Monstrosity Lyrics – Ren Zotto

Monstrosity Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
This verse describes a sense of emotional detachment and inner turmoil. The singer feels cold and distant, almost like their presence paralyzes others. They acknowledge that their heart is something dark and consuming, like a parasite. There’s also a hint of self-reflection—questioning if this is really what others expected or wanted from them.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, the song suggests a deep connection with someone, almost like an unavoidable bond. The singer doesn’t just feel something for this person; they are a part of them. There’s also a sense of admiration, as they see this person as a kind of art—something beautiful but possibly fleeting or untouchable.

[Chorus]
The singer begs for recognition, asking if others can truly see them for who they are or if they’re being ignored. They refer to themselves as a “project of fear,” implying that their existence or nature is something unsettling. There’s a bittersweet offer of freedom, as if saying, “If my presence bothers you, I can let you go.” They fully embrace the idea of being a “monstrosity,” accepting their identity even if it pushes others away.

[Verse 2]
This verse highlights sacrifice and hidden truths. The singer has given up something in the process of becoming who they are, and they are no longer the person others assumed them to be. There’s also an element of secrecy, suggesting that if the full truth were known, it might be disturbing or difficult to accept.

[Pre-Chorus]
Again, this section emphasizes the idea of an inescapable connection. The singer reiterates that this bond is not just a passing feeling but something deeply rooted. The idea of the other person being like “art” suggests admiration, but also the possibility of something fragile or untouchable.

[Chorus]
Repeating the same plea as before, the singer continues to struggle with their identity. They challenge others to truly see them, rather than ignoring or fearing them. There’s an underlying sadness in the idea that if their existence causes discomfort, they will let go, even though they fully acknowledge the darker parts of themselves.

[Bridge]
This part explores self-awareness and isolation. The singer acknowledges that no one can escape who they truly are, even if it leads to madness. They feel alone in a world they seem to be destroying, either intentionally or unintentionally. There’s a moment of warning—asking if others are really looking at them, truly understanding, and hoping they don’t regret pushing the singer away.

[Final Chorus]
A final, almost resigned statement. The singer once again declares themselves a monstrosity, accepting their identity, whether or not others choose to see it.
