Little monster Lyrics (English Translation) – ILLIT (아일릿)

Little monster (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
This part feels like someone is sensing something weird deep inside, like a feeling they can’t explain. Their heart feels uneasy, like it’s restless or on edge. It’s almost like something invisible is following them, and they can’t ignore it anymore — they know they have to deal with it somehow.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, they imagine all their stress coming together and forming a kind of monster. Instead of being scared, they decide to face it. They picture themselves swallowing the monster, as if they’re taking control and destroying the bad energy all at once.

[Chorus]
This part shows them pushing away the negative thoughts and things they don’t want to deal with anymore. Repeating “I don’t wanna know” sounds like a way to shut out fear, doubt, or sadness. Then, with one bold action — eating it all in one bite — they show their determination to overcome it and not let it control them.

[Verse 2]
Now they describe the emotional “monster” they’re dealing with — it’s new, weird, and has a strange taste, like sweet and sour. Their sad feelings feel sticky, like they’re hard to shake off. But instead of giving in, they plan to trap these feelings and deal with them directly, like catching them when the time is right.

[Pre-Chorus]
Again, they’re building up this image of gathering all their stress and emotions into something they can face. By imagining it as a monster they can swallow in one go, they’re turning fear into something they can beat, instead of something that beats them.

[Chorus]
Just like before, they’re trying hard not to think about the things that hurt or bother them. Saying “I don’t wanna know” again and again feels like they’re blocking out the noise and choosing strength. In the end, they decide to eat it all — meaning they’re taking all the pain and stress and handling it once and for all.

[Bridge]
This part brings back the uneasy feeling from the beginning. The heart still feels overwhelmed, like it’s been going nonstop. The pain hasn’t stopped, and it’s still bothering them. They’re not ready to forgive or forget — it’s something they’re holding on to, maybe because it still hurts too much.

[Pre-Chorus]
Now they see that the more they face their problems — or “swallow” the monsters — the lighter they feel inside. By dealing with the pain instead of avoiding it, their anxiety slowly fades. It reminds us that the hard stuff gets easier once we go through it, not around it.

[Chorus]
Once again, they block out all the things they don’t want to feel or think about. The repeated line shows how serious they are about not letting the stress or sadness in anymore. When they say they’ll eat it all in one bite, it’s like saying they’ve had enough and are finally ready to take charge.
