Monsters – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I see your monsters

I see your pain

Tell me your problems

I'll chase them away

I'll be your lighthouse

I'll make it okay

When I see your monsters

I'll stand there so brave

And chase them all away

...

In the dark we, we, we

Stand apart we, we

Never see that the things we need

Are staring right at us

You just want to hide, hide, hide

Never show your smile, smile

Stand alone when you need someone

It's the hardest thing of all

That you see are the bad, bad, bad memories

Take your time and you'll find me

I see your monsters

I see your pain

Tell me your problems

I'll chase them away

I'll be your lighthouse

I'll make it okay

When I see your monsters

I'll stand there so brave

And chase them all away

I could see the sky, sky, sky

Beautiful tonight, night

When you breathe why can't you see

That the clouds are in your head

I would stay there, there, there

No need to fear, fear

When you need to talk it out

With someone you can trust

What you see are the bad, bad, bad memories

Take your time and you'll find me

I see your monsters

I see your pain

Tell me your problems

I'll chase them away

I'll be your lighthouse

I'll make it okay

When I see your monsters

I'll stand there so brave

And chase them all away

I'll chase them all away

...

You've got the chance to see the light

Even in the darkest night

And I will be here like you were for me

So just let me in

Cause I see your monsters

I see your pain

Tell me your problems

I'll chase them away

I'll be your lighthouse

I'll make it okay

When I see your monsters

I'll stand there so brave

I see your monsters

I see your pain (ooh, yeah)

Tell me your problems

I'll chase them away

I'll be your lighthouse

I'll make it okay (I'll make it okay)

When I see your monsters

I'll stand there so brave

And chase them all away

...

Key Grammar Structures

• I see your monsters

  ➔ Simple present tense (subject + base verb)

  ➔ The verb ""see"" is in the simple present to express a habitual or general observation.

• I'll chase them away

  ➔ Future simple with the modal "will" + base verb

  ➔ The contraction ""I'll"" = "I will" shows a decision or promise in the future; ""chase"" is the base verb.

• When I see your monsters, I'll stand there so brave

  ➔ First conditional: "when" clause (present simple) + future clause with "will"

  ➔ The word ""when"" introduces a time clause in the present simple ("see"); the result clause uses ""I'll"" = "I will" to express a future action.

• You just want to hide, hide, hide

  ➔ Simple present with adverb "just" indicating emphasis

  ➔ The auxiliary verb ""just"" modifies "want" to stress that the desire is immediate or simple.

• Take your time and you'll find me

  ➔ Imperative sentence + future clause with "will"

  ➔ The verb ""Take"" is in the imperative giving advice; ""you'll"" (= you will) predicts a future result.

• I could see the sky, sky, sky

  ➔ Modal verb "could" + base verb to express ability or possibility in the past or conditional

  ➔ The modal ""could"" suggests a tentative ability or a hypothetical situation, followed by the base verb ""see"".

• Even in the darkest night

  ➔ Prepositional phrase with superlative adjective "darkest"

  ➔ The preposition ""in"" introduces the location "the darkest night"; "darkest" is the superlative form of "dark".

• So just let me in

  ➔ Imperative sentence with verb "let" + object pronoun + preposition "in"

  ➔ The word ""let"" is used as an imperative meaning "allow"; "me" is the object pronoun, and "in" shows direction.

• And I will be here like you were for me

  ➔ Future simple with "will" + comparative clause introduced by "like"; past simple in the subordinate clause

  ➔ The modal ""will"" marks a future state; "like" introduces a comparison, and "you were" uses the past simple to describe a previous action.
