About This Track

'Andromeda' by Mastodon is a 2017 metal track from the album 'Emperor of Sand'. The lyrics lean on a sense of endlessness and a struggle to stay ahead of something that feels crawling and haunting. There is also a darker, more predatory edge, with images of essence being taken and then used to strengthen flesh and blood. The repeated watchfulness over the passage of time is sharpened by the concrete visual of sand flowing, alongside flashes of light and voices reaching from future directions. One line sums up the mood: “It never ends”.

"Andromeda" is a track by Mastodon, from the album Emperor of Sand, released 30th March 2017. The track is 4:05 long. It's filed under Metal. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Mastodon.

Lyrics

Andromeda

It never ends
The game isn't done
I feel the crawling and haunting upon us until you listen

It never ends
Enough is enough
Taking your essence and use it to strengthen their own flesh and blood

Tide
Watching as the sand flows through glass
Light
Calls to me from future and from past

This kills me to know
We cannot learn

It never ends
The ink isn't dry
The great consolation has written a second lease on your life
The great consolation has granted a second lease on your life

Light
Watching as the sand flows through glass
Tide
Calls to me from future and from past

This kills me to know
We cannot learn

Tide
Watching as the sand flows through glass
Light
Calls to me from future and from past

It never ends
It never ends
It never ends

Chronic illusions confusing conclusions
Foster the culture, predict the deception
Chronic delusions with caustic solutions
