Hybrid Moments
Misfits Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you're gonna scream, scream with me
Moments like this never last

When new creatures rape your face
Hybrids opened up the door

Ooh, baby, when you cry
Your face is momentary
You hide your looks behind these scars

In hybrid moments
Give me a moment

Give me a moment
Give me a moment

Ooh, baby, when you cry
Your face is momentary
You hide your looks behind these scars

In hybrid moments
In hybrid moments

In hybrid moments
In hybrid moments





Give me a moment
Give me a moment

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Misfits's song Hybrid Moments convey a sense of desperation and a desire for acceptance. The first line "If you're gonna scream, scream with me" suggests a feeling of shared pain or torment, while the following line "Moments like this never last" hints at a fleeting sense of relief. The second stanza, "When new creatures rape your face, Hybrids opened up the door" is potentially referencing either the idea of feeling overwhelmed or the fear of physical violation. The line "Hybrids opened up the door" may imply the singer finding solace in the fact that they are not completely alone in their suffering.


The chorus repeats twice, with the lyrics "Ooh, baby, when you cry, your face is momentary. You hide your looks behind these scars. In hybrid moments, give me a moment." These lines convey a sense of wanting to console or be consoled by someone who understands their pain, while also acknowledging that their appearance might not reflect their true self. The repetition of "In hybrid moments" suggests that these moments, where the singer feels understood, are few and far between, but deeply appreciated.


Overall, the song Hybrid Moments is an exploration of the duality of appearance versus reality and feeling alone despite being surrounded by others. The singer is searching for a moment of connection and respite in a world that can be overwhelming and isolating.
