Monsters
Alvin Risk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come in closer
Tell me why all the boys wear blue
Breathing deeply while you walk the rope
In high heels and a bathing suit
Seasons are turning
Seems like you're dreaming all about the boys
They call you baby
Just to hear the sound of their own voice

Monsters under your bed, girl
Tell you lies about me, lies about me




Monsters under your bed, girl
Tell you lies about me, lies

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alvin Risk's song "Monsters" have a sense of vulnerability and confusion that takes center stage. In the opening lines, the song asserts and asks why all the boys wear blue before lamenting about a girl who breathes deeply while walking a rope, a symbol of how precarious and difficult life has been for her. The next lines depict the changing seasons, which signals a cycle of personal evolution, whereas the upcoming ones talk about how the girl is always dreaming about the boys who call her baby, leading her to believe that they are genuinely interested in her.


The chorus reveals the complexity of the girl's situation. Beyond the surface-level wistfulness, there are hints of betrayal and conspiracy, as she realizes that there are monsters under her bed, lying to her about the singer. These lines emphasize that it is not merely about the girl's insecurity, but the world around her that is not committed to honest communication. The girl has no control over the situation and is open to being misrepresented by people she trusts. The song shows how essential it is to separate fantasy from reality, in a world where people are always prone to manipulation and deceit.
