(Calvin's parts are italicized)

I just can't quite explain
Why it's not the same
With you anymore
It's not that you have changed
Or that we're estranged
I just wanted more

I've always lived my life
Under watchful eyes
Always someone's girl

You only wanted me
As you thought I'd be
Living in your world

Your insanity
Is not lost on me
Mess around with hearts
So easily broke
I still can't
Believe
It's not all a joke


What do you know
What do you care
How could you think
Things were okay
How could I know
Behind that stare
You're on the brink
I couldn't stay

I'm
Scared

Whatever you say
I'm
Scared

You wouldn't stay


Stop sleeping and start bleeding
I know you're hurt and it's not fair
Stop dreaming and start bleeding
Blood on your shirt and in your hair
It kind of hurts when you're
(Here and) not there

And I can't quite explain
Why you act insane
Why you fail to cope
Something inside your brain
Trips a switch again
And you lose all hope

I'm not responsible
If you lose control
If you go too far
You try and cut yourself
But it doesn't help
It just leaves a scar

Messing around with
Hands and glass and games of
Smash and and brag, I guess I'll
Have to live with
Cussing out
All of my mistakes


What do you know
What do you care
How could you think
Things were okay
How could I know
Behind that stare
You're on the brink
I couldn't stay

I'm
Scarred

Whatever you...
Say
I'm scarred

Anyway


Stop sleeping and start bleeding
I know you're hurt and it's not fair
Stop dreaming and start bleeding
Blood on your shirt and in your hair
It kind of hurts when you're
(Here and) not there

Stop dreaming and start screaming
It's so hard trying not to care
Stop breathing and start screaming
But you're too much for me to bear
It kind of hurts when you're
(Here and) not there

(Amelia sings Calvin's part here)
What do you know
What do you care
How could you think
Things were okay
How could I know
Behind that stare
You're on the brink
I couldn't stay

I'm
Scared

Whatever you say
I'm
Scared

You wouldn't stay


Stop dreaming and start screaming
It's so hard trying not to care
Stop breathing and start screaming
But you're too much for me to bear




It kind of hurts when you're
(Here and) not there

Overall Meaning

The song "Pet Monkey" by Heavenly is a powerful expression of a tumultuous and abusive relationship. The song starts with the singer, Amelia, expressing her confusion as to what changed in her partner, Calvin. She realizes that neither of them has changed, but something has driven them apart. Amelia explains how she always lived under someone’s watchful eyes and how Calvin only wanted her to be a part of his world. In the second verse, Calvin's erratic behavior becomes more evident, and Amelia expresses her concern for him. However, his actions become too much for her to handle, and she decides to leave.


The chorus of the song brings in the painful reality of their relationship, where Amelia is scared of Calvin's actions, and Calvin suffers from his mental instability. The lyrics "it kind of hurts when you're (here and) not there" portray the emotional toll the relationship has taken on both of them. She acknowledges that Calvin's mind is "trip wired" and how this can lead to destructive behavior. In the end, Amelia depicts the pain she has to bear when leaving someone she loves.


Line by Line Meaning

I just can't quite explain
I am unable to fully articulate my current situation


Why it's not the same
Why things have changed


With you anymore
Between us


It's not that you have changed
I'm not blaming you


Or that we're estranged
We're not disconnected


I just wanted more
I expected better than this


I've always lived my life
I've lived life this way for a long time


Under watchful eyes
I've had to be careful


Always someone's girl
I've always belonged to someone else


You only wanted me
You only chose me


As you thought I'd be
Based on how I appeared to you


Living in your world
In your comfort zone


Your insanity
Your irrationality


Is not lost on me
I'm aware of it


Mess around with hearts
Playing with emotions


So easily broke
Quickly causing damage


I still can't believe
It's hard to accept


It's not all a joke
Not everything is meant to be funny


What do you know
You're not informed


What do you care
You're not concerned


How could you think
I'm confused about what you believe


Things were okay
That things have been going well


How could I know
I was unaware


Behind that stare
The truth behind your look


You're on the brink
You're at the edge


I couldn't stay
I had to leave


I'm scared
I'm frightened


Whatever you say
I'm regardless of your words


You wouldn't stay
You don't want to be with me


Stop sleeping and start bleeding
You need to take action and feel pain


I know you're hurt and it's not fair
I understand your pain, but it's not just


Stop dreaming and start bleeding
Wake up and face your issues


Blood on your shirt and in your hair
You'll face the consequences of your actions


It kind of hurts when you're, (Here and) not there
It's hard being in limbo


And I can't quite explain
I'm unable to fully express


Why you act insane
Why you behave irrationally


Why you fail to cope
Why you can't handle the situation


Something inside your brain
A mental issue you're struggling with


Trips a switch again
It's triggered you again


And you lose all hope
You become hopeless


I'm not responsible
It's not my fault


If you lose control
If you can't handle your actions


If you go too far
If you cross the line


You try and cut yourself
You harm yourself


But it doesn't help
It's not healthy


It just leaves a scar
It causes you pain and hurt


Messing around with
Playing with


Hands and glass and games of
Dangerous behavior


Smash and and brag, I guess I'll
Nonsensical activity


Have to live with
Have to accept


Cussing out
Cursing


All of my mistakes
My errors


Stop dreaming and start screaming
You need to stop dreaming and express your feelings


It's so hard trying not to care
I'm struggling not to sympathize


Stop breathing and start screaming
You need to speak up even if it's hard


But you're too much for me to bear
You're too overwhelming for me


I'm scarred
I'm hurt


Anyway
Regardless
