Monsters
Katie Sky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see your monsters, I see your pain
Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse, I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters, I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away

In the dark we, we, we stand apart
We, we never see that the things we need
Are staring right at us
You just wanna hide, hide, hide
Never show your smile, smile
Stand alone when you need someone
It's the hardest thing of all
That you see are the bad, bad, bad memories
Take your time and you'll find me

I see your monsters, I see your pain
Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse, I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters, I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away

I could see the sky, sky, sky, beautiful tonight, night
When you breathe why can't you see
That the clouds are in your head?
I will stay there, there, there
No need to fear, fear
And when you need to talk it out
With someone you can trust
What you see are the bad, bad, bad memories
Take your time and you'll find me

I see your monsters, I see your pain
Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse, I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters, I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away
I'll chase them all away

You've got the chance to see the light
Even in the darkest night
And I will be here like you were for me
So, just let me in

'Cause I see your monsters, I see your pain
Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse, I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters, I'll stand there so brave

I see your monsters, I see your pain
Tell me your problems, I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse, I'll make it okay




When I see your monsters, I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away

Together, we'll overcome whatever scares you


A cup of coffee still steaming
I'm going through my own struggles, but I'm trying to stay awake and alert


Staring back at me, it's blacker than the night
The coffee is dark, but the situation feels even darker


I'm awake but still sleeping
I'm physically awake, but emotionally drained


I keep telling myself I'll be alright (I won't)
I'm trying to stay positive, but I'm not sure if I can make it through


And I know it can't get worse than today
Things are bad, but I hope they won't get worse than they already are


Sitting here and she's trying to rehearse what to say
Someone close to me is struggling to find the words to express their pain


See, she's in the bathroom hoping I'm not in earshot
She's trying to stay hidden and keep her suffering to herself


While she's getting used to the sound of a teardrop (Splash)
She's crying so much that even the sound of her tears is becoming familiar


It hits the tile
The tears fall to the ground


And I know it's been a while since you seen me
It's been some time since I was truly happy


Smile and laugh like I used to
I miss the days when I was carefree and joyful


I've been in denial since it happened
I've been refusing to accept a painful event in my life


Just take me to the past
I wish I could go back to a time before this pain


'Cause I just can't imagine losing you (too)
The thought of losing someone else is unbearable


I can't explain this so I'll keep it all inside
I can't express my emotions, so I'll keep everything bottled up


Wear my pain, but it's masked by my pride
I'm in pain, but I'm too proud to show it


She came to hold me and she cried
Someone close to me came to comfort me and cried alongside me


Told me this as she stared into my eyes, said
She looked me in the eye and said the following:


I can't
I'm struggling too much to handle this


You won't like what you see
If you knew what was going on in my head, you wouldn't like it


If you were in my head and had to hear my pleas
If you knew what I was thinking, you'd understand my pain


It's like
I can't explain it perfectly, but it's like...


I can't believe this is happening to me
I feel like my suffering is unfair and unimaginable


And could someone please shut this fucking answering machine
I'm frustrated that I'm not getting a response or support from someone I need


So I can start leaving these messages
I'm trying to reach out for help, but no one is responding


That you will never get
I'm reaching out, but no one is listening


And all these cries for help
I'm desperately trying to ask for help


You'll never see and never check
Despite my efforts, no one is paying attention to my pain


But I guess it's easy for you to leave me
It's easy for others to abandon me during this difficult time


But believe me
Please listen and understand my pain


See this isn't something that Imma just forget
I can't just ignore my pain and move on


I would trade it all for one more minute
I'd give up everything for just a few more moments with someone I've lost


Don't you see I really need you to talk to
I need someone to talk to during my struggles


I'm still sitting here wondering who did it
I'm still trying to understand who caused my pain and why it happened


While I'm staring out our front door
I'm thinking about happier times and waiting for someone who won't come back


Knowing you'll never walk through
Realizing that someone I've lost will never come back


Said you'd come right back
Someone promised to return, but they never did


And now you're gone like that
The person I've lost is gone suddenly and without warning


A blank stare as I stand so alone
I'm feeling empty and isolated


And know you're never coming home (damn)
I'm accepting that someone I've lost will never return and feeling the weight of that fact


I got a heart made of fool's gold
I have a heart that looks precious, but it's fake


Got me feeling so cold
I'm feeling emotionally cold and distant


But you chipping away
Despite my walls, you're slowly breaking down my defenses


All the promises that I told
I promised many things but couldn't deliver


Felt like I was on those
I thought I was slipping away from everything and everyone


But keep slipping away
I still feel like I'm losing myself and everything around me


I want nobody else
I only want you to help me through this pain


But it's hard to get to know me
It's hard to connect with me and understand my pain


When I don't know myself
I'm struggling to understand and accept myself


And it helps
But one thing is helping me


'Cause I felt
Because of the way I felt


I was down, I was out
I was depressed and struggling


Then you looked at me now
But then you came along and things changed


And said
And you said:

I see your monsters
I see your pain
Tell me your problems
I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away

In the dark we, we, we
Stand apart we, we
Never see that the things we need are staring right at us
You just want to hide, hide
Never show your smile, smile, smile
Stand alone when you need someone
Its the hardest thing of all
That you see are the bad, bad, bad memories
Take your time, you'll find it

I see your monsters
I see your pain
Tell me your problems
I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away


I can see the sky, sky, sky
Beautiful tonight, night
When you breathe why can't you see
The clouds are in your head
I will stay there there, there, there
No need to fear, fear
When you need to talk it out with someone you can trust
What you see are the bad, bad, bad memories
Take your time you'll find it

I see your monsters
I see your pain
Tell me your problems
I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away
I'll chase them all away

You've got the chance to see the light
Even in the darkest night
And I will be here like you were for me
So just let me in

Cause I see your monsters
I see your pain
Tell me your problems
I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away

I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away

El cover que realizó Dahyun (miembro del grupo Twice) me motivó a escuchar la canción original y la verdad es muy hermosa tanto la canción original como el cover. Realmente la letra me conmovió y ahora no puedo dejar de escucharla ♥️

Marcela Palma

También vine por Dahyun 🤍, lloré escuchándola (sin conocer bien la letra), no sólo porque la amo y a todo Twice 💜, sino porque su dulce voz toca mi corazón.
Es muy probable que esta canción le gustara mucho a Dahyun en sus tiempos de trainee (ya que es del 2014) y no dudara en hacer el cover tan hermoso que le resultó, debe significar mucho para ella.

julia loves gfriend

i watched Dahyun’s (from twice) cover of this song for her melody project today and I loved it !!! it’s such a sweet song and I love both the original and the cover !!

Marcela Palma

I came here because of Dahyun too 🤍 her sweet voice was touch my heart and I cry 💜
This is a beautiful song and voice of Katie Sky, is a masterpiece 😍

Noe Galvan

Guys! Me too! 😆 it's crazy how you don't really hear dabu's voice and it touched my heart. Had to hear the original. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM BOTH!
