Monsters
Stone Angus Lyrics

Billy was a train, driving man
Billy was always on the move, like a train conductor, driving himself from one place to another.

He went from one side to the other side of town
He was constantly traveling around, covering lots of distance and exploring different parts of town.

He went to bed with the light
He had trouble sleeping and always left the lights on, indicating a fear of the dark or some unknown danger lurking in the shadows.

Ride on
Keep moving forward and never stop, like Billy did.

He found his struggle with the wind
Billy faced many obstacles and challenges that seemed out of his control, like trying to fight against the wind.

Something we never, came to understand
Despite trying to figure out what was troubling him, we could never fully comprehend the depths of Billy's struggles.

He felt lost, in the dark
Billy often felt confused and uncertain, especially when facing situations that were beyond his control, like being in the dark.

Even when there was someone, he felt apart
Although he was surrounded by people, Billy still felt disconnected and alone, unable to fully connect with those around him.

Alone
A prevalent theme throughout the song, representing Billy's isolation and the loneliness of the monsters he encounters.

Cause in the, dark
The darkness symbolizes the unknown, the fear and uncertainty that can lead to feelings of despair and loneliness.

There's monsters, they cry alone
Like Billy, there are others who are struggling and suffering, facing their own unique monsters and shedding tears in their solitude.

They're waiting
The monsters are always present, waiting for someone to come help and offer support and companionship.

For you to come along, and play
The monsters are waiting for someone to interact with them, to help them forget about their troubles and enjoy life despite their fears and worries.

He made his way to the liquor store
Billy sought solace in alcohol, hoping to drown out his fears and anxieties, but it only exacerbated them in the end.

Couldn't help but notice, the man at the door
Billy was often acutely aware of his surroundings and those around him, constantly on the lookout for potential threats or allies.

Yeah he did, he caught his eye
Billy felt a connection or sense of empathy with the man at the door, recognizing perhaps some shared experiences or emotions.

He said sir, please a nickel, before I die
The man at the door was in a similar state of desperation and hopelessness as Billy, seeking help and desperate for any small assistance.

Cause were monsters at heart
All people have their own inner demons and struggles, prone to feelings of despair and loneliness, even if we don't fully realize it ourselves.

At heart, at heart
Our true natures or deepest feelings are often hidden beneath the surface, sometimes even from ourselves, but they still influence our behavior and thoughts.

There's monsters, in their hearts
Just as there are external monsters or obstacles, there are internal ones too, like our own doubts, fears, and insecurities, that can be just as devastating.

For you to come along and play
The monsters and struggles we face are not meant to be faced alone, and can be easier to cope with if we have someone to share them with and offer comfort and support.

And play
To have fun and enjoy life, despite the troubles and hardships we may face, even if it's just for a brief moment.
