Monarki unleashes official lyric video for “Geek”
If you’re a fan of industrial rock and also a big grunge aficionado, you definitely will love this new music video from Monarki, an Indonesian alternative rock from Bandung. The band has just released a new lyric video for single Geek on their Youtube channel, on August 5, 2017.
The video contains a huge set of footage from the band’s live performances, massively edited to synchronize with the music.
Geek depicts about always to trust and be yourself, no matter how “different” you are. Let the freak in yourself goes out without a doubt.
With four-on-the-floor beat; post-grunge distorted and some fuzz guitars; and vocal in the shape of Chris Cornell, Geek unequivocally will not fail to get you up out of your seat and moving!
The song is the last single from their debut EP Eyes of the Future, released in April 2016, and the only song current frontman Widi Permana Putra took part in the very album, replacing former vocalist Vona Agfian who parted ways with the band during the recording sessions.

GEEK
Born to be special
Designed to kill em all
The difference makes us stronger
Nothing can make us fall
Looks can always fool you
Just like Clark Kent do
The power deep within you
There’s nothing we can’t do
Everybody wants to be a geek
Every single us is really a freak
Just stick to the notion
And held your head up high
Let’s skip the frustration
And you will getting by
Disaster is you master
Don’t ever cross your mind
Put the power to the passion
Forever cure the blind
Everybody wants to be a geek
Every single us is really a freak
Free just like a free bird fly
Just feel the wind beneath your wings
And let’s fly through the sky
Be whatever you wannabe
Our doubts are our traitors
So don’t be afraid
Let the freak be free
*****
