Storytelling wise, this song is the “dark night of the soul” beat of the album. It’s about feeling low bad down and dirty. Mostly while dealing with the worst hangover of your life.
lyrics
maybe i’ll wake up in a dumpster
covered up in trash
with a playboy in my back
thrown out by some embarrassed dad.
but i’ll get out and walk around
Yes i’ll get out and walk around
like the monster that i am
sometimes i think about what they’ll all think about
when i die
actually I
i think about that shit all the time
but i keep my mouth shut
Yes i keep my mouth shut
like the monster that i am
i had a fist full of water that swallowed me whole
i lost sight of my future or so that I’m told
i held hands with a baby that looks just like me
and my other hand dripped water down his chubby cheek
and now I’m floating off the ground again
like the monster that i am
now I’m floating off the ground again
Like the monster that i am
are there monsters in heaven
Are there monsters in heaven
Are there bad guys in heaven
Is my grandpa in heaven
Are there monsters in heaven
