Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is tearing, who I wanna be
I know someday I take control,
Erasing, this Monster,
That makes me feel (how(?),
And it is coming for you
Now you should hiding,
And I am in your Dreams,
Taking your Screams,
I am the Monster
This Monster is inside of you,
To thing it want just me, would make you such a Fool,
This Monster, is in all of us,
Its what, makes us fall
Now you should hiding,
I am the Monster,
And I am in your Dreams
Taking your Screams,
I am the Monster
(Now you should hiding,
they're all, coming for you)
(Your Beast is coming for you)
Now you should hiding,
We are the Monsters,
And We are in your Dreams,
Taking your Screams,
We are the Monsters

LOL no...? I'm glad you commented because I forgot the name of this so I couldn't come back and re-listen to how bad it is!
Okay in serious though, the lyrics are awful and need a tonne of work. The music itself is pretty good but very generic and uninspired with not much variation within the formula. The vocals do shine at parts though and really fall flat at others. The chorus stands out as the best part but does suffer quite a bit with some of the bad vocals. Overall, the band has potential but they have a lot of work to do to improve. If they stick at it and work really hard they could become great.
There we go some constructive criticism for them. Was that better for you?
