[Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons]
Ever since I could remember,
Everything inside of me,
Just wanted to fit in (oh oh oh oh)
I was never one for pretenders,
Everything I tried to be,
Just wouldn't settle in (oh oh oh oh)
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide
me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's
inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest,
Do I have to run and hide? (oh oh oh
oh)
I never said that I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it's made it's home inside (oh oh
oh oh)
If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle who's
got me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's
inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
I'm only a man with a candle who's
got me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's
inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.
I think that this song is about a person who always was told that they were different or an outcast and therefore could never become anything or fit in, but then they find out that they aren't and just keep becoming stronger and proving people wrong.
