Seabeast Lyrics
Mastodon
Lyrics
If I stand around
And watch them drown in a pool of gray
When we dive in, I can surely say there's feud with force
Am I in your way?
Please knock me down, can I help you in?
When I'm not around let us all be found in certain ways
Dear Mr. Queequeg, you have been informed your life's been saved
You are not a black-hearted vicious mess so it has been claimed
If this is the beast
Pulling us towards the east with mighty waves
Let us look inside
And pull out all your pride, you know it's up to us
Holding pasts in ash black earth
Bound by roots
Roots into sand
Grow towards the giver
There's an open wound
Placed upon my heart, in anger's rage
If we open up a spirit, a spirit that can bleed
Ahab the leading lad we can trust his obsession carries them
Meet us at the temple
Healing all the crippled, don't forget the maimed
Lower soul
Sent with gifts offering
Teeth of hope travel with
Child laid next to mother
Song & Lyrics Facts
Mastodon's Seabeast is a single released on October 7, 2014 from their sixth studio album Once More 'Round the Sun. The song was written by Brent Hinds and Bill Kelliher of Mastodon and produced by Nick Raskulinecz.
It features heavy metal riffs combined with progressive rock elements and lyrics that evoke images of sea creatures and underwater exploration. The band describes it as "a tale about an ancient creature rising from the depths to reclaim its dominance over the seas". Seabeast has become a fan favorite due to its complex instrumentation and powerful chorus. Released in June 2014, Once More 'Round the Sun marked Mastodon's return to a more aggressive sound after their previous two albums had focused more on atmosphere and experimentation.
