The Beast
Teho Teardo blixa bargeld Lyrics

This is the beast
Introducing the concept of 'the beast' in the song.

If I close my eyes, the beast will close its eyes
The singer believes that they have some level of control over the 'beast' within them.

If I stop swimming, the beast will dive
The 'beast' within the singer is always present, even when they try to suppress it.

We sank a lot of ships together
The 'beast' within the artist has caused destruction and chaos in their life.

Now the ocean is empty
The consequences of the 'beast's actions have left the artist feeling empty and alone.

But I'll get through
Despite the challenges the singer faces, they are determined to overcome them.

I'll make it for you
The singer is motivated by the desire to succeed for the benefit of someone else.

Against the numbers
The odds may be against the artist, but they are determined to succeed anyway.

Against all odds
Reiterating the artist's determination to succeed in the face of adversity.

Whatever I'm about to say
The artist is about to say something important, but they are hesitant to do so.

The beast is in my throat
The 'beast' within the singer is causing them to feel anxious and nervous.

Even so the beast doesn't mimic me
The 'beast' within the artist is separate from their true self.

In it's movements, gestures, speech
Despite being separate from the singer, the 'beast' shares some similarities with them.

There is something similar to me
The singer acknowledges that they bear some responsibility for the actions of the 'beast' within them.

If I stop dreaming
The 'beast' within the singer is tied to their aspirations and hopes.

It fully wakes the beast
Suppressing one's dreams and aspirations can cause the 'beast' within to become more prominent.

If I stop pushing
The 'beast' within the artist is tied to their drive and ambition.

The beast will close the door
Suppressing one's ambition and drive can cause the 'beast' within to shut down.

And if I would start a fire
The singer is tempted to give into their destructive impulses.

It would bring me giant trees
The artist knows that giving into their destructive impulses would cause widespread harm.

But I'll get through
Reiterating the artist's determination to overcome their struggles.

Against God
The artist is willing to defy even a higher power in order to succeed.

And the statistics
The singer is aware of the odds against them, but remains undeterred.

I don't know if the beast is there
Despite the artist's efforts to understand it, the 'beast' remains mysterious and elusive.

To strangle or to embrace
The singer is unsure whether the 'beast' within them is a threat or a source of strength and power.
