So my boyfriend and I have different views on the song popular monster. I prefer the one by Falling in Reverse and he prefers Halocene’s version. This is really not a big thing. We have different views on songs that we both like and we just deal with the other persons view.
We were going to a appointment today and his vehicle so he gets to choose the music. He played popular monster and it was an ah ha moment for me. Halocene’s voice is the same register as I sing in my head… So I like the other one because I can enjoy the song. Halocenes version ends up being my inner voice.
There’s blood in the water And they’re coming to bring me down What’s hope with no savior Yeah, there’s no one in this ghost town She looked right through me And I turned to stone Medusa, Medusa, I’ve been here alone And I crumbled to pieces My body, my weakness is on the floor And the wind will blow and blow And I won’t be here no more My wishing well has run dry Stars are dying in the sky So I’ll shed my blood and tears I’ll show no fear just to survive She looked right through me And I turned to stone Oh Medusa, Medusa, I’ve been here alone Ahh, ahh Ahhhh She says, mortal one you’ve been chosen You’re beautiful, but you’re broken So hold on to this moment And fight until you’re hopeless There’s secrets and riddles That live in these walls There’s ghosts of past heroes And I hear them call my name We won’t be tamed Oh, she looked right through me And I turned to stone Medusa, Medusa, I’ve been here alone She looked right through me And I turned to stone Oh Medusa, Medusa, I’ve been here alone Ahh, ahh Ahhhh Ahh, ahh Ahhhh
My 2 cents –
I have always loved the myth of Medusa. I see the curse she was given as Athena’s way of giving her a way to defend herself. I read a poem recently and I loved it so much… But I didn’t save it so I am not sure who penned it. Or even if I am remembering it right. But it was about Medusa. It basically said that the reason why she was hated was because she made her trauma so loud that they made her body a battlefield. Gah I wish I had saved it now. It really was so lovely.
Edit : not sure if it is going to share properly but I found a reel of it. It is titled Aphroditie made me do it by Trista Mateer.
I am so broken, my wounds are open For the world to see That I am unclean I’m dirty I’m unworthy Turning, fire’s burning I hate that you hurt me I’ll take what you’ve done I hate that you’re happy I thought you were the one I hate that I still want you And miss your smile I hate everything about you I hate myself for hanging on My eyes are distorted From the lies that you’ve spoken I scream But I feel nothing It’s unreal Dirty, I’m unworthy Turning, fire’s burning I hate that you hurt me I’ll take what you’ve done I hate that you’re happy I thought you were the one I hate that I still want you And miss your smile I hate everything about you I hate myself for hanging on Breathing’s not a part of healing It doesn’t mean I’m alive inside Just because my heart’s still beating It doesn’t mean I don’t wanna die slow I hate that you hurt me I’ll take what you’ve done I hate that you’re happy I thought you were the one I hate that I still want you And miss your smile I hate everything about you I hate myself for hanging on I hate that you hurt me I’ll take what you’ve done But I hate everything about you I hate myself for hanging on Hate myself for hanging on
My 2 cents –
I feel like this one is so freaking relatable. Moving through life, and love, is hard. And though the song is obviously about a romantic type of relationship, I think that it could easily be applied to other types as well. That feeling like you wonder why you were never good enough and how much it hurts… yeah. Relatable. Sorry for the sad on main, but it came up first as I went looking for music to talk about.
So it’s time to ask for the next volume for both Serena and myself. Since I do it on Facebook publicly and I don’t want to blow up my media here… I am putting it in as links.

We’re the underdogs roaming in the dark We’re the savages born from worlds apart And now I know that this is just the start We will fight for everything we are RAGE, that RAGE (when you feel that rage, when you feel that) RAGE, that RAGE (when you feel that rage, when you feel that) Rage (that rage) Light a match and reignite the flames (the flames) This ain’t the end, we’re here to stay We rush into the unknown Fearless and brave So don’t throw it away (that rage) Won’t stop until sweet victory We will go down in history So come and play with that rage (that rage)
My 2 Cents –
too many people consider Rage as a variety of anger. Rage is so much more. and at the same time is. Rage is unconscious, uncontrollable, the first instinct when we get backed into a corner…. and yes it is anger, but it is also so much more.
I was once told that I should not be angry about the abuse that I suffered… I was told that I should forgive.
Anger is a safety mechanism. forgiving allows you to forget about the pain caused. It means letting go of righteous pain. that righteous pain built me into the person that I am. it made me empathetic, it made me kind, and it made me aware of the people that exist in this world who are going to hurt others.
