Monster

Paramore · Other Songs - Paramore

You were my conscience

So solid, now you're like water

And we started drowning

Not like we'd sink any further

But I'll let my heart go

It's somewhere down at the bottom

But I'll get a new one

And come back for the hope that you've stolen

I'll stop the whole world,

I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster

And eating us alive,

Don't you ever wonder how we survived?

Well now that you're gone, the world is ours

I'm only human, I've got a skeleton in me

But I'm not the villain, despite what you're always preaching

Call me a traitor, I'm just collecting your victims

And they're getting stronger

I hear them calling. (I hear them calling)

I'll stop the whole world,

I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster

and eating us alive,

Don't you ever wonder how we survived?

Well now that you're gone, the world is ours

Well you find your strength in solution

But I like the tension

And not always knowing the answers

But you're gonna lose it, you're gonna lose it!

I'll stop the whole world,

I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster

and eating us alive,

Don't you ever wonder how we survived?

Well now that you're gone, the world is

I'll stop the whole world,

I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster

and eating us alive,

Don't you ever wonder how we survived?

Well now that you're gone, the world is ours

Monster - Paramore

Paramore's "Monster" stands as a defining track from the band's 2013 self-titled album, marking a pivotal shift in their sound toward a more mature, alternative rock direction. The song features a driving, rhythmic structure that blends electronic textures with heavy guitar riffs, reflecting the group's evolution during this era. Lyrically, the track explores themes of internal struggle and the duality of the self, delivered with a vocal performance that balances aggression with melodic vulnerability. As a staple of their discography, "Monster" encapsulates the post-punk revival influence present in Paramore's later work, offering a sonic landscape that distinguishes them from their earlier pop-punk roots while maintaining their signature emotional intensity.
