about

Monster is about a person whose life is out of control, they’ve entered a new relationship and are seeing a different path in life, one of light and awakening. They are starting to show glimpses of their past self and realise the difficulty in making personal changes.

lyrics

I got someone to call on
when I trip and fall
someone to open up the doors
when my backs against the wall
I’m not perfect
I'm pretty far from it
but I got you and yet somehow
I haven’t fucked it all up yet
A tragic case
A goddamn disgrace
This chip I wear is killing us
as you carry all the weight

Save me
Pull me out now from this nightmare
Don’t let me fall asleep
(Don’t let me sleep)
Change me
Coz this monster in my mirror
He’s ruined everything

Someone to lean on
when I can’t stand on my own
Someone to shed a little light
in this dimly lit world
Left in the waves
I’d surely drown
there’d be no one to lift my head up
when it sinks all the way down
and all my friends,
got their problems
It's hard to be here for each other
we all just play pretend

Save me
Pull me out now from this nightmare
Don’t let me fall asleep
(Don’t let me sleep)
Change me
Coz this monster in my mirror
He’s ruined everything

When's enough, enough?
Oh I know my life is blessed
Why am I still so goddamn depressed
When’s enough, enough?
With everything I put you through
I’m so lucky to be coming home to you

Save me
Pull me out now from this nightmare
Don’t let me fall asleep
(Don’t let me sleep)
Change me
Coz this monster in my mirror
He’s ruined everything

He’s ruined everything (x6)
Save me, change me
Save me, change me
