Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me such a fright
Monsters in my head
Come out at night
So I stay awake til dawn
Until the feeling's gone
Give me such a fright
Monsters in my head
Come out at night
So I stayed awake til dawn
Until the feeling's gone
But I don't mind falling as far as I can
if it's into her arms
I'm sure that I will land
I'm sure that I will land
I saw your eyes
In a crowd of them
I saw your eyes in a line of men
But I don't mind falling as far as I can
if it's into her arms
I'm sure that I will land
I'm sure that I will land
The lyrics to Anna Scouten's song "Monsters" are about anxiety and finding comfort in someone else. The first verse discusses the fear of monsters under the bed and in the head that come out at night. The singer stays awake until the feeling subsides, highlighting the common fear many people have of not being able to sleep due to their racing thoughts. The chorus repeats this sentiment of the monsters giving a fright and staying awake until the feeling is gone.
The second verse switches to a different topic, describing how the singer saw someone's eyes in a crowd of people or lines of men. This person may represent a source of comfort for the singer, suggesting that they may fall for that person despite any personal struggles they have. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that the singer is willing to face their fears and struggles as long as they can do so with that person.

And why do I do this? Think of the silly games. Hold my breath in silence try to send you on your way. All the love lost over. All the lovely years I known. Going to your bud ear like if I think it's home

I love this song! To me it reminds like when a girl when she dates a boy that likes her. But then they start all fights and such. ''Silly games'' it's like to me like she let's him say sorry because he is cheating. I wish I know how to play the guitar and sing this on Rocking After School talent show.
