Lyrics
There is a monster beneath my bed
There is a perceived threat or fear represented by a metaphorical "monster" under the speaker's bed.
Following every step I go
The monster is actively following and monitoring the speaker's every move.
Within my dreams, within my soul
The presence of the monster is not only in the physical realm but also within the speaker's dreams and soul.
Within these thoughts, it swallows me whole
The thoughts associated with the monster are overwhelming and consuming the speaker entirely.
There is a monster, yeah, there is a monster
Reiteration of the existence of the menacing "monster."
Lurking in the shadows
The monster is metaphorically "lurking in the shadows," signifying a hidden and ominous presence.
Lurking in the shadows
-You're lurking, yeah you're lurking
Direct address to someone who is lurking, suggesting a sense of being watched or pursued.
In the distance lurking
The lurking presence is emphasized in the distance, creating a sense of separation between the speaker and the entity.
Between me and you
-You're lurking, yeah you're lurking
Reiteration of someone lurking and the looming threat it poses.
There's a monster beneath my bed
Reiteration of the physical location of the monster beneath the bed.
It haunts me
The monster's existence is haunting the speaker, causing distress.
It taunts me
The monster is actively teasing or provoking the speaker.
And yet
A conflicting emotion where the speaker acknowledges the taunting but expresses uncertainty or ambivalence.
Maybe this monster is in my head
The possibility that the monster might be a creation of the speaker's own mind, questioning its reality.
Who created this monster?
Raising questions about the origin and responsibility for the creation of this menacing force.
Who created this monster?

Lurking in the shadows

Addressing the lurking entity again, questioning its purpose or motive.
Is there anyone to blame?
Pondering whether there is someone to blame for the presence of the monster, and questioning if it is fate.
Is this what you call fate?

Between me and you
