- Monster Lyrics

The secret side of me, I never let you see
I keep it caged but I can't control it
So stay away from me, the beast is ugly
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it

It's scratching on the walls, in the closet, in the halls
It comes awake and I can't control it
Hiding under the bed, in my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster

My secret side I keep hid under lock and key
I keep it caged but I can't control it
'Cause if I let him out he'll tear me up, break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster

It's hiding in the dark, it's teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me, it wants my soul, it wants my heart
No one can hear me scream, maybe it's just a dream
Maybe it's inside of me, stop this monster

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I've gotta lose control, he something radical
I must confess that I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster

What is the meaning behind Monster lyrics?


When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, Skillet's 'Monster' tackles the issue of the internal conflict of hiding one's darkest side, and the feeling of being a monster that is out of control and, hence, undesired. The writer, through the use of metaphors, conveys the same fear of being rid of the control and the wish for salvation from the monstrous image. Monster lyrics continue to talk about mainly feelings of angst, despair, anger, reflection and loneliness. Besides, the song also quite clearly points out the need for inner struggle, self-identity and fear plus isolation. The lyrics present the themes of inner turmoil, rage, and feelings of being a monster, which might not be comfortable for the youngest listeners. The allusions to a 'beast' and 'nightmare' surely do indicate dark themes that may not be suitable for children under 13, therefore, a PG-13 rating becomes necessary.
