Lyrics
Let me tell you about the monster in the woods
Describing a dangerous entity in the woods.
It’ll tear you apart but it’ll make it look so good
Emphasizing the deceptive allure of the monster despite its harm.
Though you know you should run so far away
Suggesting the instinct to flee, though there's a conflicting desire to stay.
It’s got this aura that convinces you to stay
Highlighting the persuasive nature of the monster's aura.
A grain of sugar in the spoon
Metaphorically referencing a small pleasure amidst danger.
A cup of salt to seal the wound
Using salt to metaphorically represent the pain of the wound.
It’ll lead you where you wanna stay
Indicating the monster's control over one's choices.
Then leave you out to find your grave
Foretelling a grim outcome after being deceived by the monster.
And nothing can stop it from how
Stating the inevitability and relentlessness of the monster's influence.
It’ll make your life burn to the ground
Describing the destructive impact of the monster on one's life.
It’ll shut you up till you’re ok
Conveying the silencing effect of the monster's influence.
With having nothing else to say
Suggesting acceptance of a situation where nothing meaningful can be said.
Listen closely, just be sure that you’re on guard
Advising vigilance and caution in dealing with the monster.
Cause once you’re in, you can leave but won’t get far
Highlighting the difficulty of escaping the influence of the monster.
Only way to get rid of this disease
Describing a radical solution to eliminate the negative influence.
Swallow the flame, turn to ash and you’ll be free
Symbolizing freedom through the metaphor of turning to ash.
A grain of sugar in the spoon
Reiterating the juxtaposition of pleasure and pain.
A cup of salt to seal the wound
Continuing the metaphor of using salt to seal emotional wounds.
It’ll lead you where you wanna stay
Reemphasizing the monster's control over one's choices and destination.
Then leave you out to find your grave
Repeating the ominous outcome of being led to one's grave.
When your world turns upside down
Describing a moment of upheaval and chaos in one's life.
There's no way you can stop it now
Declaring the inevitability of the monster's influence.
Throw your body to the fire
Advising a drastic action to confront the situation head-on.
Bathe in embers of the pyre
Symbolizing a cleansing or transformative process through the pyre.
