Monster
Confronting Inner Monsters: Spyderland's Haunting Reflections
Lyrics
Run and hide
Feeling the need to escape or avoid something
Run and hide
Reiteration of the desire to escape or avoid
There's monsters outside
Awareness of threatening entities in the external environment
There's monsters outside
Reaffirmation of the presence of external threats
Close your eyes
Suggesting shutting off from reality
Dark places find
Seeking solace in dark or hidden places
Ghosts that upset you
Mention of haunting memories or experiences
You wish they'd forget you
Desiring to be forgotten by unsettling memories
Oh Oh
An expression of emotional distress or realization
Locked inside
Feeling confined or restricted
A shoebox compiled
Metaphorically trapped with a collection of memories or possessions
Of things that
Introduction of personal belongings
You cling to
Emotional attachment to possessions
Just matter
Highlighting the material nature of possessions
Same as you
Emphasizing the commonality of being material
Dysfunction and staring
Reference to dysfunction and intense observation
Paranoia
Expression of heightened anxiety and fear
It varies
Noting the variability of mental states
Sleep cycles
Reference to disrupted sleep patterns
Uncanny
Describing something strange or unsettling
Grim future
Anticipation of a negative future
Cascading
Describing a continuous and overwhelming downfall
This is where we go insane
Entering a state of mental instability or chaos
Look at the roles we used to play
Reflecting on past roles and identities
Beliefs and conditions
Examining personal beliefs and circumstances
A garden of mold
Metaphorically depicting a deteriorating environment
Too hard to change
Expressing difficulty in making necessary changes
We've already grown
Acknowledging personal growth or change
Oh
Expression of emotional distress or realization
Oh
Repetition for emphasis or emotional impact
Run and hide
Reiteration of the need to escape or avoid
Run and hide
Continued expression of the desire to escape
There's monsters outside
Awareness of external threats persisting
There's monsters outside
Reaffirmation of the presence of external threats
