03 Where Strides The Behemoth
Mastodon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Condition tomorrow
With visions inlaid
The priest stands to our right
A princess is mine

The regress of some minds
Further chase the prize
Pretentious you follow
Religion is mine

Anger precedes my footsteps
Haunting past comes into head
Horizon seems so far away
This life close to end of days
Kill and I will be damned
Forgive and I will be free





Unified eyesight
Grow

Overall Meaning

ing closer to me
Forged in the heavens
The behemoth it breeds


In Mastodon's song "03 Where Strides The Behemoth," the lyrics depict a world in a state of chaos and uncertainty. The priest, a symbol of religion, stands to the right of the singer, highlighting the conflict between belief systems, and the princess is described as being "mine," speaking to a sense of possession and control over something or someone. The "condition tomorrow" and "visions inlaid" suggest a foreboding sense of the future, adding to the overall feeling of unease in the song.
