Tune Tuesday: “Monster” by Meg & Dia
“Monster” by Meg & Dia
These are the lyrics of the song that really stuck out: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.SNIPPET (from CITY OF GLASS):
Shw as halfway down the stairs, her stele in hand, when she sensed that something was wrong. The living room was empty. Max and Sebastian were nowhere to be seen. There was a half-finished protection Mark on one of the logs Sebastian had nailed over the broken window. The hammer he'd used was gone.
Her stomach tightened. "Max!" she shouted, turning in a circle. "Sebastian! Where are you?"
Sebastian's voice answered her from the kitchen. "Isabelle--in here."
Relief washed over her, leaving her lightheaded. "Sebastian, that's not funny," she said, marching into the kitchen. "I thought you were--"
She let the door fall shut behind her. It was dark in the kitchen, darker than it had been in the living room. She strained her eyes to see Sebastian and Max and saw nothing but shadows.
"Sebastian?" Uncertainty crept into her voice. "Sebastian, what are you doing in here? Where's Max?"
"Isabelle." She thought she saw something move, a shadow dark against lighter shadows. His voice was soft, kind, almost lovely. She hadn't realized before now what a beautiful voice he had. "Isabelle, I'm sorry."
"Sebastian, you're acting weird. Stop it."
"I'm sorry it's you," he said. "See, out of all of them, I liked you the best."
"Sebastian--"
"Out of all of them," he said against, in the same low voice," I thought you were the most like me."
He brought his fist down then, with the hammer in it.
LYRICS:
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 tattoed in his veins, yeah.


Nice choice. I have a recommendation. Lonely Boy by The Black Keys. I think of Magnus in Clockwork Prince, waiting around for Camille to show up, whenever I hear it.
