We're All Monsters
Monsters Among Us: Unraveling the Web of Blame
Lyrics
Take and twist my words against me now
Feeling attacked as someone distorts and misuses their words against them.
It fills you but leaves me empty, oh
Others may gain satisfaction from the distortion, but it leaves the speaker feeling empty.
So do your worst to call me out
Challenging others to criticize and expose the speaker but doubting they will confront the truth.
But you won't dare to make ends meet
Suggesting that critics won't confront or resolve the issues at hand.
Dumber down 'cause ignorance is bliss
Choosing ignorance because it brings comfort, despite its detrimental effects.
But I let it slip beneath my skin
Allowing negative influences to penetrate their emotions or mindset.
'Cause I thought this would be temporary
Expecting a challenging situation to be temporary but realizing its lasting impact.
But now it makes me shutter
Feeling disturbed or shaken by the situation.
I thought I was far enough from you now
Distance from a troubling individual or situation, yet the impact persists.
Who is to blame for the mess being made
Questioning the responsibility for the current chaotic state.
Look around see that we're all monsters
Observing that everyone is flawed or capable of monstrous actions.
Is it too late, been to blind to see
Considering if it's too late to recognize the faults and their consequences.
Look around see that we're all monsters
Reiterating the idea that everyone possesses monstrous qualities.
Come back down to everything you see
Returning to reality and acknowledging the pain and problems around.
It won't hurt cuz it's buried in so deep
Indicating that the problems are deeply embedded and not easily felt.
Moments like these I look around to see who pulled the trigger
Reflecting on moments of crisis and searching for those responsible.
Well there's nothing left that can be said
Accepting that words or actions have exhausted their impact.
Now there's a tangled web weaving
Describing the complexity of problems through a metaphorical tangled web.
So just look in the mirror
Encouraging introspection by looking at oneself in the mirror.
We all should've known
Expressing a shared realization that everyone should have known about the issues.
Who is to blame for the mess we've made
Repeating the question of accountability for the chaos.
Look around see that we're all monsters
Reiterating the idea that everyone has a monstrous side.
Is it too late, been to blind to see
Questioning whether it's too late to recognize and rectify their flaws.
Look around see that we're all monsters
Emphasizing the universal presence of monstrous qualities.
Outgrow the pain inside my bones
Trying to overcome internal pain and difficulties.
I'm having trouble trying to cope
Struggling to cope with challenges and adversity.
Now I'm learning how to sleep
Learning to find peace and rest despite ongoing difficulties.
Come down, let go
Encouraging a release and letting go of emotional pain.
All the pain that it leaves
Acknowledging the enduring effects of pain.
Who is to blame for the mess we've made
Repeating the question of responsibility for the chaos.
Look around see that we're all monsters
Reiterating the idea that everyone has monstrous qualities.
Is it too late, been to blind to see
Questioning whether it's too late to recognize and rectify their flaws.
Look around see that we're all monsters
Emphasizing the universal presence of monstrous qualities.
