Overture
Al. B. Damned Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Verse 1
Monsters who do mischief do not breath fire or smoke.
Beasts who are a bother don't squeal or growl or croak.
They hardly ever frighten or haunt you in your dreams.
Upon closer inspection things are not what they seem.
Verse 2
Swinging from the ceiling, sliding down the walls,
underneath the table, lurking in the halls.
When Mom and Dad are angry and use your middle name
Mischievous Monsters and Bothersome Beasts
should get some of the blame.
The song Overture by Al. B. Damned is an intriguing track that offers a fresh perspective on the folklore surrounding monsters and beasts. The first verse suggests that monsters and beasts aren't always what they seem since they don't necessarily breathe fire, smoke, growl or croak. Instead, mischievous monsters cause trouble and mayhem in unsuspecting ways that are often overlooked. The implication is that one should be careful because the danger may not always assessable by appearance alone.
The second verse centers around children and how they often get into trouble with their parents. Mischievous monsters and bothersome beasts are used as a metaphor for the children who seem to be always in the wrong place at the wrong time. They are the ones who swing from the ceiling, slide down walls, lurk in the halls, and generally get into mischief. When a child gets in trouble with their parents, they should be held accountable, but the song suggests that some blame should be placed on the mischievous monsters and bothersome beasts, which again emphasizes the metaphorical nature of the song.
