Monster You Made

My favorite interpretation of this song was from a friend who served in the military and said that this song described exactly how he felt coming home from Iraq.

However, I saw Pop Evil's lead singer describe in a video on YouTune that this song is about his coming into fame, and how people around him said that he's changing...but actually the people around him have changed in how they act around him, including some of his best friends. It's about the price of fame and the damage it can have on your life and relationships.

to me this song is very powerful... he cheated on a girl and its been hard on their relationship ever since. no matter how hard he tries to change she wont let him forget the pain she has endured. when he says " im only the monster you made" he feels to himself that he cheated cause of how she treated him before and after him cheating. basically saying if it wasnt for u i wouldnt be the way i am right now and i wouldnt have ever cheated on u. in the song he states forgive me for all that i have done". the second verse tells it all.... he has tried so hard to show her that hes not the same man that cheated on her but she wont let him forget it and throws it in his face all the time. " iv stoped believeing that i could ever make things change, how much can i take, when i know that it hurts you, how long can i wait, when i cant go on like this anymore....." hes given up trying to show her that he has changed. he relizes that the hurt for her will never go away and all its doing is killing him knowing the pain shes in and that he will never be able to make the pain go away for her. thats my take on this song.....

this song makes me think that even though you try to remain good and strong-willed you could [and by the way the sound goes] become influenced by the negativity in your life, especially when people really test your integrity. and I think it could really pertain to a situation where your faith or lack of faith gets tested. sometimes you turn ugly on the inside due to the confliction in your life, even if you don't want to become that "monster". I think it's pretty relatable.

This is my first "songmeanings" post. This song is the conversation I would have with God It begs me to find him, to ask forgiveness. But I cannot, because I'm a monster.

I heard this song for the first time yesterday live on the radio. They were playing live in the studio. It was awesome! Pop Evil is definitely a band I could really get into.

Anyways, I believe this song is about a relationship where she abused or neglected him in some way and it's made him bitter and like a monster. So he's asking her to change him and show him the love he shows her but he can't stand her because she made him this way.

this to me is a good example of what society does to us. he doesn't know who he is anymore because of how much he's changed. but he didn't change because he wanted to, he changed because society forced it on him. he has become a monster.

This interpretation goes in order with the verses.

This first verse means observe your loved ones can you see the old them through all the bull crap society has fed them? the world changes everyone and anything it's just a matter of time, "and I admit I don't want to change with" meaning a mental or physical fight against the world's vile nature. "and I admit I can't go on like this anymore" giving into suicidal tendencies perhaps?

He's begging to go back to his old self again, he's hurt a lot of people made some big mistakes he's clearly asking for forgiveness claims to have changed into someone that they had created in their minds and is stating that fact so they'll feel guilty?

Feeling of alienation, feels as if they're left alone they can do no harm he feels remorse "See I'm torn from my mistakes".Believes that they're so far gone from reality or they're real selves that there's no changing what so ever.Implying that they can't take much more of the "battle", knowing that it hurts their loved ones to see him fight and lose.Saying that he can't wait around to change when he knows that it is nearly impossible.

See paragraph two.

Coming to terms and pointing out that they aren't the same person he use to be.

to me it's about a relationship.when he says it's not over say it's not over i'm begging for mercy i'm only the monster you made me.especially when he says say it's not over,he's begging his girlfriend/ex girlfriend to not end the relationship,he also says forgive me for all the damage done he's admitting causing pain/hardship in the relationship and he's sorry for what he did.he also says i'm only the monster you made me meaning that she is the reason he is the way he is now

this is mt fav song ever since i heard on the radio that same day i downloaded it to my itouch and learned to play it on guitar. i think this song is about something terrible someone did to you of made you experieance ( for me its going to afganistan for 3 years fighting the war.... and some other bad thing that haave happened) what they did to you changed you into something you never wanted to be a jaded creature of hate youve changed so much you look into the mirror and dont even recongnize yourself anymore you hate what youve become and you dispise the people who did this to you you become so jaded that you can feel anything any more nothing but rage and you hate it you just dont care anymore but you miss being able to care to feel to love you feel for you loved ones knowing they have to deal with the new you no matter how much they try to talk to you about it you refuse because you know none of them will ever understand and most of the shit that happened to you you dont wont to know to know the hell you went through knowing would hurt them more then this monster could ever do so you just fake a smile and tell them it all okay when it not youve become the monster "they" made you and you wish you could go back to how things used to be but you can never go back its been to long the old you is dead eventaully you learn to live with this hate monster and accept it as the knew you not because youve grown to like it but because it all you have

I believe the song centers around substance abuse. We can clearly see the array of alcohol bottles across the apartment and him sleeping the night off while she gathers her things. Then she proceeds to leave the note saying “ If you can’t see you, I can’t see you” which to me is a ultimatum to get his s#&t together or she has to move on for good. However the end leaves a lot unanswered because of what he wrote in his letter, “ this will be my final goodbye” which apparently he is having hand delivered....so does that mean the final goodbye from him as a addict because he’s going to get help? Or has he given up and is now contemplating suicide? Yours to interpret
