Monsters

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See her drowning in her lies
But I'm not sure what to do
'Cause the monsters, they've taken over you
It's the monsters
It's the monsters
It's the monsters
They took our friendship too
'Cause I'm starting to think that the mosters
Are falling for you
And if you're willing to fight I'll gladly too
If the mosters fill your head
I'll fight them off until they're dead
I catch the bus alone sometimes
And it's getting harder each time
'Cause I'm hoping you'll be there
At the stop across the park
Like you care
But I know it'a not your fault
'Cause you
Have been taken over
By the monsters
By the monsters
By the monsters
They took our friendship too
'Cause I'm starting to think that the mosters
Are falling for you
And if you're willing to fight I'll gladly too
If the mosters fill your head
I'll fight them off until they're dead
It's taken all of my strength
It's driving me right 'round the bend
And I don't know if it's all pretend
Pretend
'Cause I'm starting to think that the mosters
Are falling for you
But if you're willing to fight I'll gladly too
'Cause I'm starting to think that the mosters
Are falling for you
But if you're willing to fight I'll gladly too
If the mosters fill your head
I'll fight them off until they're dead
But if the mosters give you a fright
I'll be there darling, to turn on the light
The song "Monsters" by Sydnee Carter revolves around the idea of someone dealing with a friend who has become a different person because of the presence of negative thoughts or problems. The singer can see the changes in the eyes and behavior of the friend, but they are unable to help them because they are now consumed by the monsters. The lyrics convey the pain of losing a friendship due to the problems that the friend is going through, and the helplessness that one feels in trying to support someone who is going through such a difficult phase.
The phrase "They took our friendship too" suggests that the singer and their friend were once close, but now the monsters have taken over, and the friendship has changed drastically. Despite this, the singer is still willing to support their friend through the difficult times if they express their willingness to fight back. The line "If the monsters fill your head, I'll fight them off until they're dead" emphasizes the idea that the singer is willing to be there for their friend and help them overcome the negative thoughts.
The song could be interpreted as a commentary on mental health issues and how they can often affect relationships. The monsters mentioned in the song can be seen as a metaphor for depression, anxiety, or any other dark and negative thoughts that can cloud a person's mind. The song emphasizes the importance of talking about one's problems and seeking help in overcoming them.
