[Verse 1: Heeseung, Jake]
As if nothing happened
She looks at me
With eyes without a single shadow
But I know
The abyss inside me
With its mouth open
Waiting for me
[Pre-Chorus: Jungwon, Jay]
The pure nape keeps driving me crazy
Throw me into an uncontrollable desire
I've been forgiven countless times and reborn
Still a monster
[Chorus: Sunoo, Heeseung, Jake]
How dare you, baby (Hey)
I yearn for you
Even though my heart is such a monster (Save me)
What is love? To me (Hey)
Teaching me love
In the end, the answer is always, only you, ooh (Oh, I'm a)
[Post-Chorus: Sunghoon, NI-KI]
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Still a monster
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Still a monster
[Verse 2: Sunoo, Sunghoon]
Without you, I'm empty
Only this darkness remains (Only darkness remains)
This long pain déjà vu that covers me deep in the night, oh
[Pre-Chorus: NI-KI, Heeseung]
To me full of scars, you're the only savior
Only you taught me how to see myself
I can only be me when I'm by your side
I'm not a monster
[Chorus: NI-KI, Jungwon, Jay]
Dare you, baby (Hey)
I yearn for you, my heart
This monster Even though we're the same age (Save me)
What is love? To me (Hey)
Teaching love
In the end, the answer is always, only you, ooh (Oh, I'm a)
[Bridge: NI-KI, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Jungwon, Sunoo, Heeseung]
I'm scared (Oh)
All the nights without you (Hey, hey)
Surely I
Will be ruined
I'm anxious
I hold your hand again
I want you to hold me tight
[Chorus: Jay, Jake, Sunoo, Heeseung]
I dare you, baby (Hey)
My heart yearns
Even though I'm such a monster (Save me)
What is love? You teach me love. In the end, the answer is always only you, ooh (Oh, I'm a) [Post-Chorus: Heeseung, Jay, Jungwon, Jake] Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Still a monster Na-na-na-na-na-na-na I'm not a monster Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Still a monster Na-na-na-na-na-na-na I'm not a monster (Oh, I'm a) [Outro: Sunoo, Sunghoon] Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Still a monster Na-na-na-na-na-na-na I'm not a monster
[Verse 1: Heeseung, Jake]
In this verse, Heeseung and Jake describe a scene where the speaker feels overlooked and misunderstood, sensing that their inner darkness is patiently waiting to surface. The imagery of the speaker's internal abyss and the unblemished gaze of the other person suggests a stark contrast between their perceived purity and the speaker’s own inner turmoil.
[Pre-Chorus: Jungwon, Jay]
Jungwon and Jay convey a sense of relentless torment caused by the "pure nape" of the other person, which drives the speaker to the edge. Despite their repeated attempts at forgiveness and renewal, they still see themselves as a monster. This section illustrates the internal struggle and the overpowering nature of their desires that overshadow their efforts to change.
[Chorus: Sunoo, Heeseung, Jake]
In the chorus, Sunoo, Heeseung, and Jake express a paradoxical desire for their partner's presence, even while identifying themselves as a monster. The chorus questions the nature of love and its ability to redeem or transform the speaker. The repeated plea for salvation underscores the tension between their monstrous self-perception and the transformative power of love.
[Post-Chorus: Sunghoon, NI-KI]
The post-chorus reaffirms the central conflict of the song, with repetitive affirmations of being "still a monster." This repetition emphasizes the persistent internal struggle and the difficulty in reconciling their self-image with their desire for change.
[Verse 2: Sunoo, Sunghoon]
Sunoo and Sunghoon describe a state of emptiness and recurring pain in the absence of their partner. The imagery of darkness and déjà vu suggests a cycle of suffering that persists without their partner’s presence, highlighting their dependency on the relationship for emotional stability.
[Pre-Chorus: NI-KI, Heeseung]
NI-KI and Heeseung portray the partner as the only savior who provides a means for the speaker to view themselves differently. When in the partner's presence, the speaker feels they are not a monster, indicating that their self-worth and identity are significantly tied to the relationship.
[Chorus: NI-KI, Jungwon, Jay]
The chorus revisits the theme of needing the partner despite self-identification as a monster. NI-KI, Jungwon, and Jay emphasize the crucial role of the partner in their life, with the repeated questioning of love and its capacity to redeem the speaker.
[Bridge: NI-KI, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Jungwon, Sunoo, Heeseung]
The bridge reveals the speaker’s fear of deterioration in the absence of their partner and their desperate plea for reassurance and comfort. The emotional plea to hold them tight underscores their vulnerability and the crucial need for their partner’s presence to maintain their emotional equilibrium.
[Chorus: Jay, Jake, Sunoo, Heeseung]
In the final chorus, Jay, Jake, Sunoo, and Heeseung repeat the central conflict of longing for the partner while grappling with their self-identity as a monster. This iteration emphasizes the ongoing struggle and the critical role of the partner in providing a sense of redemption.
[Post-Chorus: Heeseung, Jay, Jungwon, Jake]
The final post-chorus continues to explore the duality of being a "monster" and the desire for change. The repeated lines reinforce the song’s exploration of identity and the impact of love on personal transformation.
[Outro: Sunoo, Sunghoon]
Sunoo and Sunghoon conclude with a final affirmation of being "still a monster," contrasting with the earlier declaration of not being a monster. This ending underscores the unresolved conflict and the persistent nature of their inner struggle.
