Monster C.C
The Pillows Lyrics

The lyrics of The Pillows' "Monster C.C" describe the struggles of someone who feels like a monster due to the way they are treated by others. The first stanza talks about the heartless voices that haunt the singer, who is known as the "king of the handbrake" (an allusion to street racing). He cannot sit on a white bench indefinitely because his life is always moving forward. The next line references the "divine power" that the ruling class fears, as they are trapped and want to take it away from the singer.

The second stanza describes the singer's journey home through a storm of applause and insults- he feels like a monster with his strong arms, trying to break through them. He cannot sleep due to the chaos, and longs for the kind of dreams where he can escape reality. Ultimately, the singer wants to be able to sit on a white bench and rest after all his trials and tribulations, without any heartless voices to disturb him.
