Monsters inside my head
I don't know when they'll leave
But they say that they're here to stay
Monsters
I can't keep them in my head
Monsters under my bed
Monsters inside my head
Monsters inside my head
The lyrics of Madison Davenport's song "Monsters" reflect on the internal struggles that one faces with their own insecurities and fears. The line "Monsters under my bed, Monsters inside my head" is a metaphor for the demons that constantly haunt them even when there is arguably nothing that they should be afraid of. The uncertainty of when these fears would leave is what makes them all the more haunting. The song is vulnerable yet relatable to anyone, as everyone experiences their own personal demons.
The repetition of the line "Monsters, I can't keep them in my head" highlights the fact that no matter how hard one tries to suppress these fears, they will always be present. It is a reminder that accepting and acknowledging one's fears is the first step towards overcoming them. The song encourages people to open up and share their struggles instead of suppressing them.
