Popular Monster Lyrics

Yeah, I wake up every morning
With my head up in a daze
I’m not sure if I should say this
F**k, I’ll say it anyway
Everybody tries to tell me
That I’m going through a phase
I don’t know if it’s a phase
I just wanna feel okay, yeah

I battle with depression
But the question still remains
Is this post-traumatic stressing
Or am I suppressing rage
And my doctor tries to tell me
That I’m going through a phase
Yeah, it’s not a f**king phase
I just wanna feel okay

Ok yeah, I struggle
With this bulls**t every day
And it’s probably ’cause my demons
Simultaneously rage
And it obliterates me
Disintegrates me
Annihilates me

‘Cause I’m about to break down
Searching for a way out
I’m a liar, I’m a cheater
I’m a non-believer
I’m a popular, popular monster
I break down, falling into love now
With falling apart
I’m a popular, popular monster

I think I’m going nowhere
Like a rat trapped in a maze
Every wall that I knocked down
Is just a wall that I replace
I’m gonna race against myself
And try to keep a steady pace
How the f**k will I escape
If I never close my case

Oh my God, I keep on stressing
Every second that I waste
Is another second sooner
To a blessing I won’t take
But my therapist won’t tell me
That I’m going through a stage
Yeah, it’s not a f**king stage
I just wanna feel okay, okay

Ok motherf**ker
Now you got my attention
I need to change a couple things
‘Cause something is missing
And what if I were to lie
Tell you everything is fine
Every single f**king day
I get closer to the grave

I am terrified
I fell asleep in the world again
Crashed my car just to feel okay
Obliterate me
Disintegrate me
Annihilate me

Yeah, here we go again, motherf**ker, oh
We’re sick and tired of wondering
Praying to a God that you don’t believe
You’re searching for the truth in the lost and found
So the question I ask is, oh
Where the f**k is your God now

I’m a liar, I’m a cheater
I’m a non-believer
I’m a popular, popular monster…

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.

As for the songs meaning the narrator is going through some type of mental issues. He describes such as being akin to “depression”. However, the people he deals with, i.e. “everybody” and his “doctor”, tell him that he’s just “going through a phase”. But as revealed later, this more like an existential crisis. But either way, the true purpose of this song is supposed to be how external pressures are negatively affecting him. And these factors do indeed transform him into the “popular monster”. And by “popular monster”, we can say he has become an unfavorable individual who was made so due to people perceiving him as such in the first place. So we can safely say the narrator’s internal issues coupled with external pressures have forced him to fully embrace his dark side.
