Monsters

Ruelle's song 'Monsters' delves into the dark and haunting presence of inner demons and fears that lurk within us. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of these 'monsters' as relentless and ever-present, symbolizing the struggles and anxieties that we often try to hide from. The opening lines, 'You've got no place to hide / And I'm feeling like a villain, got a hunger inside,' set the tone for a relentless pursuit, suggesting that these fears are inescapable and always lurking just beneath the surface.

The chorus, 'Monsters stuck in your head / Monsters under your bed,' reinforces the idea that these fears are both mental and emotional, deeply ingrained in our psyche. The repetition of 'We are monsters' serves as a chilling reminder that these inner demons are a part of us, and we must confront them rather than run away. The imagery of a heart beating like a drum and the chase beginning evokes a sense of urgency and tension, highlighting the constant battle we face against our own insecurities and fears.

Ruelle's use of metaphors such as 'kings of the killing' and 'out for blood' further emphasizes the destructive nature of these inner demons. They are not just passive fears but active forces that can consume and destroy if not addressed. The song's dark and haunting melody complements the lyrics, creating an atmosphere of suspense and unease. Through 'Monsters,' Ruelle captures the essence of the human experience of grappling with inner turmoil, making it a powerful anthem for those facing their own battles within.
