NME has called Monsters Are Waiting "majestic, Metric-style haunt-rock – monster munching our stereo in the process," and the combination of Annalee Fery's ( now in Lonely Trees ) innocent, floaty voice and Andrew Clark's jangly guitar licks has been called "haunting and authentic" by All Music Guide and "elegant without being polished" by LA Weekly. Monsters Are Waiting is expressive without being idiosyncratic, atmospheric, airy, and ambient, blending indie pop with elements of shoegaze and a little bit of a new wave sound.

Last Goodbye
Monsters Are Waiting Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't sleep tonight
It wasn't they said or what they meant
It was bright, bright
Bright, bright skies
We could have fell, but who's to tell
That you did it right
It was bright, bright
Bright, bright skies
It's hard to admit it x3
Ohhh....
It's hard to admit it x3
Ohhh....
This could be our last goodbye
Hearts are breaking
Don't ask why
This could be....
Carried away
Thoughts of you
I can't sleep tonight
Oh yeah
It wasn't they said or what they meant
It was bright, bright
Bright, bright skies
We could have fell, but who's to tell
That you did it right
Desperately
Left your cause in the dark
In the distance and fell away
Yeah
This could be our last goodbye
Hearts are breaking
Don't ask why
Barely beating one more time
This could be our last goodbye
Our last goodbye
This could be our last goodbye
Hearts are breaking
Don't ask why
Barely beating one more time
This could be our last goodbye
Our last goodbye x2
The song “Last Goodbye” by Monsters Are Waiting describes the feeling of two people who may break up and how they struggle to accept the possibility of it being their last time seeing and being with each other. The singer feels restless and unable to sleep because she cannot bear the thought of losing her loved one. Despite the fact that they both could have fallen apart, it wasn’t the fault of what others had said or meant, but rather their own decisions or mistakes. The refrain of “Bright, bright skies” seems to indicate that the future looks bright and promising, but with the uncertain plight of a potential final goodbye, the future now seems bleak and unknown.
The second verse further expresses the feelings of the singer. She is carried away by thoughts of her loved one and cannot escape from her own doubts and fears about their relationship. She emphasizes that whatever happens between them is not the fault of others, but rather, the fault lies within the two of them. In the end, the chorus repeats the line “This could be our last goodbye” to reinforce the idea that they may never see each other again , and despite their hearts breaking, they may never find out why they had to say goodbye to each other.
