Monster
Confronting Shadows: Battling the Monster Within
Lyrics
I could stay in the place where I've been
I feel comfortable staying where I currently am
The place that I know
It's a familiar place that I recognize
Where I've memorized every tree, every bump on the road
I know every detail, every feature of this place
But those streets are feeling less and less like home
Despite this, the streets here no longer feel like home
And it's scary but I know
It's frightening, but I understand
I have to go
I must leave
There's a monster in my closet
Metaphorical reference to internal struggles or fears
Whispering in the dark
Anxiety or unsettling thoughts in the dark
Saying everything I've wanted
Doubting if achieving my desires is authentic
Is it really who you are
Questioning the true nature of my desires
There's a monster in my closet
Repetition of the metaphorical monster in the closet
I can try to hide, keep it all inside
Attempting to conceal internal struggles
There's a monster in my closet
Continuation of the metaphorical monster
Always buried in my mind
Internal conflicts persistently on my mind
I thought that I silenced the voices
Believed I had overcome inner voices, but I was wrong
I guess I was wrong
Despite progress, shadows of doubt remain
'Cause I've come all this way
I've made significant progress in my journey
but their shadows are riding along
The past continues to affect me
But those thoughts are feeling less and less like home
Similar to line 4, negative thoughts persist
Made peace that they're with me
Accepted that these thoughts are a part of me
Wherever I go
Regardless of my location, these thoughts accompany me
There's a monster in my closet
Reiteration of the internal struggles metaphor
Whispering in the dark
Internal conflicts persist in challenging moments
Saying everything I've wanted
Revisiting doubts and desires in the dark
Is it really who you are
Questioning the authenticity of personal desires
There's a monster in my closet
Continued reference to internal struggles
I can try to hide, keep it all inside
Attempting to conceal or control internal conflicts
There's a monster in my closet
Repetition of the internal struggles metaphor
Always buried in my mind
Constantly dealing with inner conflicts
Wish i could hide when
Wishing to avoid confronting internal struggles
It's raging inside
The internal struggle intensifies
It comes out at night
The metaphorical monster emerges during the night
There's no disguise
No way to hide or disguise from internal conflicts
And, I feel it rising
The intensity of inner conflicts is increasing
There's a monster in my closet
Repetition of the metaphorical monster in the closet
Whispering in the dark
Internal struggles persist in challenging moments
Sayin' everything I've wanted
Reiterating doubts and desires in the dark
Is it really who you are
Questioning the authenticity of personal desires
There's a monster in my closet
Continued reference to internal struggles
I can try to hide, keep it all inside
Attempting to conceal or control internal conflicts
There's a monster in my closet
Repetition of the internal struggles metaphor
Always buried in my mind
Constantly dealing with inner conflicts
