The post-chorus implies that the attraction is still present, with the repetition of "He ate my heart" and the admission of wanting to talk to the object of desire. In the breakdown, there is a shift in perspective as the lyrics suggest the "monster" is now in bed, making it clear that the attraction has led to a sexual encounter. The bridge describes a scenario where the narrator and the "monster" engage in public displays of affection, further emphasizing their connection.
Overall, the song portrays the temptations and dangers of being attracted to a "monster" and the fear of losing oneself in that attraction. Gaga uses metaphorical language to convey her message, making it a relatable story about love, lust, and the struggle to resist temptation.

Lady GaGa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've never seen one like that before
Don't look at me like that
You amaze me
He ate my heart, he a-a-ate my heart (you little monster)
He ate my heart, he a-a-ate my heart out (you amaze me)
He ate my heart, he a-a-ate my heart
Look at him, look at me
That boy is bad, and honestly
He's a wolf in disguise
But I can't stop staring in those evil eyes
I asked my girlfriend if she'd seen you round before
She mumbled something while we got down on the floor baby
We might've fucked not really sure, don't quite recall
But something tells me that I've seen him round before
He's a monster m-m-m-monster
That boy is a monster m-m-m-monster
That boy is a monster m-m-m-monster
That boy is a monster er-er-er-er
He ate my heart (I love that girl)
He ate my heart (I love that girl, she's hot as hell)
He ate my heart (I love that girl)
He ate my heart (wanna talk to her, she's hot as hell)
He licked his lips, said to me
Girl you look good enough to eat
Put his arms around me
Said "Boy now get your paws right off me"
I asked my girlfriend if she'd seen you round before
She mumbled something while we got down on the floor baby
We might've fucked not really sure, don't quite recall, oh yeah
But something tells me that I've seen him, yeah
He's a monster m-m-m-monster
That boy is a monster m-m-m-monster
That boy is a monster m-m-m-monster
That boy is a monster er-er-er-er
He ate my heart (I love that girl)
He ate my heart (wanna talk to her, she's hot as hell)
He ate my heart (I love that girl)
He ate my heart (wanna talk to her, she's hot as hell)
He ate my heart he ate my heart instead he's a monster in my bed
He ate my heart he ate my heart instead he's a monster in my bed
I wanna just dance but he took me home instead
Uh oh! There was a monster in my bed
We french kissed on a subway train
He tore my clothes right off
He ate my heart and then he ate my brain
Uh oh uh oh (I love that girl) (wanna talk to her, she's hot as hell)
He ate my heart he a-a-a-ate my heart
He ate my heart (wanna talk to her, she's hot as hell)

In the song โMonster,โ Lady Gaga sings about a boy who is a monster, with whom she has some kind of tumultuous relationship. The song begins with Gaga warning the listener, โDonโt call me Gagaโ and โDonโt look at me like that,โ indicating that there may be danger lurking in this tale. Gaga describes the boy as a wolf in disguise, yet unable to resist his evil eyes. She also makes reference to a girlfriend who may have already had an encounter with the monster. Later in the song, Gaga describes being seduced by the monster, who licks his lips and tells her she is good enough to eat. He takes her home and they engage in sexual activity, with the final lines implying that he has literally eaten her heart and her brain.
The lyrics of โMonsterโ suggest that the monster in question is not a literal creature, but rather a metaphor for a lover who is capable of causing emotional harm. Gagaโs language and imagery are intentionally sensational and provocative, likely to represent the intensity of the passion between the two characters. However, the repeated refrain of โThat boy is a monsterโ suggests that the relationship has become toxic and destructive.
