This powerful anthem explores the internal battles that many face. The "monsters" are metaphoric representations of personal struggles, fears, or demons that seem insurmountable and relentless. The lyrics convey a sense of despair and isolation, with the protagonist feeling trapped by these inner conflicts. However, there's also an undercurrent of defiance; despite these struggles, the protagonist refuses to surrender completely. The repeated line 'Good for you' adds a bitter twist to the narrative, suggesting that people around him may not understand or empathize with his pain. Ultimately, this song is a raw expression of battling one's inner demons and the loneliness it can bring. 🎭
MONSTERS
Lyrics
Good for you, you fooled everybody
Good for you, you fooled everyone
Good for you, now you're somebody
Good for you, you fooled everyone
Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Don't get angry, don't discourage
Take a shot of liquid courage
'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
And there's no comin' back and they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
And there's no goin' back, if I get trapped I'll never heal
Yeah, my monsters are real
Good for you, you hurt everybody
Good for you, you hurt everyone
Good for you, you love nobody
Good for you, you owe no one
Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Call a doctor, say a prayer
Choose a god you think is fair
'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
And there's no comin' back and they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
And there's no goin' back, if I get trapped I'll never heal
'Cause my monsters are real
Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Don't get angry, don't discourage
Take a shot of liquid courage
Leave the light on if you're able
'Cause we both know you're unstable
Call a doctor, say a prayer
Choose a god you think is fair
'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
And there's no comin' back and they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
And there's no goin' back, if I get trapped I'll never heal
Yeah, my monsters are real
