Meshuggah - I Am Colossus Lyrics






I'm the great Leviathan, insatiable colossus
Titanic engulfer of lives, I reward you, absorb you
I'm the monstrous mouth that hungers for your awe
Immense construction of lies. I own you, disown you

I am life. I'm death. You empower me

I'm a mammoth king evoked, conjured by your dreams
Summoned by your fears. You need me, you feed me
I'm the imposing giant. Infallible dictator
My rules apply to all. You'll heed me, bleed for me

I am life. I'm death. I decide your fate
You empower me. You'd even kill for me

Guzzling down your dreams - the tears of unheard pleas I drink,
Imbibe with such delight the fear that floods your temporal shell
Raging red rivers and streams - the kingdom of my shadow
Where dread of man in endless night revives my every cell

To those who doubt - your wounds will never heal
To those who question my creation - I'm not real

I am pain. I am grief. I'm the things you fear
I'm the lie whispered into your ear
I'm the great Leviathan. I'm dominance and greed
You imagined me, so I was conceived

I am life. I'm death. You belong to me
Call me what I am. I am colossus

    All your predjudice and bullshit creates Colossus.

  3. D.... N....

    When you realize the lyrics are about the feminist movement

  4. F.... C....

    Whatever animation is utilized here, it puts everything Tool did to shame.

  5. D.... P....

    Is this the fat boy on guitar, or is still Fred ?

  6. B.... ....

    the music video is in 3/4 XD

    Id like too hear fear factory and messhuggah play at the exact same time for the ultimate mind blowing experience.

  8. i.... ....

  11. L.... ....

    I'm the great Leviathan. Insatiable colossus
    Titanic engulfer of lives, I reward you, absorb you
    I'm the monstrous mouth that hungers for your awe
    Immense construction of lies. I own you, disown you

    I am life. I'm death. You empower me

    I'm a mammoth king evoked, conjured by your dreams
    Summoned by your fears. You need me, you feed me
    I'm the imposing giant. Infallible dictator
    My rules apply to all. You'll heed me, bleed for me

    I am life. I'm death. I decide your fate
    You empower me. You'd even kill for me

    Guzzling down your dreams - the tears of unheard pleas I drink
    Imbibe with such delight the fear that floods your temporal shell
    Raging red rivers and streams - the kingdom of my shadow
    Where dread of man in endless night revives my every cell

    To those who doubt - your wounds will never heal
    To those who question my creation - I'm not real

    I am pain. I am grief. I'm the things you fear
    I'm the lie whispered into your ear

    Since when do I have dream vacation plans? You might have the wrong slim shady

  13. A.... B....

    I am life undead, you empower me

  14. W.... T....

    Nothing else is more metal so far. Let’s see it.

  15. T.... R....

    This was the Meshuggah song that took me the longest to like, when I started listening to them. Can't wait for what they put out next.

  16. T.... 6....

    Man those glaze from Colossus at the end,i’m scared mom.

  17. M.... G....

    Revitalisation magistrale du mythe grec des Parques.

  18. M.... E....

    0:03 finally a Meshuggah song that has a soft silent intro
    0:04 nevermind

  19. g.... c....

    I think the triangle at the beginning of the vid represented the illuminati

  20. G.... B....

    These guys make Slipknot sound like the fucking Partridge Family.

  21. S.... W....

    I want to be one of those entities I’ll have do research for that incantation ave

  22. L.... ....

    This is heavier than a teaspoon of neutron star material

  23. C.... ....

    I wonder if there's any overt occult symbols and references in the video that I cant pick up on.

  24. G.... H....

    2:08 the start of possibly the greatest bridge in metal ever

  25. t.... ....

    I thought this was a Tool video

  26. S.... N....

    Meshuggah music is just way too easy all around to play. Just figured I would type that cause nobody has honestly ever said that.

  27. M.... R....

    a video actually as amazing as this song. can you fucking believe it.

  28. �.... �....

    https://youtu.be/tjGdnr3EhIU

  29. T.... m....

    This makes me want to become a nun

  30. d.... d....

    God gave us this for anytime we need a peptalk.

    d.... d....

    I think koloss is god or Satan in the song. Meshugga tends to see god as our creation and to an extent I agree. I think seeking pure truth in the spirit is the only thing saving ppl from the koloss. The koloss is the inner man that builds up a false God or deity. I don't think Jesus Christ had the koloss attitude.

  31. M.... L....

    Fifth Element inspired clip. Saw that movie being pretty young. Was quite disturbed.

  32. s.... ....

    Meshuggah is on a completely different level.
    like the Mars Volta was.
    the multiple time signatures, simultaneously
    the dissonant harmonies

    suspensions

    the quality of their technical ability
    their ability to not be technical
    fucking incredible
    Aliens...

  33. n.... ....

    I came from Attack on Titan

  34. N.... ....

    I like how this is the weakest song in this album and it's still badass as shit. Koloss is one of their finest works.

  35. f.... �....

    this video is fucked up

  36. M.... b....

    IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
    AAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMM
    COOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  37. d.... l....

    thanks !!!

  38. K.... M....

    One of the greatest bands

  39. E.... ....

    Do u people realize Mesuggah means were living inside a leviathan called Kolossus? We are trapped in a real matrix, And the sham's in this video are supposed to be archons altering us. Were all empty shells.

  40. S.... ....

    God damn

  41. N.... S....

    I'm the great Leviathan, insatiable colossus
    Titanic engulfer of lives, I reward you, absorb you

    reminds me of Motherbrain from super metroid

  46. D.... ....

    Cripes. Is 1:58 the best breakdown in the history of metal?

  47. b.... ....

    There should be an action-RPG-horror game based on Meshuggah videos, but without trying too hard to be a Souls-like.

  48. B.... D....

    Hard AF!!

  49. K.... ....

    Is anyone else hearing "Dave Shapelle Colossus" in the beginning?

    He had such a lovely voice when he was in the church choir

  51. O.... D....

    I don't give a fuck. Meshuggah is much better than tool. Hands down

  52. W.... ....

    Tool + Massive Steroids = Messhugah

  53. H.... S....

    Swing 4/4

    Lamest shit I have heard in a while. Facepalm

  84. A.... S....

    i still think this is there best song but can someone tell me what its about?
    ??

  85. s.... ....

    The scene where the things are opening the door with the triangular key comes from the movie The Fifth Element, it looks exactly the same.

    s.... ....

    Actually it isn't, nevermind, it's been so long that I thought it looked the same.

  86. N.... E....

    I feel like this song is about self-doubt

  87. G.... N....

    2:00 to 2:40. Top 5 hardest riffs in metal history.

  88. k.... ....

    Is this song about the state?

  89. y.... ....

    dementor nuns

  90. N.... Z....
