Monster Like Me
Embracing Imperfections: Unveiling the Monster Within
Lyrics
I finally learned my lesson
I have learned an important lesson.
It only took this long
It took a considerable amount of time.
For me to open up
I am now willing to be open and honest with you.
To you
This refers to the listener or someone the speaker is addressing.
And share my imperfections
I am revealing my flaws and weaknesses.
The chaos you can't see
There is inner turmoil and disorder not easily visible.
That's lurking underneath
This hidden chaos is present beneath the surface.
Won't waste another moment
I won't waste any more time.
Letting these things go unspoken
I won't keep important things unsaid.
I've found a new way of coping
I've discovered a new way to deal with challenges.
Now that everything is out in the open
Everything is now disclosed and transparent.
All the shadows that go creeping
References the dark aspects of one's thoughts.
Through your mind each time you sleep
These shadows appear in your mind during sleep.
Are the same ones that I see
The speaker and the listener share similar fears and struggles.
You're a monster just like me
The listener is described as a monster, akin to the speaker.
You're my new obsession
The listener becomes the speaker's new fixation.
With scales running down your spine
Physical characteristics of the listener are described metaphorically.
Your veins run black like mine
The speaker and the listener share a dark nature.
And now they wanna hate us
Others disapprove, possibly due to their shared darkness.
This is how they made us
Their monstrous nature is a result of external influences.
They won't ever break us (break us)
Despite challenges, they won't be broken.
Won't waste another moment
Reiteration of not leaving important things unspoken.
Letting these things go unspoken
The speaker has found a new way to handle difficulties.
I've found a new way of coping
Similar to line 11, emphasizing openness.
Now that everything is out in the open
Reiteration of everything being out in the open.
All the shadows that go creeping
Repetition of the presence of shadows in the mind.
Through your mind each time you sleep
Reiteration of shadows during sleep.
Are the same ones that I see
Reiteration that the speaker and the listener share similar fears.
You're a monster just like me
Reiteration that the listener is a monster like the speaker.
Monster just like me
Repetition emphasizing the listener's monstrous nature.
Monster just like me
-Monster just like me
-Monster just like me
-Won't waste another moment
Reiteration of not leaving important things unsaid and coping openly.
Letting these things go unspoken

-Monster just like me (you're a monster just like me)
