Behemoth Lyrics

Strong arm man
You do what you want to
You poke my eye
You do what you want to

You behemoth
You go where you want to
You've been stalking me around
You go where you want to

Till you come undone, so tragically
Killing your time, so tragically

Tonight a cold wind blows
Inside my conscience
You are my guiding light
You are my sunshine

When you dream
You are none the wiser
When you shut your eyes
You are none the wiser

Till you come undone, so carelessly
Killing your time, so carelessly, till it's all gone

Tonight a cold wind blows
Inside my conscience
You are my guiding light
You are my sunshine

Don't look down
Where you go I go
Slow it down
Where you go I go too

Tonight a cold wind blows
Inside my conscience
You are my guiding light
You are my sunshine

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Tommy stated in an interview that the lyrics are about:

"Driving around L.A., there are lot of giant, unnecessarily over-sized, behemoth trucks. To me, to drive one is an act of aggression. “Behemoth” was inspired by that. I wonder if the drivers of those vehicles are afraid of getting killed, so they drive tanks–like they’re in a war zone, and they may not be concerned with how it affects others or whether they end up killing someone. Living with that lack of civility on a daily basis takes its toll."

"It’s still a pop song at heart and shares the same melodic elements that are present on the rest of the album, but there’s something about the tone of the song that sets it apart. Though the subject matter is a little daunting, there’s a feeling of overcoming, and it’s a positive song ultimately. That’s a common thread throughout the entire album."
