Look at this
I'm a coward too
You don't need to hide, my friend
For I'm just like you

Yes, oh my god

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites by GreenBlueRup/Skrillex seems to delve into themes of self-doubt and insecurity. The opening lines of "Look at this, I'm a coward too" sends a message of relatability to the listener, showing that even a successful artist like Skrillex struggles with their own fears and anxieties. The next lines "You don't need to hide, my friend, for I'm just like you" can be interpreted as a message of encouragement, assuring the listener that they don't have to hide their own weaknesses because the artist is just like them.


The repetition of these lines throughout the song can be seen as a mantra of sorts, repeating the message that it's okay to be scared or unsure, and that there is solidarity in that vulnerability. It's not always easy to admit one's own fears, but the song acknowledges that everyone has them and that it's okay to lean on others for support.

Yes, oh my god
An expression of surprise or excitement
