BEAUTIFUL MONSTER

STAYC's 'BEAUTIFUL MONSTER' delves into the complex emotions of being in love with someone who is both enchanting and potentially hurtful. The song begins with the group's signature call, 'STAYC girls, it’s going down,' setting the stage for a narrative about a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics suggest a deep need for the other person, likening the relationship to a puzzle that, despite its complexity, is okay. The scent that reminds the singer of their partner is described as 'so blue,' indicating a sense of melancholy or longing.

The song continues to explore the duality of the partner's nature, describing their attitude as sweet and their words as comforting, like warm sunlight. However, there's also an acknowledgment of occasional coldness, which seems to be a part of the singer's own demeanor as well (''cause I do'). This coldness persists even when they are physically close, highlighting the emotional distance that can exist even in intimate moments. The chorus reinforces this theme, with the partner being referred to as a 'beautiful monster' who both causes pain and heals it, encapsulating the contradictory nature of love.

The bridge of the song poses reflective questions, asking what the partner calls the singer and what they represent to them. These questions underscore the search for identity and understanding within the relationship. The repeated line 'Love is ooh-ooh' suggests that love is indescribable and mysterious, further emphasizing the song's message about the enigmatic and often contradictory experience of love. Overall, 'BEAUTIFUL MONSTER' by STAYC captures the essence of a love that is both beautiful and painful, and the courage it takes to embrace it.
