Into The Void
Monster Magnet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everywhere is unreal.
The fame of my birth known.
Oh!
Those dinosaurs in Vietnam!
Those dinosaurs in Vietnam!
Those dinosaurs in Vietnam!
Come on and show me.
Come on and show me.
A man who has to leave his destiny.
A man who has to leave his destiny!
Aah
Come on and show me!
Show me now!
Yeah the techno sluts are dancin' in hell.
The techno sluts are dancin' in hell.
Oh yeah!
Into the twentieth century yeah!
Aw poor baby.
Poor baby.
Yeah you've all bit the dust, ha ha.
Ain't no soul comin' back motherf***er.
Woo
Aah
Into the void
Aw
Woo!
Rocket engines burning fuel so fast,
Up into the night sky they blast.
Through the universe the engines whine,
Could it be the end of man and time?
Back on earth the flame of life burns low,
Everywhere is misery and woe.
Pollution kills the air, the land and sea.
Man prepares to meet his destiny.
Into the void!
Yeah!
Woo!
Rocket engines burning fuel so fast,
Up into the night sky so vast.
Burning metal through the atmosphere,
Earth remains in worry, hate, and fear.
With the hateful battles raging on,
Rockets flying to the glowing sun!
Through the empires of eternal void,
Freedom from the final suicide!
Into the void!
Yeah!
Down to the void!
Woo yeah!
Aw yeah!
You're a f***ing genius!
That's right!
Dinosaurs in Vietnam.
Dinosaurs in Vietnam.
Dinosaurs in Vietnam.
Dinosaurs in Vietnam.
Oh!
That's all that can be saw. Ha ha!
Oh yeah that's right.
Yeah
The song "Into the Void" by Monster Magnet is a psychedelic rock and metal anthem that explores the themes of existence, destiny, war, and destruction. The lyrics are highly metaphorical and open to interpretation, but one possible interpretation is that the song imagines a dystopian future in which mankind has destroyed the planet and itself through war, pollution, and technology. The chorus "Into the Void" can be seen as a call to embrace the unknown and the infinite, whether it be death, space, or spirituality, as a way to escape the chaos and misery of the present.
The opening lines "Everywhere is unreal. The fame of my birth known" can be seen as a reference to the paradoxical nature of celebrity and existence, in which one can achieve fame and recognition but still feel disconnected from reality. The repetition of "Those dinosaurs in Vietnam" can be seen as a surreal image of prehistoric creatures in a modern-day conflict, or as a commentary on the absurdity and horror of war. The lines "Come on and show me a man who has to leave his destiny" can be seen as a challenge to the listener to defy fate and take control of their own lives.
The verse that follows describes the launch of a rocket and the possibility of its destructive power, with lines like "Could it be the end of man and time?" and "Man prepares to meet his destiny". The chorus "Into the Void" takes on a darker tone as it is repeated, suggesting that the void may not be a desirable or peaceful place. The final verse returns to the imagery of war and chaos, with lines like "With the hateful battles raging on, Rockets flying to the glowing sun! Through the empires of eternal void, Freedom from the final suicide!" suggesting a nihilistic and apocalyptic vision.
