Monster
Embracing Otherness: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Emily Amber's 'Monster'
Lyrics
Creep creep creep creepin'
Expressing a subtle, sneaky movement or presence.
Up down the streets when
Navigating the streets in a specific direction.
You know there's nothing to do
Feeling bored or without purpose.
You're far too old for candy you're told
Being too mature for traditional Halloween activities.
No trick trick trick treatin' for you
Unable to engage in typical Halloween festivities.
No ghosts nor goblins are very frightening
Recognizing that supernatural elements are not genuinely scary.
When you know it's all a disguise
Understanding that appearances can be deceiving.
Witches don't scare you, werwolves beware you
Remaining unaffected by mythical fears.
Cause you see the truth in their eyes
Seeing the truth and reality behind frightening images.
Ooh ooh you cry to the moon
Expressing sadness or frustration to the moon.
It's not your fault they don't get you
Feeling misunderstood by others.
Ooh ooh it's no fun being new
Highlighting the challenges of being different or new.
Cause you're just a monster too
Embracing the identity of being a 'monster.'
Cry cry cry cryin'
Conveying emotional distress through crying.
Cause you miss the times when
Nostalgia for past times and connections.
You knew your circle of friends
Feeling out of place in the current social circle.
Now you're on a square road with square pegs and square holes
Being different in a conformist environment.
And you're round round round rounder than them
Emphasizing uniqueness in comparison to others.
The new shacks real cozy, the old smell is homey
Describing the comfort of familiar surroundings.
The spiders make good company
Finding solace in unconventional companionship.
But you threw a party and told everybody
Sharing personal joy but facing loneliness.
Now you'll eat for twenty alone
Experiencing isolation after revealing oneself.
Ooh ooh you cry to the moon
Expressing sadness or frustration to the moon (repeated).
It's not your fault they don't get you
Reiterating the feeling of being misunderstood.
Ooh ooh it's no fun being new
Reiterating the challenges of being new or different.
Cause you're just a monster too
Affirming the acceptance of being a 'monster.'
Why can't we all
Pleading for unity and understanding among people.
Why can't we all
Repeating the call for harmony and cooperation.
Why can't we all get along
Questioning the inability for people to coexist peacefully.
Why can't we all
Repeating the plea for unity.
Why can't we all
Reiterating the desire for people to get along.
Why can't we all get along
Questioning the ongoing discord among people.
Ooh ooh you cry to the moon
Expressing sadness or frustration to the moon (repeated).
It's not your fault they don't get you
Reiterating the feeling of being misunderstood.
Ooh ooh it's no fun being new
Reiterating the challenges of being new or different.
Cause you're just a monster too
Affirming the acceptance of being a 'monster.'
You're just a monster too
Concluding that everyone is, in some way, a 'monster.'
You're just a monster too
Reiterating the idea that everyone has a 'monster' within.
