Monster Lyrics

They’ve been calling me the monster
Ever since the day I was born
Never saying huh, don’t hurt no-one
Each and every Sunday morn
I rise so strong is that so wrong
I don’t mean to devastate
They say

Here come the monster everybody run
Shouting out loud and beating that drum
I’m gigantic, titanic I might cause a panic
Ready or not baby here I come

I am a monster
Full of desire full of love
I am a monster
The one that everyone is so afraid of

They been screaming at the monster
Since they got the fire inside
Every little mistake such a little twist makes
Nobody is satisfied
I rise so strong is that so wrong
I don’t mean to devastate
They say

Here come the monster everybody run
Shouting out loud and beating that drum
I’m gigantic, titanic I might cause a panic
Ready or not baby here I come

I am a monster
Full of desire full of love
I am a monster
The one that everyone is so afraid of

Here come the monster everybody run
Shouting out loud and beating that drum
I’m gigantic, titanic I might cause a panic
Ready or not baby here I come

I am a monster
Full of desire full of love
I am a monster
The one that everyone is so afraid of

I Need To Wake Up

They’ve been calling me the monster
Ever since the day I was born
Never saying huh, don’t hurt no-one
Each and every Sunday morn
I rise so strong is that so wrong
I don’t mean to devastate
They say

Here come the monster everybody run
Shouting out loud and beating that drum
I’m gigantic, titanic I might cause a panic
Ready or not baby here I come

I am a monster
Full of desire full of love
I am a monster
The one that everyone is so afraid of

They been screaming at the monster
Since they got the fire inside
Every little mistake such a little twist makes
Nobody is satisfied
I rise so strong is that so wrong
I don’t mean to devastate
They say

Here come the monster everybody run
Shouting out loud and beating that drum
I’m gigantic, titanic I might cause a panic
Ready or not baby here I come

I am a monster
Full of desire full of love
I am a monster
The one that everyone is so afraid of

Here come the monster everybody run
Shouting out loud and beating that drum
I’m gigantic, titanic I might cause a panic
Ready or not baby here I come

I am a monster
Full of desire full of love
I am a monster
The one that everyone is so afraid of

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
