Song Meaning of “Mouth of the Beast (feat. Ceschi)” by Kristoff Krane
Mouth of the Beast is an exploration of the idea of our inner most thoughts and feelings being a powerful force that can ultimately shape our reality. The title alone suggests the idea of something larger and more powerful than we are, and serves to represent the nature of our inner thoughts and subconscious.
The verses vividly describe the gravity and consequences of our actions, both positive and negative, and how our words and choices can cause destruction. Ceschi’s verse further alludes to this, suggesting that letting the beast take control of our decision-making can lead to sorrow and regret. The beat that builds up underneath is an intense force that reflects the idea of a beast devouring our self-control.
The chorus effectively depicts the power of this inner beast, singing “it’s the mouth of the beast/ swallowing up the peace/ takin’ away the calm inside/ feelin’ like a raging sea”. This illustrates an inner unrest, and serves as a reminder that we have the power to control these dark forces and keep them at bay.
The song ultimately serves to remind us that we must take control of our own emotions and our own minds, or else we risk losing sight of our own potential and capabilities. Kristoff Krane and Ceschi have crafted a beautiful and powerful song about the duality of our inner selves, and the importance of self-control, compassion and positivity.
