about

“Reminiscent of a child-like fear of the dark, Monsters reminds adults of what is lurking in the shadows and beckons us to stop ignoring what is scary or unfamiliar.” -The Pairs

Monsters weaves a tale of both literal and metaphorical shadows. This song is about the untold stories that shape us but stay hidden until their inevitable journey to the surface. As adults we have a desire to look away from what we can’t quite make sense of. This song beckons us to stop ignoring and welcome the shadows.

lyrics

There’s a devil in my pocket
Telling me what to do
Now I’m afraid to sleep at night
Cuz I might fall right through
The cracks in the hardwood floor
Of this big haunted house
I’ve never been here before

There’s a ghost in the stairway
haunting my dreams
I keep myself awake for as many days as I can
I know I can’t explain
Even if I did then you’d never understand

Chorus:
I don’t want to sleep at night anymore
Monsters in my closet are scratching at the door

There’s a tree in the backyard
It’s swinging in the shade
Talking to my mind
But I can’t tell what it’s saying
I know I’d be okay if I could look away
Or maybe learn to pray

There’s a hoodie hanging on the door
Becomes a man I loved before
He’s grey, and he stays in one place
Asking to be adored
I wish I could have gave him more

Chorus:
I don’t want to sleep at night anymore
Monsters in my closet are scratching at the door

Bridge:
Let ‘em through and it’ll change you
Let ‘em through and it’ll save you

Chorus:
I don’t want to sleep at night anymore
Monsters in my closet are scratching at the door
