“Monster Kid” is a single released by Shadrow on August 31, 2016. It is based on the video game Undertale, and is from the point of view of Monster Kid, a supporting character in the game.
While Shadrow’s other Undertale songs explored darker themes, “Monster Kid” is very joyful and upbeat. Shadrow...
[Verse 1]
Hey there, I don't think we've met
Pleasure is mine
You seem cool, don't break a sweat
Everything is fine
'Round here the plants don't blossom
Due to the snow
Your stripey sweater's awesome
Just thought I'd let you know
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you want to go on awesome adventures with me?
Let's pretend we're heroes fighting to set us all free
[Chorus]
I don't mean no harm
I'm just a monster kid
Philosophy's unarmed
But I will never quit
Now don't be alarmed
That's just the way I live
You know I mean no harm
Cause I'm a monster kid
[Verse 2]
Hey, have you seen my hero?
She's so freakin' cool
Her reaction time is zero
I'm telling you, she rules
She fights with such precision
She just can't be beat
She must have laser vision
Now wouldn't that be sweet?
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard there's a human hiding around here somewhere
I'm not scared, the chances of that are really quite rare
[Chorus]
I don't mean no harm
I'm just a monster kid
Philosophy's unarmed
But I will never quit
Now don't be alarmed
That's just the way I live
You know I mean no harm
Cause I'm a monster kid
[Bridge]
I'm enjoying all the cool stuff we're talking about
If you ever need a friend I will be there to help you out
[Chorus]
I don't mean no harm
I'm just a monster kid
Philosophy's unarmed
But I will never quit
Now don't be alarmed
That's just the way I live
You know I mean no harm
Cause I'm a monster kid
I don't mean no harm
I'm just a monster kid
Philosophy's unarmed
But I will never quit
Now don't be alarmed
That's just the way I live
You know I mean no harm
Cause I'm a monster kid
