13. BEAST is a new project by composer Koen Holtkamp, known for his sweeping, maximalist work with Mountains, as well as his labyrinthian solo recordings. While taking some time away from music to focus on working with light and color his approach shifted, opening himself up to new working methods which led to the creation of a virtual ensemble of sorts. The process of refocusing on music found Holtkamp gravitating towards pieces centered on simple rhythmic patterns which, when built upon one another, create elaborately intertwining castles of sound. On Ens, Holtkamp reins in his sprawling sound with new resolve, crafting tightly constructed pieces of engaging and ecstatic beauty.
14. "BEAST” is a voice of and for the wilderness that combines poetry, theatrical masks, ancient rhythms, traditional and modern dance forms, with a heavy side of the blues. Beauty and mystery get woven into music and song that call your mind, body and soul back to the re-enchantment of the wild. Ecstatic prophecy mixed with theological insurrection dredged up from the swamp of souls and cooked over a slow burning midnight fire in the outback campsites of many resistance movements across time. BEAST listens to the elements, eats their messages and regurgitates it back to those listening through a sonic portal of lament, ancestral awakening, and defiance. https://beast11.bandcamp.com/releases

Beast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
괴로워 뒤척이다 아침을 맞이할 바엔
유난히 답답하게 느껴지는 집을 벗어나고 싶어
차 키를 챙겨 나섰지
시동과 함께 켜지는 내비게이션
즐겨 찾는 목적지는 너의 집 맨 위에 있어
못 볼 걸 본 듯이 모든 기록을 지워
자존심도 없는 심장은 더 빠르게 뛰고 있어
익숙하지만 너의 집이 보이는 길을
애써 피하며 굳이 난 핸들을 돌렸지
낯선 도로 위에 방황 또 잃어버린 방향
내 모습인 것 같아 볼륨을 키웠지
신 나는 노랠 들으면 내가 더
처량해 보일까 봐 슬픈 노랠 틀어
필름처럼 흘러가는 가로등 불빛
내가 지나치는 건 아마 미련이겠지
더 세게 페달을 밟아 우리 추억이 다 뭉개지게
창문을 열고서 bye bye 남은 마음이 다 흩날리게
Oh oh 좋았던 것도 oh oh 나빴던 것도
이제 뒤로하고서 drive, drive, drive
한참을 돌고 돌아서 모든 게 낯설어 질 때쯤
나를 멈추는 신호등이 왠지 너인 것 같아서
네가 하라는 대로 (ah) 네가 가라는 대로
뒤돌아 보면 참 내 뜻대로 했던 게 없어 난
안전벨트처럼 꽉 잡았던 네 손 (이젠 없지만)
세상 무엇보다 날 편안하게 만들었어
그때 널 떠나 보낸 이후로 (그날 이후로)
그 어떤 것도 날 잡아주지 못해
더 세게 페달을 밟아 우리 추억이 다 뭉개지게
창문을 열고서 bye bye 남은 마음이 다 흩날리게
Oh oh 좋았던 것도 oh oh 나빴던 것도
이제 뒤로하고서 drive, drive, drive
하늘이 파래져 이제 해가 뜨려나 봐
내 마음 같아 저 하늘 내 마음 같아
이젠 괜찮을 거야 네 생각에 잠 못 드는 밤
더는 없을 거야 good bye
더 세게 페달을 밟아 우리 추억이 다 뭉개지게
창문을 열고서 bye bye 남은 마음이 다 흩날리게
Oh oh 좋았던 것도 oh oh 나빴던 것도
이제 뒤로하고서 drive, drive, drive
얼마나 더 가면 나는 너를 (잊을 수 있을까)
이 길에 끝에서 나는 너를 (보낼 수 있을까)
한참을 달리고 또 달리면 (나는 괜찮을까)
더 세게 페달을 밟아 drive, drive
The lyrics in Beast's song "Drive" depict a sense of restlessness and longing for escape from painful memories. The singer is unable to sleep and cannot shake off the memories, feeling suffocated and wanting to leave their suffocating house to confront the new day. They grab their car keys and set off, with the navigation system leading them to their destination: your house. They erase all traces of the past as their prideless heart beats faster.
As they drive along the familiar route to your house, they deliberately avoid it by turning the steering wheel. Lost in unfamiliar roads, they blast music to drown out their sense of inadequacy and loneliness. The passing streetlights may symbolize regrets left behind as they speed up and try to crush their memories of you. Opening the window, they bid farewell to their lingering feelings.
The persona feels disoriented as everything begins to feel unfamiliar. As a traffic light stops them, they can't help but feel like you are somehow present, influencing their decisions. The absence of your hand that used to comfort them and make them feel at ease weighs heavily on them. Since parting ways with you, nothing has been able to hold them together.
The lyrics express a desire to drive away from the past, no longer clinging to the good or bad memories shared with you. The sky turning blue signals a new beginning and a sense of release. The singer recognizes that they will eventually be okay and that sleepless nights consumed by thoughts of you will fade away. The song concludes with a plea to drive further away down the road, questioning if they can truly forget or let go of you.
