Beast
Kill Clouseau Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are now. in a place the feels so familiar.
On your face I see that fear consumes.
You will never leave this room.
Run along and tell your friends about how my evil knows no ends.
I've been around I've seen it all.
Foundation crumbles then it falls.
On this road to paradise please check your baggage check for lice.
Lick your lips and join the herd, if you're still hungry eat your words.

Only I can bring you back to where you first fell off.
From your knees I wonder... How's the view?
Is it hard to see your doom?
Run along and tell your friends about how my evil knows no ends.
I've been around I've seen it all.
Foundation crumbles then it falls.
On this road to paradise please check your baggage check for lice.
Lick your lips and join the herd, if you're still hungry eat your words.
Run.
Away from me.
Save yourself.
Get out while you can.
There is no hope for those who welcome Death's right hand man.
I pity you.
You start to scream.
Slither and you squirm.
It won't be over til you just accept it and learn.
Right?

There's no need to compensate.
My facade was just the bait.

In Kill Clouseau's song Beast, the tone is set with the opening line "Here we are now, in a place that feels so familiar," and we begin to sense a foreboding atmosphere. The fear in the singer's face is tangible as mentioned in the second line "On your face, I see that fear consumes." The persona in the song then taunts, "Run along and tell your friends about how my evil knows no ends."

Throughout the song, the persona alludes to the fact that he has seen it all and that every foundation crumbles, "I've been around; I've seen it all.Foundation crumbles then it falls." The song talks about a "road to paradise" which reminds the listener of the layers of deceit of real life; "please check your baggage for lice." Additionally, the lyrics talk about how easy it is to conform to societal norms or follow the herd, with "Lick your lips and join the herd, if you're still hungry eat your words."

The song takes a darker turn towards the end with the persona telling the singer; "It won't be over till you just accept it and learn," indicating that it is futile for the singer to resist his/her imminent fate. The song ends with the chilling line, "There's no need to compensate. My facade was just the bait."
