Monster is a song about being dysfunctional during bouts of depression. Locking yourself away in a room playing video games in the dark. Waking up late and convincing yourself its ok to live this way.
lyrics
You call me at midday
I’m still waking up
Counting creases on my face
I’m coming unstuck
It doesn't make much sense to move
If I can't spend my time with you
I've got a hole in my pocket
The one where my spare change rattles around with my youth
(It rattles around with my youth)
It doesn't make much sense to move
If I can't live my life with you
And I can't, oh it's sad but true
I’ll still be ever dependent on you
Stood here like a bubble stuck here waiting to burst
Like i'm frozen in one spot and my legs start to hurt
There’s weeks where i can function, my mind seems to work
But if i stop for too long i'll probably blow again.
And I, when did I become a monster lurking in the dark?
Oh but i’m getting by
When did I, When did I become a monster lurking in the dark
Oh but i’m getting by
Stood here like a bubble stuck here waiting to burst
Like i'm frozen in one spot and my legs start to hurt
There’s weeks where I can function, my mind seems to work
But if i stop for too long i'll probably blow again.
And I, when did I become a monster lurking in the dark?
Oh but i’m getting by
When did I, When did I become a monster lurking in the dark
Oh but I'm getting by.

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
