The secret side of me, I never let you see
I keep it caged but I can't control it
So stay away from me, the beast is ugly
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it
It's scratching on the walls, in the closet, in the halls
It comes awake and I can't control it
Hiding under the bed, in my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
My secret side I keep hid under lock and key
I keep it caged but I can't control it
'Cause if I let him out he'll tear me up, break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
It's hiding in the dark, it's teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me, it wants my soul, it wants my heart
No one can hear me scream, maybe it's just a dream
Maybe it's inside of me, stop this monster
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I've gotta lose control, he something radical
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
Skillet 2009
Skillet is a Christian rock band which I can't say I normally find in my library but this song came on the radio and grabbed my attention.
The song is all about putting on an act for others, being someone you're not for the benefit of others. I am sure many of us at some point in our life have done this and experienced it in others. I am reminded quickly of high school days when everyone wanted to be accepted. Fortunately for me I was perfectly content to be the outsider or at least be the one who "thought outside the box". This song now reminds me so much of my daughter, being 14 she is stuck in this rut. People tend to put on an act in many different situations in life. Sadly people seem to think it is necessary to do so. Personally I think it's just easier to be who I am and if people don't like it... well that sucks for them.
This song really has no deeper meaning in my mind. I think it has a good tempo, great sound and the growl just adds to the song. What do you think?
Skillet doesn't appear to have a bad sound. It seems like a sort of Social Distortion meets Avenged Sevenfold (a more talented version of Avenged Sevenfold).
ReplyDeleteWhile I can see Mardi's point-of-view on this song, I just don't know if that's what it does for me personally. When we're young we all have these ideas about things that help shape our life-view. The march of time and experience slowly, although sometimes quickly, changes us. Sometimes when we look back and reflect on things, we see how much has changed and how much you became the person you didn't want to become. Sometimes even we can point to a single experience that moved us in the direction we are currently headed.
Being this is a Christian rock band, I somehow sense this is a song about temptation and how it has led our hero astray from his righteous path. As such, my next song is going to expand a little on this theme.
I have to agree with Mardi... it's not a bad song at all. I wouldn't turn it off if came on the radio, but it probably won't find its way into my library.
