Beast Within
MAN3O Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

He's been waiting, abandoned and patient, so long (long)
A savage masked ghost story from the past he roams (roams)

He said follow me
Follow follow follow

Over 30 years ago, when he took them down below, and tonight he walks again so step inside enjoy the show

Follow me
Then you'll see
Follow follow follow follow, but the truth is hard to swallow
Follow me
Then you'll see
Follow follow follow follow
Follow me, see a nightmare in action

Deeds so rotten came back to haunt him they know
Forever changed, he wears his spring locked grave alone (alone)

He said follow me
Follow follow follow

All the horrors have been sealed, boarded up they were concealed
But its time for the real monster's face to finally be revealed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MAN3O's song "Beast Within" depict a character that has been waiting patiently and abandoned for quite some time. The character's backstory is introduced as a savage, masked ghost who roamed the past. The character then invites the listener to follow him, promising to show them a nightmare in action. The song invokes the feeling of horror as the character is revealed to have committed deeds so rotten that they haunt him to this very day. The character's fate is depicted as being forever changed as they wear their spring-locked grave alone. The character then invites the listener to follow him once again, promising to reveal the face of the real monster.

The lyrics can be interpreted as referencing the idea of harboring secrets or guilt that drive a person to the brink of insanity. The character represents a person who has committed horrendous deeds and is now forced to live with the consequences of their actions. The invitation to "follow me" may be interpreted as a call to confront one's own demons and face the consequences of their actions, no matter how difficult it may be.
