What gives someone the right to insult you, hurt you, make you feel small and then make you feel like it was all your fault? As if it was you that pushed them? As if you forced them to hurt you?
Monster, the latest single from alt rockers Novustory, addresses that exact situation and will strike a chord with everyone who has ever found themselves in that same place. Monster is for everyone who has been made to feel as if they’re a monster when in reality they’re the victim of someone else’s tortured mind.
lyrics
Monster lyrics Would you believe me if I said I was wasted?
I didn’t even like her
You kissed me just to spite her
Drank my drink, but I couldn’t even taste it
If I thought It‘d end like this
Do you think that’s worth a kiss?
And you took advantage, And I didn’t want this
This ain’t worth the hassle. And she ain’t worth your time.
You spoke and I was dazzled. I’d never make, I’d never make you mine
You’ve got, false memories of the truth
It’s took 3 to to blow
The story of the 2 of you
Now I said sorry, but I’m not wrong
I’ve been worried, for far too long
You’ve lost respect? Well it’s gone for you.
If I’m a monster, then you’re one too
I never go out out on the weekend
And the one week that I do
I go run into you, and it’s the blunt end
This is why I’m never out
It isn’t worth the shouting
And you took advantage, And I didn’t want this
This ain’t worth the hassle. And she ain’t worth your time.
You spoke and I was dazzled. I’d never make, I’d never make you mine
You’ve got, false memories of the truth
It’s took 3 to to blow
The story of the 2 of you
Now I said sorry, but I’m not wrong
I’ve been worried, for far too long
You’ve lost respect? Well it’s gone for you.
If I’m a monster, then you’re one too
If I’m a monster, then you’re one too
