Gnarls Barkley – The Boogie Monster Lyrics 19 years ago
I don't reply often but i find this song to be very interesting. At face value you have a pretty standard song that's a little goofy and creepy but, at least to me, it has a pretty strong message. The monster in the closet represents the secrets and pitfalls of a persons life. The song progresses from the initial overwhelming nature of the secrets, then to acknowledgement of them -

"at first i was scared when i looked in his eyes
but now that i know him, im not that surprised"

In a sense he is inferring that you have to face your demons and that's the only way you will be able to get rid of the monsters in your closet.
