Monster

The lyrics are incorrect from the unintelligible line ("-------") on.

The ------ line is actually "The hair grew in thick" What follows is this:

The hair grew in thick, Your talons reached in, The venom fought hard, To poison our hearts, Delusions of dying made sense in your head, But you're better than that, you're better than that

This is a cool and clever song. At its most basic level, it's about a girl dealing with her period (monster and blood as metaphors) -- which in turn serves as a second-level metaphor for growing up. In the twilight between childhood and adulthood, you feel like your real self is trapped inside your changing body. (Dressed up in your outsides). Your body is doing weird things, and you struggle with a sense of losing who you are in who you are becoming. It's scary. (Inside you're in nighttime, everywhere is frightening).

The connected hearts are those of the child and the adult. Growing up threatens to rip the connection apart. The protaganist wants to flee it (run and hide, she's coming around), but obviously can't escape it. She struggles with it (the venom fought hard to poison our hearts), becoming depressed (delusions of dying). Ultimately, though, she resolves it -- realizing that growing up isn't as bad a thing as she feared. It just a necessary part of our life's cycle. The monster that scared her so much is ultimately seen in a different, and positive, light. Blood, which is normally associated with death and injury, is seen as renewing life force instead of as destructive force (It's our blood that mends us). This obviously ties up the menstruation angle. The final stanza is hopeful and upbeat.

Really good song.

i've been looking for these lyrics for AGES!!!!! i love this song soo much thank you sooo much for posting them :D

She coming to tear out the strings...but it's the blood that mends us.

So maybe the strings she's tearing out are literally the life source, the veins, and she's the monster?

I think it might be to do with breaking up with someone but she's really scared of breaking up. So she dresses up, i guess in the sense of taking someone out to a meal then breaking up with them. But inside, she is super scared. The something to find could be confidence to do that. But I think she has mixed feelings about breaking up with this person, and this metaphorical monster is there to do the breaking up ie tearing out the strings connected to our hearts. Afterwards, she feels relieved that she has done the break up.

The lyrics above are almost all INCORRECT.

"Dressed up in your outsides, inside you're in nighttime Everywhere is frightening, there's something you are needing to find

The pressure's pressing you down, that raging monster pullin' you around It wants to rip our skins apart, tear out the strings connected to our hearts Our hearts, our hearts

Evil glare under her eyelids Rudely wears us on her mouth Tremble when we see her Run and hide, she's coming around to

Tear out the strings, tear out the strings Connected to our hearts (Repeat, repeat)

You're in the way of yourself That crowded you in Dark clouds come around in hopes of a home

Your body grew wider, your movements slowed down Delusions of dying made sense in your head

The hair grew in thick Her talons reached in The venom fought hard to poison our hearts

Delusions of dying, they dance in your head But you're better than that, you're better than that Tear out, tear out

The way we're made protects us The bones, the muscles shelter But it's our blood that mends us It's our blood that mends us"

After all this time, the lyrics here are still TOTALLY WRONG. Not even close, for the most part. Which is sad, because it is a great song.

Just stopped by after a few years to check. Yep. The lyrics to this song are still all wrong here. “The pressures grassing’ you down.” Ayfkm? Great song, ruined by wrong lyrics spread across the net.
