Skillet-Monster

The song 'Monster' by Bastian Cortes delves into the theme of internal struggle and the darker aspects of the human psyche. The lyrics describe a person who feels as though there is another side to them, one that is uncontrollable and destructive. This 'other side' is personified as a beast or a monster that is locked away, suggesting a battle between the person's conscious self and an inner, more primal nature. The repeated line 'Confieso que me siento un monstruo' translates to 'I confess that I feel like a monster,' indicating a sense of guilt and self-awareness about these darker impulses.

The song's narrative portrays the monster as something that is trying to break free, causing the individual to feel fear and desperation. The imagery of the monster 'rasgando la pared' (scratching the walls) and hiding 'en mi cuerpo y en mi ser' (in my body and my being) illustrates the internal conflict and the feeling of being trapped with this darker side. The plea for someone to come and save them from this internal monster underscores a desire for help and a longing to be freed from their own destructive tendencies.

Culturally, the song taps into the universal human experience of grappling with the parts of ourselves that we are not proud of. It resonates with listeners who have ever felt overwhelmed by their own emotions or actions that seem out of their control. The metaphor of the monster serves as a powerful representation of the internal battles that many people face, making the song both relatable and cathartic for those who struggle with their inner demons.
