The Haunting Reflections in 'Monster' by Robin Schulz

Robin Schulz's 'Monster' delves into the haunting and introspective themes of inner turmoil and self-perception. The repetitive nature of the lyrics, particularly the recurring question 'How should I feel?' suggests a deep sense of confusion and self-doubt. The word 'Monster' itself is a powerful metaphor, representing the darker aspects of one's psyche or the internal struggles that one faces. This could be interpreted as a reflection on personal fears, insecurities, or even past traumas that continue to haunt the individual.

The imagery of 'creatures' lying and 'looking through the window' adds a layer of eerie voyeurism, as if these internal monsters are not just hidden within but are also observing and judging from a distance. This could symbolize the feeling of being constantly watched or judged by one's own negative thoughts and emotions. The window serves as a barrier, a thin veil between the internal world of the 'monster' and the external reality, emphasizing the isolation and separation felt by the individual.

Robin Schulz, known for his deep house and electronic music, often incorporates emotional and introspective themes into his work. 'Monster' is no exception, blending haunting lyrics with a hypnotic beat to create a sense of unease and introspection. The repetitive structure of the song mirrors the cyclical nature of negative thoughts and the struggle to break free from them. This track invites listeners to confront their own 'monsters' and reflect on how these internal battles shape their perception of themselves and the world around them.
