Girl, what's come between you and me?
Look right through me
I won't let it go
I can't help this feeling anymore
I will go anywhere
Maybe you'll see

We are
We are the shaken (shaken)
We are the monsters (monsters)
Underneath your bed
Yeah
Believe what you read
We are
We are mistaken (staken)
We are the voices (voices)
Inside your head
Yeah
Believe what you see

It came as no surprise
You bring me back to life
Believe me
"You bleed for me, I'll bleed for you"
I caught you walking through walls
Drowned with applause
From the world that makes me crazy

We are
We are the shaken (shaken)
We are the monsters (monsters)
Underneath your bed
Yeah
Believe what you read
We are
We are mistaken (staken)
We are the voices (voices)
Inside your head

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Matchbook Romance's song "Monsters" describe the internal struggles and conflicts that the singer is facing with the person they love. The song's opening lines create a sense of distance between the two, as the singer asks "Girl, what's come between you and me" and notes that she seems to "look right through" him. Despite this, he can't let go of his feelings and is willing to go anywhere, hoping that she will see the same sense of connection between them.


The chorus then takes on a darker tone, with the repeated assertion that "We are the monsters underneath your bed" and "We are the voices inside your head." This could be interpreted as the singer's acknowledgement and admission that they have their own flaws and baggage, fears and anxieties, and are not entirely sure of themselves or the relationship. These personal "monsters" and "voices" may be affecting the connection with the other person and causing doubt and mistrust.


However, the bridge of the song offers a glimmer of hope and trust, with the lines "You bleed for me, I'll bleed for you" suggesting a reciprocation of emotional vulnerability and support. The singer acknowledges that the world can be "crazy" and overwhelming, and that they rely on one another to make it through. Overall, "Monsters" is a powerful and introspective exploration of the complexity and delicacy of relationships, and the demons and doubts that can lurk beneath the surface.

Lol the quality astonishes me. Didn’t knew 1080p videos were capable in 2006 as I saw the rise of them in 2009.

The guitar solo in this song is one of my favorite pieces of music I've ever heard and I'm not sure why. It's just so perfect.
