Monsters
Band of Horses鐀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They can't find you for the moment
Then for all past efforts
They're buried deep beneath your heart
And somewhere in your stomach
And hatred for all others
When awful people they surround you
Well, eh, they just like monsters
They come to feed on me
Giant little animals to feed
Vote to say "we got much hope
If I am lost, it's only for a little while"
A treat for all these problems
They can't find us for the moment
Then for all past effort
They're buried deep beneath our hearts
And somewhere in our stomachs
And hatred for all others
Awful people, they surround you
Eh, they just like monsters
They come to feed on us
Giant little animals for us
Though to say "we got much hope
If I am lost it's only for a little while"
Though to say "we got much hope
If I am lost it's only for a little while
If I am lost it's only for a little while
If I am lost it's only for a little while"
The lyrics to "Monsters" by Band of Horses explore themes of facing one's problems, dealing with hatred towards others, and finding hope in difficult situations. The first stanza describes finding temporary relief from problems that feel overwhelming, but acknowledges that they still linger just below the surface. The second stanza brings in a sense of anger towards others who may be contributing to these problems, who are likened to monsters who feed on the singer. However, the chorus repeats a hopeful sentiment - that even if the singer is lost, it is only for a little while.
One interpretation of these lyrics is that the monsters and problems referenced may be related to addiction or mental health struggles. The temporary relief of a "treat" may refer to substance use, while the constant presence of monsters could represent mental illness or negative thought patterns. The hopefulness in the chorus could then be seen as a reminder to keep pushing through tough times in order to reach a better place.

合唱：
I see your monsters I see your pain
Tell me your problems I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away
1：
In the dark we we
We stand apart we we
Never see that the things we need are staring right at us.
2：
You just want to hide hide hide
Hide never show your smile smile
Stand alone when you need someone it's the hardest thing of all
That you see are the bad bad bad
Bad memories take your time and you'll find me
合唱：
I see your monsters I see your pain
Tell me your problems I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away
2：
I could see the sky sky sky
Sky beautiful tonight night
When you breathe why can't you see the clouds are in your head
1：
I would stay there there there
There's no need to fear fear
And when you need to talk it out with someone you can trust
What you see are the bad bad bad
Bad memories take your time and you'll find me
合唱：
I see your monsters I see your pain
Tell me your problems I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away.
1：
I'll chase them all away
2：
You've got the chance to see the light
Even in the darkest night
And i'll be here like you were for me
So just let me in..
合唱：
Cause I see your monsters I see your pain
Tell me your problems I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away
I see your monsters I see your pain
Tell me your problems I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away
@user-wp4ug4we4q
I see your monsters
I see your pain
Tell me your problems
I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away
A cup of coffee still steaming
Staring back at me, it's blacker than the night
Ay, I'm awake but still sleeping
I keep telling myself I'll be alright (I won't)
And I know it can't get worse than today
Sitting here and she's trying to rehearse what to say
See, she's in the bathroom hoping I'm not in earshot
While she's getting used
To the sound of a teardrop, splash it hits the tile
And I know it's been a while since you seen me
Smile and laugh like I used to
I've been in denial since it happened
Just take me to the past
'Cause I just can't imagine losing you (too)
I can't explain this so I'll keep it all inside
Wear my pain, but it's masked by my pride
She came to hold me and she cried
Told me this as she stared into my eyes, said
I see your monsters
I see your pain
Tell me your problems
I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away
I can't, you won't like what you see
If you were in my head and had to hear my pleas
It's like I can't believe this is happening to me
And could someone please
Shut this fucking answering machine
So I can start leaving these messages
That you will never get
And all these cries for help
You'll never see and never check
But I guess it's easy for you to leave me
But believe me
See this isn't something that Ima just forget
I would trade it all for one more minute
Don't you see I really need you to talk to
I'm still sitting here wondering who did it
While I'm staring out our front door
Knowing you'll never walk through
Said you'd come right back
And now you're gone like that
A blank stare as I stand so alone
And know you're never coming home (damn)
I see your monsters
I see your pain
Tell me your problems
I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay (yeah)
When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away
I got a heart made of fool's gold
Got me feeling so cold
You keep chipping away
All the promises that I told
Felt like I was on those
They keep slipping away
I want nobody else
But it's hard to get to know me
When I don't know myself
And it helps 'cause I felt
I was down, I was out
Then you looked at me now
And said I see your monsters
I see your pain
Tell me your problems
I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
I see your monsters
I see your pain
Tell me your problems
I'll chase them away (chase them all away)
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay (make it okay)
When I see your monsters
(When I see your monsters)
I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away
