Monsters
Hazlett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A good one wasted on a horse
One time gowns to wipe it off
Ohhhh
Vibration
Hungry kisses in the halls
Cheating hugs in rushing doors
It (?)
Moves over so discretely
Are we monsters
Led by the things we wanted
Longing to be more honest
Desperate to find what's haunting us
Haunting us
Any-day now
Lone(?) will come rescue you
If you're open to the truth
Time you call em out
It's hard to find the chemistry
Clothed with insecurity
When I go in to get no sleep
It (?)
Moves over so discretely
Are we monsters
Led by the things we wanted
Longing to be more honest
Desperate to find what's haunting us
Haunting us
Monsters
Monsters
Monsters
Haunting us
Haunting us
When I go in to get no sleep
When I go in to get no sleep
Are we monsters
Led by the things we wanted
Longing to be more honest
Desperate to find what's haunting us
Haunting us
Are we monsters
Led by the things we wanted
Longing to be more honest
Desperate to find what's haunting us
Haunting us
The lyrics of Hazlettโs song โMonstersโ explore the darker sides of human desires, vulnerability and insecurity. The song captures the inner conflict and struggle of an individual torn between their wishes and realities. The first stanza talks about a celebration that is wasted on a horse and about one-time gowns being used to wipe it off, which could symbolize something that was meant to be special, but it ended up being ruined. The second line emphasizes on the fact that vibration and desires often get the better of people, leading to cheating and sneaky behavior, which indicates human vulnerability and weakness.
The next stanza highlights the feeling of being alone, even when you are in a relationship or with someone you love. The singer feels disconnected, and when they try to sleep, it seems like their partner moves away from them discretely, highlighting the feeling of detachment and distance. The chorus of the song repeats the question, โAre we monsters?โ, which could indicate the need to question oneโs desires and actions to know if one is crossing a moral line or not. The song suggests that humans are led by the things they want, desperate to find what's haunting them, even if that means being dishonest or deceptive. The song uses the word monster to evoke the feeling of something that is ugly and evil within themselves.
Overall the song portrays a universal truth that everyone has a dark side, and itโs important to confront and understand it to overcome it.
