Another view of this song could be about addiction (although I am not sure of ever reading him having a drinking or drug problem) The first verse seems like he is saying the "monster" is awake again (the cravings) and won't go away until he get's his fix or until all that he has is gone. It's that satisfaction you crave being an addict but never achieving it. Then the lyric about him forgetting the pain... and the last verse could maybe be about choosing either the drugs/alcohol or getting clean and being with the one he loves?
I also think the last verse is about a relationship with someone who isn't treating you right but you love them so much it's too hard to actually leave.
Whatever the meaning, I love this song but wish it was longer :( It has a beautiful sound to it.
