Lava Monster Lyrics
Depression sets in again
I know how that goes
Nothing seems to work out anymore
And you hurt so much
Feel so helpless
Want to crawl into a hole somewhere
And just give up
And just give up
And just give up
But I can't let you
Because you never let me
Let me
You never let me
You never let me
And you say your life is useless
And you say this is all meaningless
But I, I know that that is just bullshit
Because you will not give up
Because you will not give up
Give up
Because the moment that you do
I would give up too
That's what I'd do
That's what I'd do
And it's not easy when this happens
Fighting something, that you can't see but
Don't you worry because I'll get in there
And take some hits for you
I'll take some hits for you
I'll take them all for you
I'll take them all for you
No more limits
No more limits
Take them
Take them
Take them all for
And I know your life's not useless
And if there's some way, I'd prove it
When the lava comes
I swear, I'll block it
It will not touch you
It will not touch you
Touch you
And if the lava monster came
I would block his flame from hurting you
From hurting you
He will not hurt you
Will not hurt you
Will not touch you
I know how that goes
Nothing seems to work out anymore
And you hurt so much
Feel so helpless
Want to crawl into a hole somewhere
And just give up
And just give up
And just give up
But I can't let you
Because you never let me
Let me
You never let me
You never let me
And you say this is all meaningless
But I, I know that that is just bullshit
Because you will not give up
Because you will not give up
Give up
Because the moment that you do
I would give up too
That's what I'd do
That's what I'd do
Fighting something, that you can't see but
Don't you worry because I'll get in there
And take some hits for you
I'll take some hits for you
I'll take them all for you
I'll take them all for you
No more limits
No more limits
Take them
Take them all for
And I know your life's not useless
And if there's some way, I'd prove it
When the lava comes
I swear, I'll block it
It will not touch you
It will not touch you
Touch you
I would block his flame from hurting you
From hurting you
He will not hurt you
Will not hurt you
Will not touch you

i think these lyrics are much better than the ones in his latest albums..
'And if the lava monster came I would block his flame from hurting you' he knew how to use metaphors even at 13...that's totally amazing.
In my opinion, this is Conor's best song when he was 13. It's an awesome song, great lyrics as well.
I think this songs meaning is about someone being abused my another and him wanting to fight for them and protect them. He wants to take away their pain and make them feel like their not worthless just because someone else thinks so doesn't mean it's true.
