Monsters
Saara Aalto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Felt so numb, but now I'm ready to feel it
So tonight I'm making friends
With all the creatures that are hiding there under my bed
I ain't gonna hold on to these monsters anymore
Now I'm gonna let in all the light, tear down the walls
All the demons are gone
You can try and scare me now, but I ain't scared no more
(I ain't scared no more)
(I ain't, I ain't, I ain't scared no more)
It's my life, I'm ready to lead it
I'm gonna roll the dice, you better believe it
So tonight I'm making friends
With all the creatures that are hiding there under my bed
I ain't gonna hold on to these monsters anymore
Now I'm gonna let in all the light, tear down the walls
At my worst I found my army strong
All the demons are gone
You can try and scare me now, but I ain't scared no more
(I ain't, I ain't, I ain't scared no more)
(I ain't scared no more)
No, no, I ain't scared, I ain't scared
I ain't gonna hold on to these monsters anymore
Now I'm gonna let in all the light, tear down the walls
At my worst I found my army strong
All the demons are gone
You can try and scare me now, but I ain't scared no more
(I ain't, I ain't, I ain't scared no more) I ain't scared no more
(I ain't, I ain't, I ain't scared no more)
(I ain't, I ain't, I ain't scared) no more
"Monsters" is a song by Finnish singer Saara Aalto. The song is about facing and conquering one's fears. The first verse sets the tone for the entire song - she has closed her eyes, so she can't see what's happening, but she's now ready to face it. Saara is asserting that she's not going to let her fears and anxieties rule her life anymore. The chorus details her determination to break down walls and take control of her life by letting in light, and by embracing the creatures lurking beneath her bed (which could symbolize the things that frighten her the most).
The second verse and the outro repeat the message of the first. Saara wants to take charge of her life and is determined not to live in fear any longer. She is resilient and confident that she can overcome any obstacle she faces. The song encourages listeners to face their own fears and take control of their lives.

@lian9184
It’s 2020, and it’s still one of my favorites songs. Can someone tell me why this is so underrated?
@paccaleo
I don't know... this was a top 10 sure before the show, the stage was fantastic, her voice was perfect... she deserved to be in top ten instead of Sweden or Denmark in my opinion...
@flaviopastor8951
I also want to know. This song is heavy rotated in ESC Radio!
@user-yu7ru8km4g
@Leo Pacca Agree. Better than Israel or Fuego in my opinion. Germany and Italy should be top 2 with Finland third and Slovenia and Lithuania concluding the top 5.
@omerrasiuk2449
@Βαγγέλης Ταράμπολας im from israel and tbh i agree that this is better than us, i think the most underrated song was bones, my favourite eurovision song of all time
