Monster by Michaela May

Back with her 2nd single off her upcoming EP, 'Monster' provides a more introspective look into anger, betrayal and infidelity.

Michaela May's last single, Crying At The Radio, was very well received in the Synthwave and Retrowave scenes. She also just released a 13 minute short film to accompany Crying At The Radio, which was entirely funded by an Indiegogo campaign. Now Michaela is back with 'Monster,' where we hear her more energetic and fiery than ever before.

'Monster' recalls a vulnerable moment where a significant other has betrayed your trust one too many times. The song dives into complex emotions as we journey through Michaela's innermost thoughts.

Michaela describes, 'We often hear songs lamenting over past relationships. With Monster, I wanted to write a song that really chronicles the stages of grief and anger that you go through. Dive a little deeper into the myriad of feelings that happen when you have been blindsided or betrayed.'

Sonically, Monster maintains Michaela's synth-pop signature shimmer combined with a bit more darkness, while managing to feel retro and contemporary at the same time.

Michaela's upcoming EP is on deck for early summer 2023. If Monster and Crying At The Radio are anything to go by, listeners and fans should be ready for a powerful, brazen and anthemic EP.

Lyrics

[LYRICS]

I'm not the girl I used to be no
cried my tears, made a river
I was drowning my soul, I just let go
Still can't forget the things you did, no
Broke my heart into pieces
Now my world has turned black, I'm losing control

All your secrets and your lies
Got me burning up inside
You don’t wanna start a fire

Cause when I get that feeling
Hiding deep inside
There's a monster in mind
In my mind

And it's creeping up inside
There’s a monster in my mind
I got that feeling
Jekyll and Hyde

There’s a monster in my mind
There’s a monster in my mind
There’s a monster in my mind

I'm locked inside my own asylum
Go to sleep with my demons
and they're screaming at me

cause i know that, you'll never change
promises I know your gonna break, again
Cause this is all fake

All your secrets and your lies
Got me burning up inside
You don’t wanna start a fire

Cause when I get that feeling
Hiding deep inside
There's a monster in mind
In my mind (ah yeah)

And it's creeping up inside
There’s a monster in my mind
I got that feeling
Jekyll and Hyde

There’s a monster in my mind
Oh yeah
There’s a monster in my mind
Oh yeah
There’s a monster in my mind

I lose control
Can’t save my soul
All the demons know
No one can help me, no

Cause when I get that feeling
Hiding deep inside
There's a monster in mind
In my mind

And it's creeping up inside
There’s a monster in my mind
I got that feeling
Jekyll and Hyde

There’s a monster in my mind
I’m a monster
There’s a monster in my mind
Ha-hooo
There’s a monster in my mind
