“Monsters” is a song about a toxic person who you just can’t let go of. Instead of blaming the person in question, Alex sings lines of self-doubt. It’s a relationship where one person simply can’t let go, like they “don’t mind if you fuck up my life”.
The song features hip-hop artist blackbear and...
[Intro: Alex Gaskarth]
Why do all the monsters come out at night?
Why do we sleep where we want to hide?
Why do I run back to you, like I don't mind if you fuck up my life?
[Verse 1: Alex Gaskarth]
Another day, 'nother headache in this hangover hotel
Gettin' used to the rhythm, yeah, I know this beat too well
Tunnel visions got me feeling like you're the only one I see
But I know what's missing when I'm swimmin'
In my lonely luxury
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
I'm wondering, why do all the monsters come out at night?
Why do we sleep where we want to hide?
Why do I run back to you, like I don't mind if you fuck up my life?
Why am I a sucker for all your lies?
Strung out like laundry on every line
Why do I come back to you, like I don't mind if you fuck up my life?
[Verse 2: blackbear]
I'm addicted to the way you hurt, the way you contradict me
I swear everything look worse at night, I think I'm overthinking
I don't care who I might hurt along the way, I'm fuckin' sinking
Into every word, I don't care if you're lyin' when I'm drinking, so
Tell me pretty lies, look me in my face
Tell me that you love me, even if it's fake
And you can lead me on and leave these questions in my sheets
I'm under it, I made my bed and I'm still wonderin'
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
I'm wondering, why do all the monsters come out at night?
Why do we sleep where we want to hide?
Why do I run back to you, like I don't mind if you fuck up my life?
Why am I a sucker for all your lies?
Strung out like laundry on every line
Why do I come back to you, like I don't mind if you fuck up my life?
[Bridge: Alex Gaskarth]
Thinkin' about you, you're in my head
Even without you, I still feel dead
Why do I run back to you, like I don't mind if you fuck up my life?
Dead, thinking about you, you're in my head
Even without you, I still feel dead
Why do I run back to you, like I don't mind if you fuck up my life?
[Chorus: Alex Gaskarth]
I'm wondering, why do all the monsters come out at night?
Why do we sleep where we want to hide? (Hide)
Why do I run back to you, like I don't mind if you fuck up my life?
Why am I a sucker for all your lies?
Strung out like laundry on every line
Why do I come back to you, like I don't mind if you fuck up my life? (Fuck up my life)
[Outro]
Like I don't mind if you fuck up my life

Alex told RockSound
Mutual friends. We’ve been friends with blackbear for a while but never thought to collab. And then Andrew Goldsteen, he was the initial producer on the song, has been doing a lot of the new blackbear stuff. So it really just worked out that we were all kind of working together...
Kerrang spoke to frontman Alex Gaskarth about the track.
This was done in Palm Springs, in the later part of the process. We knew once we’d written it that we had something special; there was an energy that felt like it was going to be one of the standout songs on the record. Andrew [Goldstein, son...
