Monsters
Anni B Sweet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold, hold me in your arms
make me feel like I’m just one
one of a kind
Hold, hold me in your arms
make me feel like I’m just one
one of a kind

Sounds like waterfalls are falling hard
rain again is pouring down
and it feels right
but when the night
the night is black again you ride
I’m staying all alone
I don’t know why

Hold, hold me in your arms
make me feel like I’m just one
one of a kind

You better run for your life
before it gets dark
because that’s when you run away
monsters will eat your heart

Hold, hold me in your arms
make me feel like I’m just one
one of a kind




Hold, hold me in your arms tonight
and make me fell like I’m just one

Overall Meaning

The song "Monsters" by Anni B Sweet is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that speaks about fear, vulnerability, and the need for comfort in relationships. The first verse speaks about wanting to be held in the arms of the person she loves, to feel unique and special to them, like she is one of a kind. The second verse brings in the imagery of waterfalls and rain, hinting at the storminess of the relationship, and how sometimes it feels right, but other times it is dark and scary. She talks about being left alone during these dark times and wondering why.


The chorus repeats the desire to be held and loved, but the final line warns the person to run away before it gets dark because that's when monsters will eat your heart. This line is symbolic of the fear that some people have in relationships that they will be hurt, abandoned, or betrayed by their partner.


Overall, the song speaks to the universal human desire for love and comfort, but with an undercurrent of anxiety and fear that sometimes comes with relationships. It is a beautifully melancholic song that will resonate with anyone who has ever loved and lost or who struggles with trust and vulnerability in relationships.
