Of Monsters and Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm tired and I think I want to go home
So let's go and get started
Do you hear me calling, crying out
When I run up to the house
Catch me if you think you can
Oh, what a shame because I know
Oh, what a shame that I row
To the edges so that I can fall off
No one's to blame but I know
With open arms that I could keep you close
Oh, what a shame that I row
To the edges so that I can fall off
I could be centered and in place
In a field full of poppies I could dream you all away
But I know that I've got to get running
Do you hear that roaring, pulsing sound
When I run up to the house
You can follow if you dare
Oh, what a shame because I know
With open arms then I could hold it all
Oh, what a shame that I row
To the edges so that I can fall off
No one's to blame and I know it
With open arms then I could keep you close
Oh, what a shame that I row
To the edges so that I can fall off
But I'm not
But I'm not ready for this
But I'm not
No I'm not ready for this
Do you want it?
Do you want it to be true?
But I'm not
No I'm not ready for this (oh what a shame)
Do you need it?
Do you need it to be true?
But I'm not
No I'm not ready for this (oh what a shame)
Do you want it?
Do you want it to be true?
But I'm not
No I'm not ready for this (oh what a shame)
Do you need it?
Do you need it to be true?
But I'm not
No I'm not ready for this

The singer is questioning whether they are ready to face their fears and become the person they know they can be. The repeated line "oh what a shame" emphasizes the regret and sadness that can come from feeling stuck in one's own limitations.

Line by Line Meaning
I am up with the sunrise
I woke up very early in the morning
I'm tired and I think I want to go home
I am exhausted and I desire to return to where I feel comfortable
So let's go and get started
We need to commence our plan of action
Do you hear me calling, crying out
I'm shouting for attention and assistance
When I run up to the house
When I approach the house at a fast pace
Catch me if you think you can
Try to stop me or keep up with me
Oh, what a shame because I know
It's a disappointment because I realize
With open arms then I could hold it all
If only I had accepted everything, I could have had it all
Oh, what a shame that I row
It's a pity that I steer
To the edges so that I can fall off
I move toward the limits and expose myself to danger
No one's to blame but I know
Nobody is responsible, but I understand
With open arms that I could keep you close
If I had welcomed you, I could have kept you near
But I'm not ready for this
I am unprepared for this situation
Do you want it?
Do you desire it?
Do you need it?
Do you require it?
