Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the darkness got my lights
A little spark begun to shine
Woke up and I realized
Imperfection is divine
(Pre-Chorus)
In this creepy heart of mine
I know we will be just fine
And I believe I…
(Chorus)
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holdin' your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well that's not fair! (oh oh…)
Well that's not fair! (oh oh…)
(Verse)
In a world so black and white
I'm blazing up my mind
Woke up and I realized
Imperfection is divine
(Pre-Chorus)
In this creepy heart of mine
Let's keep going on the line
I know we will be just fine
And I believe I…
(Chorus)
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holdin' your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well that's not fair! (oh oh…)
Well that's not fair! (oh oh…)
(Chorus x2)
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holdin' your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well that's not fair! (oh oh…)
Well that's not fair! (oh oh…)
Bebe Rexha's "Monster Under My Bed" is a song of self-acceptance and embracing one's uniqueness. The opening verse hints at the singer's struggle with darkness, but a little spark of hope shines through. When the darkness got her lights, this little spark gave her the realization that imperfection is divine. She recognizes her flaws and is not afraid to embrace them. The pre-chorus sees her urging herself to push forward while the chorus is a bold statement that she accepts the monster under her bed and the voices inside her head.
This song challenges the social expectation of perfection that the world often thrives on. The second verse emphasizes the need for embracing imperfection in a world that is often painted in black and white. It is about accepting and coming to terms with oneself, and not letting others' opinions affect one's self-worth. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the acceptance of the monster under the bed, which is a metaphor for accepting one's darker side.
The lyrics are a powerful message of resilience, reaffirming the fact that despite one's imperfections, they are worth loving, and it is possible to embrace them fully. Bebe is urging everyone to do the same and fight the social stigma and standards. We all have our monsters under the bed, but it is up to each one of us to accept and love them.

This 100% better than the version we've heard years ago.
Bebe is really talented!!

@Adele u dont get it huh. the point is that rihanna originally when the song came out couldnt do that sound and that bebe did the vocals. not only that she sounds far better at it but thats usually the case with writers and their songs. now read before commenting on something 2 months later
Adele
@XxabsolitexX X it’s literally not hate. Despite my Adele pfp I’m a huge bebe Stan but you can’t deny Rihanna did amazing. Both artists have an amazing voice and unique range and Rihanna’s emotion kicked in more. But this version isn’t to the extent it’s better. That’s all.

Hell fuckin yeah to that
