Creature
the chasing monster Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We can't be together, forever, I know
It would be beautiful but you're too scared to get used to it
One day you'll be alone
It's too hard to accept. Too sad to bear, because
The happiness of tomorrow daydreams to forget the unhappiness of today
And when this moment arrives,
It's hard to gather the strengh to start over on your own
I would have rather been this way from the start
For being forgotten, is worst than dying
If I were the sky and you were the earth, divided by nature
I would let the rain fall on you so
That it could keep us close, eternally
I would let every single drop echo the sound of our words
I would let the rain fall relentless
But the only thing soaking the earth, are my tears
And if I keep crying it means that my body surrendered to my heart
There is nothing left to do
Nothing that could keep you close




Nothing could ever make me live through that thing we called love
The one thing I can do, is try to say goodbye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Creature" by The Chasing Monster are a reflection of the painful realization of a love that cannot survive. The singer acknowledges that as much as they would like to stay together forever, it is an impossible dream because the other person is too afraid of commitment. The fear of being used to the love and then being left alone is too much to bear for the other person. The singer knows that one day, they will have to be alone without the other person, and it is a difficult thought to accept because the happiness of the future cannot erase the pain of today. When the moment of separation arrives, it becomes hard for either of them to start over alone.


The singer then compares their relationship to the earth and the sky, symbolic of how they are divided by nature. If they were the sky and the earth, the rain would fall to keep them eternally close. But the only thing soaking the earth now are the singer's tears. They have reached a point where saying goodbye is the only thing left to do because nothing could keep them close anymore. The decision is to try and forget the love they shared and move on.


The song reflects a theme of heartbreak and unrequited love. The lyrics are emotionally charged and hit close to home for those who have experienced the pain of a relationship that could not survive. It is a reminder that sometimes, love is not enough to keep two people together. The song also highlights the importance of accepting the reality of a situation and acknowledging the pain that comes with it.

We can't be together, forever, I know
I understand that we can't stay together forever


It would be beautiful but you're too scared to get used to it
Being together would be wonderful, but you're afraid of becoming accustomed to it


One day you'll be alone
Eventually, you'll be by yourself


It's too hard to accept. Too sad to bear, because
It's unbearable and terrible to acknowledge the truth


The happiness of tomorrow daydreams to forget the unhappiness of today
We hope that tomorrow's happiness will make us forget today's despair


And when this moment arrives,
When this moment happens,


It's hard to gather the strength to start over on your own
It's difficult to muster the energy to begin anew alone


I would have rather been this way from the start
I wish we could have started off this way


For being forgotten, is worst than dying
Being forgotten is a fate worse than death


If I were the sky and you were the earth, divided by nature
If I were the sky and you were the earth, and we were separated by nature


I would let the rain fall on you so
I would allow the rain to fall on you


That it could keep us close, eternally
So that we could remain together forever


I would let every single drop echo the sound of our words
Every raindrop would represent our shared language


I would let the rain fall relentless
The rain would fall incessantly


But the only thing soaking the earth, are my tears
However, the only thing that is wetting the ground is my tears


And if I keep crying it means that my body surrendered to my heart
If I continue to cry, it indicates that my body has succumbed to my emotions


There is nothing left to do
There is nothing else to be done


Nothing that could keep you close
No action can retain your proximity


Nothing could ever make me live through that thing we called love
I refuse to endure the experience we refer to as love


The one thing I can do, is try to say goodbye
All that remains is for me to attempt to bid farewell

We can’t be together, forever, I know,
It would be beautiful but you’re too scared to get used to it.
One day you’ll be alone.
It’s too hard to accept. Too sad to bear, because,
The happiness of tomorrow daydreams to forget the unhappiness of today
And when this moment arrives, it’s hard to gather the strengh to start over on your own.
I would have rather been this way from the start,
For being forgotten, is worst than dying.
If I were the sky and you were the earth, divided by nature
I would let the rain fall on you so that it could keep us close, eternally.
I would let every single drop echo the sound of our words,
I would let the rain fall relentless.
But the only thing soaking the earth, are my tears
And if I keep crying it means that my body surrendered to my heart.
There is nothing left to do,
Nothing that could keep you close,
Nothing could ever make me live through that thing we called love.
The one thing I can do, is try to say goodbye.
