In “Monster”, EST grapples with mental illness and the problems it causes, viewing it as a monstrous entity that has taken control of her mind.
[Verse 1]
I know that they're talking, I hear their voices
But all that it sounds like to me are noises
(What should I do to make sense?)
I know that we're walking, we're going somewhere
But everything just looks the same I'm nowhere
(What should I do to make sense?)
[Pre-Chorus]
Count, count, count, count to ten
Breathe, breathe, breathe, and breathe again
[Chorus]
Oh my mind is a monster
Can't tame it though I want to
Can't tame it though I want to
[Verse 2]
Why do I feel like I'm just not working?
Is everything I do supposed to hurt me?
(What should I do to make sense?)
I know I'm alive, but how is this living?
If I could change myself I'd be willing
(What should I do to make sense?)
[Pre-Chorus]
Count, count, count, count to ten
Breathe, breathe, breathe, and breathe again
[Chorus]
Oh my mind is a monster
Can't tame it though I want to
Can't tame it though I want to
[Outro]
Count, count, count, count to ten
Breathe, breathe, breathe, and breathe again
Oh my mind is a monster
Can't tame it though I want to
Can't tame it though I want to
