instead, because it's dark outside, and they must have slept for so long that their mind had went blank and forgot about the time of day.
Your sleeping habits are like an unsteady clock! Quit staying up so late, and you won't sleep all day on the next day!

An endless train with hard resistance

An idiom to prove a point that something to do is hopeless without any benefits, no matter how hard that you try.
The point is that the act of pushing forward, in this case, can be compared to a train that pushes itself forward by its propulsion, and if the effort of pushing forward is done too strong and not showing any signs of finishing its course, then a problem will be helpless and hopeless.
Nobody can help me out, so how many years do I have to keep hopelessly pushing forward like an endless train with hard resistance to get help when nobody cares?

The wall is really talking 

A simile or a figure of speech that represents how a very quiet and careless person will give in and understand how to recognize the feelings of others.
This figure of speech also derives from another simile of the phrase, "It's like talking to a wall", which means that someone may act so careless and helpless that they won't saying anything to help others.
Finally! Someone understands me! For once, the wall is really talking.

sissy pig 

A figure of speech that describes how a person or an object is moving, typically in a digging or burrowing motion against something. An example can be a buoy dropping into water and shaking as it starts to float, or when a wood beam holding a roof shakes in mud as it becomes loose and lets the roof collapse. The action of doing something as a "sissy pig" is as if someone shook and rubbed their face back and forth in something, just like a pig that digs its nose into its food.
The man was waxing the floor really fast like a sissy pig, because he was scraping and scratching the floor too hard!

Strottledire

A oval bowl-shaped carriage that is a cross between a baby's stroller and a cradle, which is used just as a stroller with handles to hold the carriage and push the wheels forward. The name, "Strottledire", is also a way to describe the bell sounds of the lullaby that plays when the stroller is moving, similar to a children's rocking chair toy that plays a lullaby with bells from the mechanics of the clockwork in a small box, much like the insides of a music box, or a jack-in-the-box toy.
The baby's mother is pushing him in the strottledire carriage while singing along to the lullaby that plays in it to calm the baby.
