Metalium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A vast expanse before me
The view reveals a chrome filled sea
We stand tall we shan't fall
Aesthetic uniformity
Teeming with boundless energy
The time draws near
The final quest of the metalians
This is the place I want to be
Metalians quest at hand
Crusader of our time
Fighting for eternity
Now readied for battle
A juggernaut of pale blue steel
Can't guard against the disbelieve
World splitting swords raised high
A dance of pulsing laser light
We fear the one who don't believe
One unshared soul
May wound us all
The final quest of the metalians
This is the place I want to be
Metalians quest at hand
Crusader of our time
Fighting for eternity
The final quest of the metalians
This is the place I want to be
Metalians quest at hand
Crusader of our time
Fighting for eternity
The final quest of the metalians
This is the place I want to be
Metalians quest at hand
Crusader of our time
Fighting for eternity
The lyrics of Metalium's "Metalians" describe a futuristic society of metal beings, readying themselves for a final battle against those who do not believe in them. The song opens with a sense of accomplishment as the journey is completed and the metalians stand before a "chrome filled sea". The idea of aesthetic uniformity gives a sense of cohesion and strength, establishing that the metalians are a united front. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that this strength will be put to the test in the form of a final quest. The metalians are fighting for eternity, suggesting that their goal is more than just victory in a battle, but the preservation of their way of life.
The future world described in this song is one of intense energy, with "pulsing laser lights" and "world splitting swords". These images invoke a sense of grandeur and majesty, but also of danger and uncertainty. The metalians are facing an unknown opponent, "the one who don't believe". The final lines of the song warn of the danger of division, suggesting that even one unshared soul could put the metalians at risk. Overall, "Metalians" is a song about unity, strength, and the fight for existence in a world that may not accept the metalians for who they are.

The journey completed
We have reached the end of a long journey
A vast expanse before me

We stand tall we shan't fall
We are strong and will not be defeated
Aesthetic uniformity
Everything looks the same, but it is beautiful
Teeming with boundless energy
The environment is full of unlimited power
The time draws near
It is almost time for something to happen
There is no fear
We are not afraid

This is the ultimate goal of our people

If we don't work together, we will fail
May wound us all
If one of us fails, we will all suffer the consequences
