Monster Lead Me Home
sara hartman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spin around, round, round me
Collide without a sound
Caught up in your gravity
I don't know how
Run away, way, way from me
The spirit only I can see
I need you now 'cause I don't know how
I don't know what, what

I was afraid of, I was afraid oooof...

Monster take me somewhere
Where I can save my breath in the air
We walk in shadow
Monster lead me home
Where there is no place to hide
Stranger on the other side
We walk in shadow

Monster lead me home

Monster lead me home

oh, ooh, ooh

oh, ooh, ooh
oh, ooh, ooh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
mmh... mmh... mmh... mmh

Now you surround, round, round me
Didn't think I could be found
Before we tear through the streets
Don't test the ground

A long way, way, way from comfort
Keep our back to the cold
I need you now 'cause I don't know how
I don't know what, what

I was afraid of, I was afraid oooof,
Monster take me somewhere
Where I can save my breath in the air
We walk in shadow
Monster lead me home

Where there is no place to hide
Stranger on the other side
We walk in shadow
Monster lead me home
Monster lead me home
ooh, ooh, ooh
oh, ooh, ooh
oh, ooh, ooh
oh, oh, oh, oh
...guiter plays...
ooh, ooh, ooh
oh, ooh, ooh
oh, ooh, ooh
oooow
Monster take me somewhere
Where I can save my breath in the air
We walk in shadow
Monster lead me home
Where there is no place to hide
Stranger on the other side
We walk in shadow
Monster lead me home
Monster lead me home

Overall Meaning

The song "Sara Hartman" is a slow-building, hypnotic track that blends together elements of pop and indie rock. The lyrics are somewhat ambiguous but seem to be about a person trying to escape their fears and the trials of daily life by following a mysterious and alluring character referred to as a "monster." The lines "caught up in your gravity, I don't know how" suggest a sense of being swept along by something greater than oneself, while the repeated refrain "monster lead me home" adds to the sense of seeking refuge and guidance.


The chorus builds up to a high-energy release, with the repeated plea "monster take me somewhere where I can save my breath in the air" conveying a sense of desperation and longing for a place of safety and escape. The verses, on the other hand, are more subdued and introspective, with the singer grappling with their own doubts and fears. Overall, the song has an elegiac quality to it, as if the singer knows that their journey with the "monster" will eventually come to an end but cannot resist the allure of the unknown.
