its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Just like the day that i met you
you didnt say a word
but i still knew
did you really think i wouldnt see?
you were lying straight through your teeth
such a waste of a wonderful day
wrecked and ruined by your slanderious ways
by the games you play, oh by the games you play
it will be the death of me
before i let you get the best of me girl
it will be the death of me
before i let you get the best of me
youre the monster underneath
lost of all faith
feeding off my dreams
where i thought i was safe
just like the day that i met you
you didnt say a word
but i still knew
you were lying straight through your teeth
oh you were lying straight through your teeth
did you think you would prove the whole world wrong?
everythings never enough
baby youre so, well youre just too much
everythings never enough
it will be the death of me
before i let you get the best of me girl
it will be the death of me
before i let you get the best of me
youre the monster underneath
lost of all faith
feeding off my dreams
where i thought i was safe
so shut your mouth
and bite your tongue
because your a liar never foolin anyone
youre the smoke in the air making everyone choke
youre the monster underneath
lost of all faith
feeding off my dreams
where i thought i was safe
so shut your mouth
and bite your tongue
because youre a liar never foolin anyone
you didnt say a word
but i still knew
did you really think i wouldnt see?
you were lying straight through your teeth
such a waste of a wonderful day
wrecked and ruined by your slanderious ways
by the games you play, oh by the games you play
it will be the death of me
before i let you get the best of me girl
it will be the death of me
before i let you get the best of me
youre the monster underneath
lost of all faith
feeding off my dreams
where i thought i was safe
just like the day that i met you
you didnt say a word
but i still knew
you were lying straight through your teeth
oh you were lying straight through your teeth
did you think you would prove the whole world wrong?
everythings never enough
baby youre so, well youre just too much
everythings never enough
it will be the death of me
before i let you get the best of me girl
it will be the death of me
before i let you get the best of me
youre the monster underneath
lost of all faith
feeding off my dreams
where i thought i was safe
so shut your mouth
and bite your tongue
because your a liar never foolin anyone
youre the smoke in the air making everyone choke
youre the monster underneath
lost of all faith
feeding off my dreams
where i thought i was safe
so shut your mouth
and bite your tongue
because youre a liar never foolin anyone

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
mmmm i love this song veryy amazing and well preformed -i think the song is about a girl. who was pretty much a liar and everything she said was a load-a-shit and he saw that right from the start and didnt fall for her stunts and things she said i guess..? i donno but its a really good song i love it
