From the recording private enemy
MONOLITH is a song which genuinely lives up to its name. Rock-hard and unyielding it pounds the listener's eardrums, striving to galvanize the rusty machinery within.
The cinematic monolith is often understood as a symbol for enlightment while a geological monolith may be no more than an invincible blockade.
Conquer or languish? Only the one who encounters the MONOLITH decides what it will be.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Unbothered
To ditch your borders
Unwilling
To ever draw back
Dull-headed
Squinting moron
(Obstruction screeching
On rusty tracks)
Big languish
On small obsession
For the sake
Of self-delusion
Chorus:
Adamant be your monolith
Adamant be that monolith
For the one who modeled it
Monolith
Verse 2:
Firm to touch
And yet misjudged
Tall and shiny
To gaze down
On your feeble mind
Obstinate
Abhorrent slayer
(Let me break
Your sad stiff neck)
Cast-iron tyranny
To reign your realm
Of underwhelm
Chorus 2:
Adamant be your monolith
Adamant be that monolith
For the one who modeled it
Monolith
Interlude:
Static!
Pathetic!
Rock kinetic!
Chorus 3:
Adamant be your monolith
Adamant be that monolith
For the one who modeled it
