Hearing how these different factions battled each other in the early days of this planet....sounds like the baseline for the best RTS ever
Omg I would play that game and be so happy. ^_^
Someone should really get on that!
Tenebris Fractum remember how you could summon Titans in Age of Mythology? Now imagine doing that with Cthulhu and other Old Ones.
I'd do unforgivable things just to play an RTS game like that
If that would be so, I bet Nyarlathotep would be responsible causing a great war between all them in the rts' story line where humans will be used as resources :D
Now I wonder... if Lovecraft was trying to make us feel meaningless in the universe, why do so many great old ones and alien species find themselves flocking to earth? I sometimes wonder if it's a coincidence, or if there's actually a hidden non-nihilistic message behind it all.
For all we know, they also flock other species in other galaxies. Nyarlathotep is known to toy with both us and other intelligent species. Its like when looking at the stars; from earth's perspective, it looks like a star dome, just for us to enjoy. Likewise, it seems as if we are the only one's subject to these beings, but only because our feeble minds can not begin to comprehend the scope of which these beings operate.
Nihilism in general is a shaky philosophy. Its also in human perception to find meaning in everything, so take it as you will. Neither here nor there
Cosmic horror is like stepping on a spider... except we experience this from the point of view of the spider.
While many mythos species do inhabit the earth throughout many stories it is implied or outright stated that life exists elsewhere. The elder things where shown to still be around populating a planet in a triple star system and the Mi Go are implied to have a vast cosmic empire. The real reason so many lovecraftian beings live on the earth in his stories however is simply so he can have his characters encounter them, While Lovecraft did make a shared universe for his stories it was only really to create a personal mytholdgy and I assume for personal amusement not any literay goal.
Its implied and even outrighy stated that there are more of these things in the cosmos. Ironically, Lovecraft was showing us that if life was in the universe then the earth should have at some point been a colony.
Lovecraft writes in "The Mountains of Madness" that humans were used for food and as "amusing buffoons" by the elder things.
Like most cthulu mythos races they where kinda douche bags to sapient beings. Excuse me while I go hang with my non-butt hole yithian nerd friends who don't make slave races and horrible monstrosities.
C''mon! Homo sapiens are overrated. Do you mean to tell me that you don't know people in your own life who richly deserve to be devoured by super-intelligent Paleogean vegetables?
All kidding aside: The Elder Things are my favorite. During the speech Lovecraft puts in Dyer's mouth at the end of "The Mountains of Madness", he describes the Elder Things as "men of another age and order of being" (if I remember the quote exactly). I interpret that to mean they are like humanity in that they are still subject to a merciless universe as humans are despite their superior physical and mental gifts. To me, they're sympathetic. They aren't warm and fuzzy, but they aren't deliberately evil either. That's highly unusual in Lovecraft's universe. Lovecraft suggests through Dyer that they only wiped out Lake's camp because of their confusion.Lovecraft extincts the Elder Things ruthlessly. The Mi-go are still around in the current epoch to terrorize Wilmarth and reduce Akeley to a brain in a can. The Great Race of Yith has gone forward through time to inhabit the bodies of the hapless Beetle Race. The Deep Ones are still lurking around off the coast of Massachusetts plotting the dissolution of the human world, but the last of the Elder Things are dead and gone and in as hideous a way as Lovecraft could devise.
Praise Azathoth
Lovecrat parallels the Elder Things as our "Predecessors". Or top tier race on earth during their time. And chronicles the hardships and nightmares they as a race had to endure.
Starting to get into the Cthulhu mythos and it all seems rather interesting. It's easy to see the influence of the Elder Things upon their human creations. Five toes on each foot, five fingers on each hand, five appendages from the central core (two legs, two arms, and the head) five sets of five with the toes, fingers and appendages..
Joshua Gannon an arrangement that is rather common throughout nature.
Because the elder things made our current world like that
*5 digits on each hand
They supposedly created life on Earth for their needs, but they eventually stopped maintaining it. They let evolution do it's job (unless some new creatures weren't too much dangerous for them), so humans somehow evolved themselves. But good observation, I've never thought of it that way :D
And 5 senses
Fear the Old blood, praise the pale moon
Thank you, I was waiting for a comment like this.
May kosm Grant us eyes
a bottomless curse a bottomless sea accepting all there is and can be
Kos or some say Kosm
A fleeting thing, yet i clung to it... these comments and likes. It's guud to know there are still huunters around! May the good blood guide your way..
Elder-things... Quite possible one of the most badass species on the Cthulhu mythos. How else would you call a species that can fight Cthulhu himself and score a win, phyrric as it was?
If this mythos was real i'd say we humans should go to the ruins of their city in antartica and grab up old technology.If we can understand and maybe even improve upon it we night have a fighting change against the migo cthulhu and the followers of the other old ones.Or maybe we can get off this planet and leave it to the tentacle horrors and chill on mars or something.
I doubt that Cthulhu is "personally" involved with his star spawn or in any conflict that doesn't involve other Great Old Ones.
LoboGuara5bruxaria If there will be another great war, humanity should definetly side with the Elder Things. They practically have owned Earth since the planet's creation and we wouldn't be here without them.
Disappointed Turtle According to the story they also dissect us ,use us for their own amusement, and our creation was either a joke or an accident.No I think if the Elder Things ever rise again and make war on Cthulhu we humans would be best served by digging a hole, and hiding in it as quietly as possible.
blank blank yeah, or that. Although their opinion about us might have changed, looking at what we've accomplished since their demise.
So Scientology is literally just H.P. Lovecraft fan-fiction xD
That's an interesting way to put it
Bob Slartibarti H.P. wrote about the unknowable and our meaninglessness, scientology like most faiths pretends to know all while placing humanity nearly at the zenith of the universe of creation.
You have no idea how right you are, Scientology, at least a good amount of it, was actually based off one of Lovecraft's short stories.
The founder of Scientology, who's names escapes me, was a manipulative scam artist and a total d-bag.
Kyle Harding Which short story? I understood most of Scientology's space opera mythos came from a screenplay of L. Ron Hubbards' (unproduced because everyone thought it was bad)
I don't recall the name of it or if it even had one. But it was something he dropped because he hated it and never published.
Ron Hubble based his space opera off of it. That's what I have read anyway.
I just remember reading some where he ripped Lovecraft off.
Fascinating, and a little disturbing. If Lovecraft's warning is to be believed, then when we, too, finally master synthetic organisms, will we be replaced by one of our creations?
+Alexander Abrams-Flohr Well, according to Lovecraft, we are succeeded by a race of beetles.
+Mr. Pigeon From The Shadow Out of Time, "After man there would be the mighty beetle civilisation, the bodies of whose members the cream of the Great Race would seize when the monstrous doom overtook the elder world."
I honestly think we'll be replaced by AGI, and considering our rate of technological advancement and our interest in AI and automation, we'll probably create that specific program within the next 50 years.
skynet
I love the elder things, specially because they are one of the few creatures on Lovecraft mythology that aren't intrincically evil and victims at the end of "The Mountains of Madness".
This Lovecraft guy would've made a really good video game designer. He was ahead of his time.
Hahahaha Hohohoho
Play eternal darkness on the GameCube. Pretty sure HP would make a game like that
He'd only craft half the game and "leave it up to our imaginations"...
@@TheLurkerAtTheThreshold I was mostly commenting on the fact that I believed he relied too heavily on the "inconcievable," which is not to say tell us everything, but that when one writes a lot of works that involve things unknowable. It feels a bit strange to laud him as the greatest author of all time. Not bad, of course, just not the god of literature that some people (sycophants) laud him as.
the screen would go black during every fight or action scene... You'd faint.
I think bloodborne is a pretty Nice example of lovecraftian horror
I´m loosing more and more sanity points...
MaHari Ah, you finally begin to see reality.
And gaining many points of insight as well
OI , i wanted to write that!
MaHari Careful now Old Man Henderson, we don’t want you blowing up an elder god.
+100 stress
I like to imagine that the elder things originally did not look like they do in the story.Think about it.With their ability to alter genetics what if they added body parts to themselves.Maybe they to start with they could not survive underwater didn't have wings etc but they added them on as they wanted to become the superior race.They could have just started out as a race of cucumbers with tentacles for all we know.
Sorry, that's not Canon. At The Mountains of Madness indicates they lost capabilities (the ability to travel in space for one thing) and were in the process of becoming decadent, eventually retreating from the ice age and into the seas. The only indications in the novella are that they were slowly losing capabilities, not altering their original forms.
Just an aside, penguins swim using their wings, which were originally evolved for flight, and flying fish glide in the air for substantial distances using their fins which evolved to propel fish through the water. Sometimes the purposes of structures can be adopted to uses other than the original one. Also, naming the structures of an alien being as "wings" doesn't mean that those structures were necessarily used for flight. It could be a coincidental similarity, it doesn't mean that they were necessarily or primarily for flight.
@@shawnwales696 I was just spitballin a fun theory lol
@@florenmage bro went all out on a random comment lmao
_Follow in the footsteps of the Elder Things, use the D-Engine to enslave the mythos forces to the will of humanity._
_Go full CthulhuTech and fight the Outer Gods using arcanotech mechs._

Elder Things are shit compared to Outer Gods

+ManggMangg What's your opinion on the proposed Del Torro movie based on this story?
+Lord Funface The Atomic Toaster I think if there's one man that could do the story justice, it'd be Del Toro.
ManggMangg Glad we agree. I really hope it comes to fruition.
Will you do anything on Yig at any point.
Yes.
Whenever I read up on news of Lake Vostok it reminds me of "At The Mountains of Madness". Sure, we haven't found and giant blind penguins or 5 cornered carrot monsters yet, but the idea of a lake the size of Erie, buried under 4km of ice for the last 15 million years is scientifically intriguing to say the least. Possible microorganisms so far but we've only just broke through. Cosmic horror is sure to come.
Polybius Let's hope their aren't shape shifting creatures
Polybius
My favourite thing is that on the same day they were supposed to carefully drill into the lake, breaching it for the first time in eons, their transmitter stoped working and the station went radio-silent for a day or so. It was on the news and all the sci-fi/cosmic horror fans were laughing about and making references to "the thing" and "at the mountains of madness".
Polybius Hopefully not The Thing
Chickens...they created chickens.
ShutupStupid31 would that make chickens lovecraftian?
Chicken give you cancer.
Scott Branham yes
@@scottbranham6396 can confirm
I guess we know which came first now.
I know it sounds weird, but I always found the Elder Things cute. Probably because they are shown to have a somewhat ,,human" side. Even the narrator of At the Mountains of Madness at one point says he feels bad for them, after the Shoggoth killed four of them. Also, they rode dinosaurs and that's always a plus.
Disappointed Turtle 1:25 you think that is FUCKING CUTE ???
The visitor101 yep, if they were 1 feet, and very small, just imagine them walking around bumping into things
Elder Things were pretty violent. The Race of Yith, meanwhile, were friggin adorable by Lovercraft standards.
They can be... kinda cute but for me there pretty cool and amazing, I guess I find monsters and weird animals to be the first thing I get use to, I can get use to almost anything but blob fish, blob fish mess up everything that I can see and blob fish make me so confused.
0:34 is not cute
If I'm not mistaken, the novel said that all life on earth originated from their experiments and that they let it evolve as long as it didn't endanger them directly. Humans just seem to have been lucky to gain consciousness around the time they faded
If I don't remember it all wrong, they didn't create humans, humans got created my mistake then they weren't looking. Like: "Look at that, new lifeforms, huh. Okey who cares?"
Yes...
They had a hand in our engineering. They didn’t create us but certainly refined us by the there standards.
I have one thing to say about this species: TEKEL-LI ! TEKEL-LI!
In a sea of monsters, the Elder Things are perhaps the most sympathetic of the Lovecraftian races. From what I've read they have thought processes at least vaguely analogous to man.
They didn't come from Uranus, they came from the stars, they even had visited other universes according to the Lovecraft mythos. And yes, according to the story, they had particle weapons( disruptors) which resubjugated the shoggoths, and other races which became bothersome to them.
3:23 that's almost identically to how I imagined the city to be while reading the book...
Lovecraft did a good job at describing it.
Currently reading At the mountains of madness. It's so good
I'm really enjoying this series, thanks. I discovered Lovecraft in my early teens and have many of his works as well as those of Derelth and others. good scary fun.
When I grow up I'm going to turn this into an animated series into horror
Do it, that would be amazing.
I find it interesting that while the whole Lovecraftian mythos sugests that humanity is powerless against all these beings, from what I can gather in this video humanity could theoreticaly be as sucessful in combating Great Old Ones as the Elder Things where
Alexander Greyling could but still an impossible hope. The Elder Things were light years beyond us, not just technologically but also physically and mentally as well, able to view mythos creatures without insanity. And even then a race like that could just about hold their own. To me it just reinforces how small Humans were, like telling an asthmatic in a wheelchair that all they have to do is beat Usain Bolt in a race. Theoretically possible but the odds are essentially zero
gargoyles9999
I dont know, the whole point of Lovecraft is to give us perspective about the universe and our place in it... escentialy, that in the grand skeme of things, we are powerless, insignificant, and pointless. However, the mythos sort of makes the mistake to try and personify this idea in flesh and blood "gods". You know what they say, if it bleeds you can kill it.
If there is one thing humanity is, its adaptable, and if we where to examine the lore from a realistic standpoint, the plothole that ended up showing up with the Elder Things means that humans would easily be able to reverseengineer their tech and sciences, adapt it with our own, etc; humans have the stubborn ability to say "if these flying cucumbers could give Cthulhu a run for his money, so can we". it would actualy make for a very interesting story with many lovecraftian elements in it... sort of like Hellboy in a sense. But I'm getting off track.
I think the only way to combat this sort of problem would be to make the godly beings of the mythos cosmic in nature instead of biological (and as powerful as they are, they are still somewhat biological). The Force from Starwars is a great example of that sort of thing. Its a lot harder to fight a cosmic force of nature than it is to fight a cosmic monster. Hell, and even then we could still make interesting stories about humans adapting to said forces.
One of the interesting dynamics of sci-fi and sci-fantasy is that humans (and other sentiants) are both powerless before the face off such powers such as the Great Old Ones of the Cthulhu mythos, and at the same time present a clear potential threat.
...
Maybe I've been rambling too much n.nU
Alexander Greyling. why would we "easily" reverse engineer their tech? it was created by and for minds that simply operate differently to our own. who is to say that given any length of time resources or effort we could make any progress, just because our brains are incapable of knowing things on such a level?
as it is we are entirely dependant on our collective skills and knowledge being dispersed across all our number. with some of the greatest knowledge only held by a relative few simply because it takes a portion of a lifetime to even comprehend the problems to be faced.
It makes all the sense in the world that at some point just like with our individual capacity to know and comprehend things that our ability as a collective, even augmented with our own technology must reach an eventual hard limit.
would be cool to see a video explaining the Hellboy connections to HP Mythos
I saw your recent video discussing the eventual end of mythos related material and a move on to things like exploring Tolkien, and it makes sense. But until such a time when you do run out of mythos related material, I'd like to see much more. There's a lot of ground to cover with all the ideas entities and places tapped into by a great number of artists even still making contributions to that mythos, and I guess I don't want to see it end too soon.
I remember these things from a Rimworld mod. They're a pain in the arse to fight but are amazing if you can recruit them.
woow you put new stuff onto youtube. i love your vids. you rock Mangg !!
I've always prescribed to the theory that the elder things created humans as a detached contingency plan. Think about it; they had round about the same intelligence that our species does right now, we have their same Love of warfare, and always aspire for greater knowledge of things we shouldn't. I like the idea that they made us as a way to continue living when they realized they were losing the war, and put everything that they were into it
Great channel man, great series, keep it up, I've watched all of your videos and they are very interesting !
When I read mountains of madness I got the impression that the elder things were still living in underwater cities outside Antarctica by the events of the book and that the sub glacial lake wasn't their last remaining settlement.
Well, I guess that would explain the platypus lol
Haha!
"...including a strikingly vivid mirage... distant bergs became the battlements of unimaginable cosmic castles." - H.P. Lovecraft
I remember in the Abyss of Time that elder things can «send» their spirits in mass into existing civilazation and survived like that.
That's the Great race of Yith. Another race in Lovecrafts Mythos
love these. I always find it hard to get a sense of the creatures in lovecraft
i recall in the mountains of madness novel, the explorers theorise that the elder things devolved
This series is great
all taken from " the mountains of madness". i finished reading this story, a couple of days ago. it would make a marvelous movie, would make a good video game, too.
One of my favorite alien races of all time!
I really like this series so far, keep up the good work!
I was wandering if Lovecraft's characterization of their governance being "socialistic" would be mentioned. In the Western World, and particularly the U.S, the general suppression of the socialist idea makes it's appearance in describing the Elder Thing's government worth noticing, because they are described as an admirable civilization. In the 1930's, Americans were more open minded about political ideas. The subsequent McCarthy Red Scare Purges did indeed purge the American mind in many ways.
They remind me of the Sload from The Elder Scrolls.
This stuff is great! Keep it up!
If you're thinking about keeping up the series, could you maybe do the Miskatonic University next? I'm a bit confused on them
+Alpha Craft It's possible I might do a video discussing Arkham.
What of the creature from The Thing was a Shoggoth or other creation of the elder things taken back under the antarctic ice with them? Being able to grow organs and limbs would certainly explain a bit of what the monster could do. Perhaps they only pulled part of it out of the ice or it was otherwise damaged and that's why it needed a host of sorts?
My favorite hp lovecraft creature great vid as always
I got the impression that the Elder things died out millions of years before man came along. Maybe they did some genetic modifications on early apes, but not any time near to the evolution of Hominids.
elder things are those the ones from that artic book with the really thick but hollow hides? Mountians of madness i think was the name.
Nice work!
Starting to get a Legend of Zelda boss fight feel here.
Does anyone else recognize this voice? I believe that it is Marc Blucas famously Riley Finn from Buffy The Vampire Slayer. If not, both Mr. Pilgrim and Marc have an amazingly vocal affinity!
YEAH AN NEW ONE :) I love your content
I believe that creature near the elder thing city that the elder things feared is either nyarlethotep or azathoth.
David Vargas The narrator's companion mentions Yog-Sothoth at the end in his rambling. Couldn't he have anything to do with it?
Please do an Explorer series video on "the shadow out of time" itself¿? thank you!✌
The elder things' description and the way they're designed looks like a high school student tried to make a "super cool monster thing".
"I wonder what else they made" things that go bump in the night
If the elders things got driven back by an ice age that would disprove your theory of them being from Uranus or from Neptune since they are a lot colder than the ice age.
Personally? I always thought the elder things may have made some of the weirder Gods, ones that just seemed off and had no history, I have been ridiculed by many Lovecraft fans for this but I do belive that it is not only plausible but likely they would to try and fight Cthulhu and his deep ones.
Gosh I love these fun guys.
Great video series man you should do some more now that the new game is coming out! Btw the 'S' is silent in bas relief.
Makes me feel like The Elder things didn't go exstinct. But are hiding and observing humanity there creations. You gotta realize they are plant things and plants are everywhere. So they could pretty much hide in plain site, or blend in with the surroundings.
GI Joe: The Movie had some HP Lovecraft vibes to it... I never even knew until now
interesting
ex: the character, Golobulous. the main villain, taken after Yig.
the design of the elder thing reminds me of Ebrietas from Bloodborne
it's funny how the south pole is mentioned as the elder things home and that Antarctic is the only uninhabited continent on earth
What's the relationship between the elder things and the Yith? They were both on earth in the past.
If the elder things maybe crated humans then I guess they must have come after the Yith declined because I think the description of their age puts them pretty far back before maybe even mammals were much of a thing.

Aged like cheese
I read the story recently, didn’t it state that the elder things are responsible for all native earth life? that they started the cycle of evolution by introducing the first organisms? and whatever happened that was just happenstance, including humans?
The thing they fear in the Antarctic is Ghidorah.
I wish!
One thing I find interesting in a few sources is that the Elder Things FEARED something that went extinct before they arrived to Earth.
Tim Curran wrote 2 books regarding them called The Hive and The Hive 2 in which he depicated them as an evil race who designed humans as a fuel and food source as well as a slave race. They're pretty good.
So, what you're saying is that we need to bring an excavation team and a Bagger-288 or two to the Antartic
More please more mythos
The five fingers of the god hand in Berserk.
That last quote at the end of the video reminds me of the now deleted comment from Buzz Aldrin when he returned from Antarctica.
It was this that the Elder Things created the creature was known as Godzilla. They used body parts of prehistoric creatures such as the dinosaurs as well as other monstrous entities such as the Leviathan and the dragons.
Yeah probably elder things just see godzilla as a weapon
Perhaps maybe the elder things created different species in an attempt to have new hosts for their minds to inhabit, considering they had grown weaker and weaker from their wars.
Funny only through oral tradition and ceremony our elders have stories about the ‘old ones’ as well and stories of our star brothers and sisters. I didn’t grow up hearing ceremonial stories but I’m still so fascinated by them. I live in Canada Ontario and a few places are that you can gain access to under ground tunnels.
When I was a teenager I used have a lot dreams where I’m flying I don’t no more anyway I’m hovering high about a lake in my town the water so blue abs clear at the very very deep bottom are two huge opening but are the open has like a cage door and I know what’s in those tunnel openings are ancient and evil. I didn’t see them just a knowing. Wired vivid dream so vivid it felt real.
The Elder Things design is so unique and strange. Something truly alien.
I hate most modern depictions of the race because most artists always Gigerfy and make them more generic.
I first learned about these things through pathfinder and i just began to laugh at them
See! If the Elder Things could hold their own against and maybe even beat Cthulhu then why couldn't us humans do so too? (Maybe not now but perhaps somewhere in the future after our technology and knowledge has grown more advance?)
Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!
I have always been amused by the thought that "tekeli-li" is just Elder Thing for "hi! how are you?", and that the shoggoth is chasing the humans in the story not because it's a predator, but because it's a bit lonely and curious about new visitors. Besides, it has tea and biscuits in it's house that it wants to share....
Which brings me to another point about shoggoths. This is pure speculation, but they got along with the Elder Things (and the dinosaurs and mammals that lived with them) for millions of years, albeit as a slave race. They rebelled, twice. Since then, they have hung out in the city in Antarctica, minding their own business, even leaving the giant penguins more or less alone (as demonstrated by the penguin's docile behavior, as if they don't know of any predators). Who is to say that they are inherently vicious? It's entirely possible that they don't have an opinion one way or the other about humanity.
@@stevenhanly4412 the penguins weren't docile when the shoggoth showed up
The Elder Things also left the basis of Evangelion buried in Antartica, so there is that.
about their technology; the the original rpg Call of Cthulhu, elder technology is pretty much always so advanced that it is completely indistingquishable from magic. sometimes very look at the technology brings up insanity because the logic it uses breaks the sense of reality.
I have an Elder Thing that i loan my basement to. He's pretty chill and grows the best herb!
"The Thing That Came From Uranus"
Great title for a 1950s horror Scifi movie
Very good video, thank you
4:12 Indeed, that thing is known by the Foundation as SCP-2764.
So the Elder Things are a kind of mythological Annunaki analogue, if you believe the legends about those guys, because they created servitor races and had a cosmic enemy. Cool :D
I may be wrong but I don't recall reading at any point in the Mountains of Madness of the Elder Things creating humans or even interacting with them in the past.
If I recall correctly they created life on earth from which the humas evolved. Also their reign didn't lasted long enought to see a human.
That's why he said that it hadn't been confirmed yet.
Jonathan Mariano de Oliveira there are carvings of the Elder Things using prehistoric humans as either food or for amusement.
While it is not confirmed that the Elder Things created humans, it is heavily implied that they did as evidenced by the passage "Bothersome forms, of course, were mechanically exterminated. It interested us to see in some of the very last and most decadent sculptures a shambling primitive mammal, used sometimes for food and sometimes as an amusing buffoon by the land dwellers, whose vaguely simian and human foreshadowings were unmistakable. "
The vegetable kingdom is a very interesting kingdom.
Now here's a question
Beyond the Antarctic city lies a mountain range and beyond that some nameless horror. Something that the Elder things, beings that could fight against Cthulhu were terrified of. Now when Cthulhu wakes would he be able to deal with whatever it was or just have to steer clear like everything else?
gargoyles9999 the elder things never fought chithulu, they fought his followers.
gargoyles9999 Maybe it's something to do with a white blob thing from the call of cthulhu, it is worshipped by bat-demons which bring Cthulhu followers bodies to sacrifice, so it must have something to do with cthulhu, also for the white blob thing supposedly "to see it is to die", and it's supposed to be on an island in the middle of a lake.
Wakes up, squashes elder things, goes back to sleep in R'lyeh
Time will tell day ever come back
Marit Lage from the Dark Depths is certainly the Elder Thing.
They worshiped the Outer Gods like Yog-Sothoth and Azathoth to get rid of Cthulhu.
I'm surprised he didnt mention their artistic capabilities.
The Migos are set on destruction and madness.

Lyrics -
She Smiled, then her eyes glazed over and the color ran out and she turned so pale
Nothings gonna stop us now, the Elder things are gonna prevail
Why ya gotta keep aggravating, all the needless suffering
Better button that lip before your neck gets slit and we use you for an offering
We're gonna destruct the construct and tear it all down
We will show you all the color of sound
Headlong into the 21st century I got a bad feeling that somethings coming
Somethings gonna wreck this world I can hear the skies up above me humming
I just can't take the waiting, the suspense is killing me
How am I gonna make a run for cover when there's nothing left for covering
We will destruct the construct and tear it all down
We will show you all the color of sound
