His little whispers.
Love Me. Love Me.
That's all I ask for.
Love Me. Love Me.
He battered his tiny fists to feel something.
Wondered what it's like to touch and feel something.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here.
Looking through the window...
That night he caged her.
Bruised and broke her.
He struggled closer.
Then he stole her.
Violet wrists and then her ankles.
Silent Pain.
Then he slowly saw their nightmares were his dreams.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here.
Looking through the windows.
I will.
Hear their voices.
I'm a glass child.
I am Hannah's regrets.
Monster.
How should I feel?
Turn the sheets down.
Murder ears with pillow lace.
There's bath tubs.
Full of glow flies.
Bathe in kerosene.
Their words tattooed in his veins.

Added: 2007-01-16 00:30:14 Rating: I believe it's about rape. A child (Hannah) gets raped and then she becomes pregnant with her rapisit's child and the child grows up knowing it's Hannah's regret.

Added: 2007-01-24 15:37:20 Rating:  Well for some reason the first thing that popped into my head when I heard this song was Child abuse (of all kinds) and neglection. I'm probably wrong but that's just what I understood out of the song.

Added: 2007-01-25 22:29:32 Rating: I believe that there was a wife(hannah) and a husband, they were in a abusive relationship. There is a such thing called Marital Rape, So I think that's what happened. They had a kid and she grows up knowing she is her mothers (hannahs)regrets.( like the 3rd poster said)

Added: 2007-02-06 21:57:40 Rating: i think it has something to do with abuse and rape. when she says " I am Hannah's regrets" I think it means that when her mother, Hannah got raped, her mother could not deal with it so she had a diffucult time. When the child was born Hannah treated it differently.Now, when she says "I am a glass child" I think she means she was neglected, abused, ignored, and possibly didn't feel loved. When she says " Bathe in kerosene " it means someone was a acoholic. Because kerosene is a liquid such as gas or alcohol. Well I guess I'd better stop.

Added: 2007-07-11 14:55:41 Rating: This song was written by Meg & Dia based a story that they wrote. It was about a kid named Henry who wasn't loved by his father of mother, Hannah (Hannah's regret). He grows up and knows nothing about emotions and so he see this girl he wants to talk to. When he tries to talk to her she turns away and he grabs her and she can't git away (cages her). He beats and bruises her, and then stole her virginity. After that he kills himself. So basically this whole song is about a boy/man who raped a girl

MONSTER SIDENOTES
Hello. Here are the lyrics to Monster written by a collaboration of Meg and I. Many of our songs that we write, and many of the ones that will be on the new record are about stories. Stories about friends, about strangers, about history, and about characters in some of our most favorite books. Posted below are the actual lyrics to "Monster," as well as the short story I wrote next to those lines along time ago.
[lyrics.]
****************************************
Sidenotes and afternotes for the more curious and unsatisfied....by Dia.
*********
The couch. Always behind the couch. Under the table. The closet under the stairs. Three places to run. Three places to hide. Every time their voices would rise I would run to the closest sanctuary and thank God I was small enough to fit. Those voices that ran across each corner of the room seemed to reverberate off my very skin. Dad. He told me to call him Sir. Never Dad. Mom. She told me to call her Hannah. She was so pretty when she slept. She was so pretty when she was happy. Now, her body of twenty years was old. Tired from no sleep, breaking from fingertips pressed into her sides, and boiling with too hard of liquor for her fragile, porcelain outline.
After every uproar, every tear by her, and every empty bottle by him they would come looking. Her, happy to see him turn his malice towards me. Him, happy to turn his malice away from himself. I was the six year old pathetic coward.
Sir, I would say.
My eyes would wander to Hannah with frightened curiosity.
What had I done?
I called him sir. I called her Hannah.
They called me Henry at school.
They called me Henry at church.
They called me Monster at home.
After black, they would confine me to my room. A tiny room with one window, where their words said minutes earlier would form long sentences and wrap around in a circle above my head like those music boxes loving mothers would clip to the sides of their infants cribs. I hated my room. I hated the dark. They knew it, too, and took pleasure in locking me in. Locking me in where they could get me.
Dear Reader: Please note, if you ever were a six year old child, remember what it was like to lay in bed and imagine that loud heartbeat pulsing thick from underneath your mattress. Remember that hand that hovered over your face once you closed your eyes. Remember that loud breathing that resided around your open window. The creatures. That white little girl that crawled towards you in the night, hair hanging around the neck, fingers outstretched. To a child it is horrid. To an adult, it is a memory that most barely ever remember.
Twenty years later.
I didn't understand love. I didn't understand human connection. I only understood the weather: constantly changing. I understood change. I didn't understand safety, or any emotion, be it love, or hate, that could be unconditional.
I was at my second year of college. I was striving to be a writer. I didn't trust the crowds. I would go to my apartment, sit at my small desk I had gotten at a garage sale, and stay there for hours with my books, my papers, and a bottle of brandy. Then the day would end, and I'd get ready for the next.
I slept with the lights on.
Always.
I didn't want many things, but every once in a while, I hate to admit, I would want to feel that popular emotion I had read about in so many books: love. I was scared to administer it myself. I was scared to feel for another person.
So things happened.
On the walk to my apartment I saw a girl in a red sweater. I pardoned her and asked her if she knew where Rebecca street was. She looked at me in a funny way, paused, and turned her back to me. My hands ran to her shoulders, my lips to her neck. Hard fingers, hard hands. Her soft hair, thin ankles.
I ran off, leaving the crème skinned girl crying at her violette bruises left in patches under her sweater and skirt.
I had been born of glass but now I only felt apathy. No regrets, but still, that hard human pain that is there when you know you have done a terrible trespass.
I went back to my apartment. I turned all the lights on and opened the window. The night was calm and beautiful. The wind brought in glow flies by the dozen. They did not bother me like they did to most locals here. They brought light and company and I loved them with all my heart. I broke the lamps and poured the liquid into the bath tub. Small shards of porcelain glass managed to mix in with the water as well, that was now pouring from the faucet. I added the remaining kerosene I kept under my sink and by my desk which I had used as a denaturant for my alcohol.
Maybe it would have the same effect on me..

Added: 2007-07-19 09:39:12 Rating: Well I believe the song is some kind of abuse, I've listened to it over and over again. Whether it be rape, whatever. I believe the song is about someone being abused, also if you listen to "Violet Wrists and then her ankles." Someone clearly cut themselves, whether it be the 'mother' Hannah, as all have claimed, whether it was meg and dia, I think only people that know the true meaning of this song are Meg and Dia, and the "bath tub full of glowflies, bathe in kerosene" think about it, glowflies-kerosene, maybe the glowflies are some kind of symbolism and maybe someone wanted to blow themselves up in the bath tubs, all I know, is the song is full of a deep hurt.

Added: 2007-07-31 01:55:34 Rating: I think that this song is about an abusive relationship... but not like between spouses or anything... like between a child and his parents... He's doing whatever he can like battering his tiny fists so that he can feel something... ANYTHING... because he doesn't feel love at home... So he's trying to make sure he's alive and figure out how he's supposed to feel and react to everything that's happening...just my interpretation

Submitted by: anonymous
Added: 2007-09-11 22:22:26 Rating: It's about a girl, hannah, who has an abusive boyfriend-guy, who rapes her, creating the little boy.
he hears him yell at her and hurt her, when he's still a baby. and the mom never gives him enough attention.
he is "hannah's regret".
then when he grows up, he wants someone to love.
so he falls for this girl, but she doesn't like him back.
he "struggled closer" for her love,
but she wasnt interested.
then one night he "caged her, bruised her, broke her".
meaning he took it too far, raped her, and killed her.
then he realizes he's turned out just like his father.
"he slowly saw their nightmares were his dreams".
the MONSTER was his father. Then he became the MONSTER.
its a really depressing song.
but you have to love it.
