Monsters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes my blood moves too slow
And the monsters in the clouds I swear they know
As the sandstorm whips in from the West
I try so hard to look my best
Forever staring at the sand and sea




Overall Meaning

The song "Piano" by Monsters is a contemplative and introspective piece that reflects on the singer's struggle with their own anxieties and inner demons. The opening line, "Sometimes my blood moves too slow," suggests a sense of stagnation or inertia, as if the singer is stuck in their own thoughts and unable to find a way forward. This feeling is compounded by the presence of the "monsters in the clouds," which represent the singer's fears and uncertainties looming over them.


As the sandstorm approaches, the singer tries to put on a brave face and present their best self to the world, even as they feel like they are being battered by forces beyond their control. The reference to the sand and sea reinforces the sense of being caught in the midst of a hostile and unpredictable environment, with the singer constantly struggling to gain a foothold and find their footing.


Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes my blood moves too slow
At times, I feel sluggish and unenergetic.


And the monsters in the clouds I swear they know
I am afraid that the ominous clouds know my deepest fears.


As the sandstorm whips in from the West
A sandstorm rages towards me from the west, causing chaos and destruction.


I try so hard to look my best
Even in difficult times, I strive to maintain my composure and appearance.


Forever staring at the sand and sea
I find myself gazing endlessly at the sand and sea, lost in thought and contemplation.

Oh, before they turn off all the lights
I won't read you your wrongs or your rights
The time has gone

I'll tell you goodnight, close the door
Tell you I love you once more
The time has gone
So here it is

I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine

And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, Daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away

Oh, well I'll read a story to you
Only difference is this one is true
The time has gone

I folded your clothes on the chair
I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
The time has gone
So here it is

I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine

And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, Daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away

Sleep a lifetime
Yes, and breathe a last word
You can feel my hand on your arm
I will be the last one
So I'll leave a light on
Let there be no darkness in your heart

But I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine

And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, Daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away

The time has gone
I'll tell you goodnight, close the door
Tell you I love you once more
The time has gone
So here it is
I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
Oh, well, I'll read a story to you
Only difference is this one is true
The time has gone
I folded your clothes on the chair
I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
The time has gone
So here it is

Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
Sleep a lifetime
Yes, and breathe a last word
You can feel my hand on your own
I will be the last one
So I'll leave a light on
Let there be no darkness, in your heart
But I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
