Monster
Forty Foot Echo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lost myself
And you were there by my side
I needed you there
But I didn't know
What I become
Inside, I am a monster
Inside, it's getting colder
But I won't go
Until I say goodbye...
I just couldn't see
All the hidden tears
That you kept crying for me
Now I want you back
But you can't see
How you believe
Inside, I am a monster
Inside, I'm a disaster
Inside, it's getting colder
But I won't go
Until I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...
Inside, I am a monster
Inside, I'm a disaster
Inside, I'm still a monster
But I won't go this way
No I won't go this way...
The lyrics of Forty Foot Echo's "Monster" explore the inner turmoil a person faces when they feel like they have lost themselves. The first verse sets the stage for the song's message, as the singer admits to losing themselves and needing the support of a loved one to find their way back. However, the second verse reveals that the singer's past actions caused pain to their loved one, and now they cannot see the love that still exists between them. The chorus emphasizes the singer's self-hatred and the feeling of being a monster, a disaster that is getting colder on the inside.
The final verse brings a sense of resolve to the song's story, as the singer acknowledges their inner monster but also declares that they will not continue down that path. The decision not to give up is reinforced with the repetition of "But I won't go this way," indicating the desire for change and growth. Overall, the lyrics of "Monster" express the pain of feeling like a monster, but also the strength and determination needed to overcome it.

One time in my life
At a certain point in my life
I lost myself
I became lost and unsure of my identity
And you were there by my side
You were present and supporting me during this time
I needed you there
I relied on your presence and support
But I didn't know
I was unaware at the time
What I become
Who I had turned into
Inside, I am a monster
Internally, I am monstrous or flawed
Inside, I'm a disaster
Internally, I am chaotic and destructive
Inside, it's getting colder
Internally, my emotional state is becoming colder and distant
But I won't go
I will not leave or give up
Until I say goodbye...
Until I am ready to move on and say goodbye to what's holding me back
I just couldn't see
I was unaware or blinded
All the hidden tears
All the suppressed emotions and pain
That you kept crying for me
That you were silently hurting for me
Now I want you back
I desire your presence and support again
But you can't see
You are unaware or unable to perceive
How you believe
Your mindset and beliefs
Inside, I am a monster
Internally, I am still flawed and corrupted
Inside, I'm a disaster
Internally, I am still chaotic and destructive
Inside, I'm still a monster
Internally, I am still monstrous or flawed
But I won't go this way
I won't continue down this path of destruction
No I won't go this way...
I refuse to continue on a path of self-destructive behavior
