Song Meaning of “Monsters” by Pink Lincolns
“Monsters” by Pink Lincolns tells the narrative of a journey through a dark, uncertain world. Although the narrator is not alone, he is prone to being haunted by his own fears and anxieties, tropes which he personifies as monsters. The lyrics suggest that the monsters he confronts are both physical and psychological, such as the physical pain of a broken heart, and the depression it brings.
The chorus suggests that the narrator has gone too far into the darkness, and that he should call for help and try to get out of the darkness. To help in this quest, he finds comfort in his enduring friendships and those he loves. The narrator’s courage and determination to make it through this difficult period of his life is highlighted in the bridge, with the lyrics: “But I’m not afraid to fight, I’ll take on these monsters, keep them far from me tonight.”
The song urges listeners to face their fears and anxieties and look towards friendship and love in times of darkness. The song contains the hopeful message that together, we can conquer our “monsters”.
