| Blondie – My Monster Lyrics
| 9 months ago

|
I love this song! I often wonder what it means and where the idea for it came from. To me it seems sort of regretful "my god, there goes my monster" Or maybe it's more of a realization of the consequences of a mistake; actions leading to the creation of a "monster". "Human beings are stupid things when we're young/scared stiff straight, all wooze and shake" maybe mistakes of youth or making bad decisions because of fear? "Foolish games and fire drills" also seems to refer to kids. It also feels like a warning: "run, it's come, gone, it got to you" (not 100% sure on the lyrics there) and lines like"you should wait" seem like...trying to protect or advise someone? But other lyrics, like "ghouls and saints, and phantoms, what are we afraid of/new fixates on human states/take off" (still not clear on the exact words) don't seem related in any way that I see. I do love this song and Blondie though! |

Blondie has used the phrase fade away and radiate in other songs too, like Dreaming "Dream, dream, filling up an idle hour/(fade away, radiate)" and I remember another lyric although I can't remember what song it's from "When the last rain fades, we can still radiate" |

I love this song! I don't really know what it's about but honestly, this one doesn't really need a meaning for me. Not sure that I love Debbie rapping tho... |

@[Reint:53252] it feels to me like it's from a woman's perspective but that's probably because Debbie Harry is singing it |

| Blondie – Shayla Lyrics
| 9 months ago
|
I think it's about a girl who isn't very happy with her job and her life, so she decides to leave. ("Shayla turned to run away/leave in peace and end her stay/years of fear were in her way/lost in space and down she goes") But then something happens, maybe depression or grief, and she dies. It feels to me like it's a tragic accident nobody knows the cause of or she committed suicide. ("Cars on the freeway/bright lights and thunder")
It's such a beautiful song. "bright lights and thunder" really stands out to me, as well as "I'm free, but life is so cheap" |
