I wrote 'Monster' at a time in my life that darkness seemed to surround me. I was turning to alcohol and drugs to cope with the darkness within me and the abusive living situation I was living in. I felt hopeless, like I would never be able to quiet my demons or get sober. Drink after drink, pill after pill, I just wanted to silence it all and disappear from the emptiness I felt inside. Writing this song helped me process and cope with all that darkness and gave me hope that I could turn all that darkness and ugly into something beautiful that might help someone else facing the same battles. My music is and always will be my greatest coping method. Time and time again, music heals the deepest wounds.more
