Monsters
Mad Marge and the Stonecutters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who all those had been killed in glory.
All I know is what I see
Is what I thought was make believe.
All I know is when I get home
Monsters hiding under the bed.
Glowing in the dark
Monsters hiding under the bed.
Hiding under the bed.
Creeping and sneaking
this is true believing.
I'm nervous. I'm shaking.
What was I thinking?
All I know is when I get home
Monsters hiding under the bed.
Glowing in the dark
You're breaking my heart.
Monsters hiding under the bed.
Hiding under the bed.
All I know is when I get home
Monsters hiding under the bed.
Glowing in the dark
You're breaking my heart.
Monsters hiding under the bed.
Hiding under the bed.
Deceive. I must believe
What I thought was make believe.
I'm running. There coming.
I see them chasing after me.
All I know is when I get home
Monsters hiding under the bed.
Glowing in the dark
You're breaking my heart.
Monsters hiding under the bed.
Hiding under the bed.
Monster. Whoa Monsters.
Monster. Whoa Monsters.
All I know is when I get home
Monsters hiding under the bed.
Glowing in the dark
You're breaking my heart.
Monsters hiding under the bed.
Hiding under the bed.
These lyrics are about an overpowering fear of the dark and the imaginary monsters that lurk in the shadows. The first verse describes the dangerous faces of a thousand swords, symbolizing the countless battles and wars that have been fought for glory. The singer admits that all they know is what they see, and what they thought was make believe. This suggests that they are struggling to discern reality from imagination.
The chorus reveals that the singer is afraid of returning home because of the monsters that they believe are hiding under their bed. The monsters are described as glowing in the dark, which could indicate a childish fear of unknown things made worse by a dark environment. The repetition of the refrain emphasizes the intensity of the fear and the all-consuming nature of the irrational phobia.
