Monoliths Lyrics
There's no world
And no God
And no hate
And no fraud
And no fate
And no thought
It's just me
Getting hard
Hey
Somewhere outside
And I wish I could be there
Most of the time
As I hear
All the crews
That go out
Of the room
As it waves
Down the hall
It's just me
Not at all
Hey
Somewhere outside
And I wish I could be there
Most of the time
And one of these days
I hope I come 'round
And one of these days
I hope I come 'round
And one of these days
I hope I come 'round
And one of these days
I hope I come 'round
And one of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
And no God
And no hate
And no fraud
And no fate
And no thought
It's just me
Getting hard
Somewhere outside
And I wish I could be there
Most of the time
All the crews
That go out
Of the room
As it waves
Down the hall
It's just me
Not at all
Somewhere outside
And I wish I could be there
Most of the time
I hope I come 'round
And one of these days
I hope I come 'round
And one of these days
I hope I come 'round
And one of these days
I hope I come 'round
And one of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around
One of these days
I'll come around

This song expresses opioid/heroin addiction in such a unique and perfect way. While similar songs, like the Velvet Underground’s “Heroin,” share the isolation of monoliths, the velvets are desperate and panicked while LP is simply resigned to his habit. When Pundt sings “one of these days, I’ll come around,” the music swells in celebratory crescendo— in the addict’s mind, thinking about getting clean is almost as good as actually doing it. But the truth is, he loves the drug. He doesn’t want to change. Thus, “I’ll come around” gradually negotiates its way to “I hope I come round.” Just one of many concessions the addict makes as their “Monolith” consumes their entire life.
