Monolith
[Stone Sour] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm in the dark about a lot of things
Seems so real, to me!
I've consecrated!
I wish that I could hate it
I saw my bloody hands come clean, before my eyes!
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within
Visions plague my dreams, oh god, what beast did this?
I couldn't have: oh Jesus, I just don't know
What's inside, of me?
I've desecrated!
My god, I love to hate it!
My hands are bloody again, there's no reason why!
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, can you stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within
Within!

This is one of the best origin movies I have ever seen, there should be a part two and she should be some type of knight rider type character
Sajjad The king

This has a modern interest storyline. With all the fully automated tech on the rise, smart devices and electronic vehicles controlled by artificial intelligence, this is plot is absolutely interesting. I saw the movie and it makes sense. It wasn't bad. Probably underrated.

This isn't a bad movie, but it is a Lifetime movie.
If you know what genre Lifetime movies are, you know what to expect.

Not into horror movies, but if I were, I'd guess this would be very interesting. As a parent of a young one, this gives me chills to think about. No idea why the lady has an armored car, but anywho...

Simple. In the violent world we live in, it is necessary!
