Discover the story of the song > Colossus – Idles

The protagonist had a crazy weekend that felt like 20 years long, where he partied hard and danced until dawn with painful bruises. He feels like he's wasting away and living in the shadow of his father, but he still keeps pushing himself to go on. In the second part, he doesn't want to be anyone's man and compares himself to tough fighters like Stone Cold Steve Austin and Evel Knievel, but also mentions behaving like a savior and a notorious criminal. The chorus repeats the phrase "goes and it goes" multiple times.
