The Monster
Megan Davies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
So wake me up when it's all over
(Get along with the voices)
When I'm wiser and I'm older
(You're trying to save me)
All this time I was finding myself and I
Didn't know I was lost
No, I ain't much of a poet but I know somebody once told me
To seize the moment and don't squander it
She never know when it all could be over tomorrow
So I keep conjuring, sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
My ocd is conking me in the head
Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking
I'm just relaying what the voice in my head's saying
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
(Monster that's under my bed)
So wake me up when it's all over
(Get along with the voices inside of my head)
When I'm wiser and I'm older
(You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath)
All this time I was finding myself and I
(And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy)
Didn't know I was lost
Well, that's nothing
I didn't know I was lost, I didn't know I was lost
(I'm friends with the monster)
Didn't know I was lost
(I'm friends with the monster)
I didn't know I was lost, I didn't know I was lost
I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothing
Didn't know I was lost
Well, that's nothing
I didn't know I was lost
Well, that's nothing
I didn't know I was lost
Didn't know I was lost
The song "The Monster Wake Me Up" by Megan Davies is a deeply introspective and emotional song about a person who feels lost and is trying to find their way in life. The first verse suggests that the person knows the general direction they should be heading towards and has a beating heart guiding them through the darkness. However, they also admit that they do not know the exact end point of their journey. This feeling of being lost is further emphasized in the chorus where the person wants to be awakened when everything is over and they are wiser and older. They confess that they did not know they were lost and were finding themselves during this time.
The second verse focuses on the voice inside the singer's head. The voice seems to be causing confusion and is partially responsible for the feelings of being lost. The person is aware that they are friends with the monster that lives under the bed, and though they know it may seem crazy, they are not willing to let it go. Despite being aware of the magnitude of their thoughts, they ultimately accept them as a part of themselves that cannot be ignored.
Overall, the song seems to be about self-discovery and acceptance. The singer is willing to embrace all aspects of themselves, including the confusing and darker thoughts. This acceptance seems to be necessary for the person to find their way and direction in life.
