Skrillex ft. Noisia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a coward too
You don't need to hide, my friend
For I'm just like you
Yes, oh my god
Look at this
You don't need to hide, my friend
For I'm just like you
Yes, oh my god
The opening verse of Skrillex's "Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites" as covered by Bear Cavalry appears to be an introspective and intimate moment of vulnerability shared by two individuals who relate to one another as "cowards." The singer acknowledges that they too are a coward like their friend, and that there's no need to hide from one another. It's a somewhat somber note to start on, with the understanding that fear and insecurity may be what binds them together.
The repetition of the verse in the song underscores the message of solidarity and understanding between the two characters. The line "Yes, oh my god" feels almost like a prayer or a moment of revelation - as if the acknowledgement of their shared cowardice is a significant part of their emotional healing. The lyrics could be interpreted as a poignant invitation to drop one's guard and connect with others who may be struggling with similar feelings of fear or inadequacy.
