Monster Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Under the knife I surrendered
The innocence yours to consume
You cut it away
And you filled me up with hate
Into the silence you sent me
Into the fire consumed
You thought I’d forget
But it’s always in my head
[Chorus]
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
You're the love that I hate
You're the drug that I take
Will you cage me?
Will you cage me?
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
From the monster you made me?
From the monster you made me?
[Verse 2]
This is the world you've created
The product of what I've become
My soul and my youth
Seems it's all for you to use
If I could take back the moment
I'll let you get under my skin
Relent or resist?
Seems the monster always wins
[Chorus]
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
You're the love that I hate
You're the drug that I take
Will you cage me?
Will you cage me?
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
From the monster you made me?
From the monster you made me?
[Bridge]
My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul
I'll lift you up and then I'll let you go
I've made an art of digging shallow holes
I drop the darkness in and watch it grow
My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul
Who knew the emptiness could be so cold?
I've lost the parts of me that make me whole
I am the darkness, I'm a monster
[Chorus]
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
You're the love that I hate
You're the drug that I take
Will you cage me?
Will you cage me?
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
From the monster you made me?
From the monster you made me?
From the monster you made me?
From the monster you made me?

Monster was produced by Rob Graves.
What was the inspiration behind this song?
Early on, as we were making it, I knew it was going to be a single. Even before the lyrics to “Monster” happened. I was in Venice Beach on a rooftop, just searching for the hook for this song, and it dawned on me all at once. And the whole entire song sort of just came to fruition and once. I’m a wo...
What type of relationship is this song about?
I try to write songs so that they’re ambiguous, even within the context of my own self. The band, Starset, is sci-fi-based, and there is a narrative attached to everything, including the record. The record is essentially a soundtrack. Within the record, there’s an arc within it. It’s like a journey,...
