Monsters Under My Bed

About the Song

“Monsters Under My Bed” explores the fears, doubts, and insecurities that tend to surface when everything becomes quiet.
The song uses the familiar image of monsters hiding beneath the bed as a metaphor for thoughts that are difficult to escape — from fear of rejection to self-doubt and uncertainty.

Rather than running away from those feelings, the lyrics gradually turn toward confronting them.
The darkness becomes less something to fear and more something that has to be faced before it can lose its power.

About the Lyrics

From the first verse, the song moves into a world of midnight thoughts and sleeplessness.
The imagery of claws reaching out from beside the bed gives those fears a physical presence and sets the emotional tone for the song.

At the same time, the lyrics focus on vulnerability.
The narrator wants love and validation but is also aware of the insecurities that can shape the way rejection and relationships are experienced.

As the song develops, the monsters become a metaphor for those thoughts rather than something purely external.
Instead of pretending that they are not there, the lyrics suggest acknowledging them and learning to live with the uncertainty they represent.

That theme connects the song with feelings of loneliness and self-doubt that appear elsewhere in my music.
You can also hear a different perspective on isolation in
Be Alone.

Lyrics: Monsters Under My Bed

[Verse 1]

Midnight, ma-ma-my eyes won’t close but
Sleep tight, as all these claws reach from my

Bedside, ca-can’t you see it’s cuz you
Declined, my love

[Pre-Chorus]

Yes I want you to love me
Or just even like me
But I can tell how it’s going to end

Someone like you wouldn’t love me
I think you’re above me
It’s in my head

[Chorus]

These are the monsters under my bed
Don’t tell a word they will be afraid
Welcome the monsters deep in my head
Turn off the lights it’ll be okay

[Verse 2]

Moonlight, wo-wonder how could I be
Alright, when you decide to be such a

Lowlife, I knew your type just right from the start
Oh you’re the type who ain’t got a heart

[Pre-Chorus]

And I want you to love me
Or just even like me
But I can tell how it’s going to end

Someone like you wouldn’t love me
I think you’re above me
It’s in my head

[Chorus]

These are the monsters under my bed
Don’t tell a word they will be afraid
Welcome the monsters deep in my head
Turn off the lights it’ll be okay

These are the monsters under my bed
Don’t tell a word they will be afraid
Welcome the monsters deep in my head
Turn off the lights it’ll be okay
