Created a Monster
B.o.B Lyrics

Hawaaooooaaaaooooo hawaaooooaaaaooooo
The singer starts the song with a series of elongated vocalizations that set the tone for an emotional and introspective song.

Well I'm trapped on a roller coaster
The singer expresses his feelings of being stuck in a difficult situation, similar to being on a roller coaster ride that he can't get off of.

And they won't let me go so it's totally bogus
The singer feels like other people or external circumstances are preventing him from moving forward and he thinks it's unfair and frustrating.

And every single day it gets colder, colder
The singer feels like the difficult situation he's in is getting worse and colder, both physically and emotionally.

'Till my mood get low like below the sofa
The singer's mood has gotten so bad that he feels like he's sunk below a sofa - lost and hidden from the world.

Can somebody tell me where to go?
The singer feels lost and overwhelmed and is asking for help and guidance from someone else.

Somewhere far away where it can't go wrong
The singer wants to escape from his current situation and go somewhere where everything will go right and he won't face anymore problems.

There's way too many snakes on this globe
The singer is frustrated with the world because he feels like there are too many deceitful and malicious people in it - symbolized by snakes in this context.

Now everybody sing it, everybody sing it
The singer is asking everyone listening to the song to sing along with him in order to emphasize the song's message and the importance of the issue he's discussing.

We created a monster, created a monster
The singer uses the metaphor of creating a monster to describe the negative consequences that can result from our actions or decisions that seemed good at the time.

But nobody wants some, but nobody wants some
Even if we create problems or issues, nobody wants to deal with them or take responsibility for resolving them.

But nobody wants to kill it
Although the negative consequences of creating a problem are apparent, nobody wants to take the steps necessary to fully resolve it.

So long
The singer is saying goodbye to his current situation and is ready to move on.

Wherever my soul will go
The singer is ready to follow his dreams and passions wherever they may take him.

Outer-spa-yaa-yaa-yaaace
The singer uses this phrase to symbolize the vastness and infinite possibilities of space and the universe.

To get where I am I can give you directions
The singer is describing how he has overcome difficult circumstances and can share his insights with others in a similar situation to help them move forward.

I'm in the future I can get with the Jetsons
The singer is describing how he feels like he's ahead of his time and can connect with futuristic concepts and ideas, like the animated TV show 'The Jetsons'.

I need to leave someone give me suggestions
The singer is expressing that he needs to move on from his current situation but is unsure of where to go or what to do, and is asking for suggestions or guidance.

Fuck elections, the whole planets infected
The singer is frustrated with the world and believes that almost all parts of society, including the political system, are corrupt or untrustworthy.

Uh, call the doctor I could use some direction
The singer is using metaphor to describe how he needs professional or expert help to navigate his life and is feeling lost and directionless.

Uh, call the reverend I could make a confession
The singer is also using metaphor again to describe how he feels like he needs to confess his past mistakes or sins to a religious figure or someone with moral authority to help him move forward.

Built just like a subatomic nuclear weapon
The singer is describing himself as powerful and explosive, similar to a nuclear bomb, but on a smaller or more personal level.

But since there's nowhere to go (nowhere to go?)
The singer is acknowledging that he feels stuck and has no other options, but also questioning whether this feeling is actually true and if there are still other possibilities open to him.

On the road
The singer is moving forward and embarking on a new journey or path.

Haha
The singer expresses a sense of optimism or positivity as he concludes the song.
