"Monster" is about the darkness inside yourself that can surface amidst the chaos and misunderstanding of self-worth...the confusion about who you really are and the power that others have over your own self-reflection.
lyrics
Monster
i lurk in the trees do you believe in this side of me this side of me?
'cuz i feel alive in this lullaby of screaming dreams and everything between
now it's getting dark time to embark and make my mark, yes make my mark
but i'm holding back, hiding my tracks so you don't have to know my next attack
'cuz i'm a monster waiting to come out
to show you who I am
to show you there's no doubt
that I'm not quite what i seem
unless I'm wrong...oh please
my fate lies in what you believe
i'm fighting off the bitter coughs, the founding lost, the cutting saws
to make amends get off the fence. just give me a chance, give me a chance
'cuz i'm a monster waiting to come out
to show you who I am
to show you there's no doubt
that I'm not quite what i seem
unless I'm wrong...oh please
my fate lies in what you believe
come to me come to me please come to me
because it's me that's afraid of thee
and i'm a monster, but don't be alarmed
i'll show you who i am
that i mean no harm
'cuz I'm not quite what i seem
i hope someday that you believe in me...
