Colosseum Fatigue

from Magna Doors (Deluxe) by The Shaker Heights

/

about

Another song we wish we had finished and included on the album. One of my all time favourites, a song that almost remains a mystery to me as to what its trying to convey. Despite not having been officially released until 2022 it took on a level of popularity from live performances.

lyrics

Colosseum Fatigue

The wheels turn at the Alba County crossing,
Wheels turn, and I'm holding out for a
Kinder voice, I ruminate on a kinder voice.

One by one the passengers are going, except
An angel who tells me how she's what I need,
But she's only an angel of fatigue.

But I was born in a deep-seated yellow
And my eyes they couldn’t see
Take my hand and walk beside me
My colosseum fatigue, my coliseum fatigue, my coliseum fatigue

The monolith of hype we grind to a halt at,
And caress it, now we are the same we're
Duly crowned, and profanities speak profound.

But I was born in a deep-seated yellow
And my eyes they couldn’t see
Take my hand and walk beside me
My colosseum fatigue, my colosseum fatigue, my colosseum fatigue

But I was born in a deep-seated yellow
And my eyes they couldn’t see
Take my hand and walk beside me
My colosseum fatigue, my colosseum fatigue, my colosseum fatigue
