Little Monster
Royal Blood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey little monster, I got my eye on you
Where are you going, where you running to?
Hey little monster, you know it's all okay
I'm gonna love ya, no matter what you say

I've got love on my fingers
Lust on my tongue
You say you got nothing,
So come out and get some
Heartache to Heartache,
I'm your wolf, I'm your man
I say run little monster,
Before you know who I am

Hey little creature,
Tell me what's on your mind,
Where've you been hiding?
And can I come this time?
So pleased to please ya
And rip that heart off your sleeve,
What we discover

I've got love on my fingers
Lust on my tongue
You say you got nothing,
So come out and get some
Heartache to Heartache,
I'm your wolf, I'm your man
I say run little monster
Before you know who I am

I've got love on my fingers
Lust on my tongue
You say you got nothing,
So come out and get some
Heartache to Heartache
I'm your wolf, I'm your man
I say run little monster,
Before you know who I

Am

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Royal Blood's song Little Monster speak to the idea of being fiercely attracted to someone, almost to the point of being dangerous. The repeated phrase "Hey little monster" sets the tone for the intensity of the song and the line "I'm your wolf, I'm your man" almost presents the singer as a predator. However, the lyrics also suggest a desire for connection and understanding, as the singer asks the person they are pursuing to reveal what is on their mind and invites them to come out and get some love.


The repeated references to love, lust, heartache, and discovery paint a picture of a volatile and passionate relationship. The line "heartache to heartache" implies that both individuals are familiar with pain and may be drawn to each other in part because of their shared experiences. The repetition of the chorus underscores the intensity of the singer's attraction and their desire for the other person to share in it. Overall, the song is a complex mix of desire and danger, passion and pain, and leaves the listener with the sense that the singer's love, while potentially destructive, is also all-encompassing and unwavering.
