Suppose it's about the monster Grendel? From Beowulf. The hero of the story kills this monster, but the fight is written from the monster's point of view.
There's a situation right before the monster is killed, where the hero's party is outside the hall where he lives. They're talking and eating before challenging the monster. The monster is all alone.. "I wanted to be them"
Grendel has to fight the hero, even though he knows he will lose. He has no choice but to instigate the fight... So he does, and he dies. "destroyed myself.."
Let's assume it's not about Grendel: I love that line, and how it fits so ... cryptically. "The rain was there to wash away my tears / I wanted to be them, but instead I destroyed myself" Did the subject want to be the rain, or the tears? Who knows...
Okay, so get this. Jeremy or Dan or someone has a fight with someone they care about. They have a bit of a bad side within them.. and the just let it come out because they felt they had no choice. This person they fought with was someone who could fix every single character flaw and every problem Dan or Jeremy or whoever has... the perfect love. Perfect friend or somethin. So they fight with this person about something, and it was the final fight, and the person leaves. Then DanJaeremyPersonOrWhatever says to themselves "jeez, I feel like a monster.. I feel like Grendel."
I'm really not sure which one of these, but they're prolly all wrong. Just seems right to me.
