I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You’re trying to save me stop holding your breath
And you think I’m crazy yeah you think I’m crazy
I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek
Oh well guess beggars can’t be choosey
Wanted to receive attention for my music
Wanted to be left alone in public excuse me
For wanting my cake and eat it too and wanting it both ways
Fame made me a balloon ’cause my ego inflated
When I blew see but it was confusing
‘Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
Abused ink used it as a tool when I blew steam wooh
Hit the lottery oh wee
But with what I gave up to get it was bittersweet
It was like winning a used mink
Ironic ’cause I think I’m getting so huge I need a shrink
I’m beginning to lose sleep one sheep two sheep
Going coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith
But I’m actually weirder than you think
‘Cause I’m
I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You’re trying to save me stop holding your breath
And you think I’m crazy yeah you think I’m crazy
Well that’s nothing
Well that’s nothing
Now I ain’t much of a poet but I know somebody once told me
To seize the moment and don’t squander it
‘Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
So I keep conjuring sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
Yeah pondering’ll do you wonders
No wonder you’re losing your mind the way it wanders
Yodel odel ay hee hoo
I think it went wandering off down yonder
And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
‘Cause I need an interventionist
To intervene between me and this monster
And save me from myself and all this conflict
‘Cause the very thing that I love’s killing me and
I can’t conquer it
My OCD’s conking me in the head
Keep knocking nobody’s home I’m sleepwalking
I’m just relaying what the voice in my head’s saying
Don’t shoot the messenger I’m just friends with the
I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You’re trying to save me stop holding your breath
And you think I’m crazy yeah you think I’m crazy
Well that’s nothing
Well that’s nothing
Call me crazy but I have this vision
One day that I’ll walk amongst you a regular civilian
But until then drums get killed and I’m coming straight at
MC’s blood gets spilled and I’ll
Take you back to the days that I’d get on a Dre track
Give every kid who got played that
Pumped up feeling and sh*t to say back
To the kids who played him
I ain’t here to save the f**king children
But if one kid out of a hundred million
Who are going through a struggle feels it and relates that’s great
It’s payback Russell Wilson falling way back
In the draft turn nothing into something still can make that
Straw into gold chump I will spin Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
Maybe I need a straight jacket face facts
I am nuts for real but I’m okay with that
It’s nothing I’m still friends with the
I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You’re trying to save me stop holding your breath
And you think I’m crazy yeah you think I’m crazy
I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You’re trying to save me stop holding your breath
And you think I’m crazy yeah you think I’m crazy
Well that’s nothing
Well that’s nothing

歌曲《The Monster》是由美国说唱歌手埃米纳姆(Eminem)与巴巴多斯女歌手蕾哈娜(Rihanna)合作演唱的一首流行说唱单曲,于2013年10月29日正式发行,并收录于埃米纳姆的第八张录音室专辑《The Marshall Mathers LP 2》中。在创作背景上,这首歌曲由埃米纳姆、乔恩·博利恩(Jon Bellion)以及碧碧·雷克萨(Bebe Rexha)共同创作,并由Frequency担任制作人。歌曲的灵感最初来源于碧碧·雷克萨在试图走出个人低迷时期时创作的旋律Demo,制作人听到后将其推荐给了埃米纳姆的团队。埃米纳姆在听完Demo后深受触动,不仅围绕这段旋律创作了犀利的说唱主歌,还坚定地认为蕾哈娜是完成这首歌曲演绎的最合适人选,因为他认为大众将他们两人都视为“疯狂的人”。这也是继《Love the Way You Lie》系列和《Numb》之后,两人的第四次强强联手,最终这首作品席卷全球,在12个国家的音乐榜夺冠,并荣获第57届格莱美奖“最佳说唱合作”奖。
在表达含义上,这首歌曲彻底摒弃了此前合作中关于“家庭暴力”的探讨,转而将焦点深入至精神层面,深刻剖析了名人在巨大光环下所面临的心理挣扎、身份认同危机以及如何与内心的“黑暗面”共存。埃米纳姆在歌词中毫不掩饰地揭示了名声带来的焦虑与矛盾,他用“想要名声却不想上新闻周刊”、“名声让我像个气球一样自我膨胀”等直白的比喻,刻画了渴望被认可又渴望平静的撕裂感。同时,他将失眠、梦游、强迫症(OCD)等精神困扰具象化为“床底下的怪物”,表达了自己从试图消灭心魔,到最终选择“与怪物做朋友”、接纳自身不完美的心理转变。
整首歌曲的核心灵魂高度凝练在蕾哈娜冰冷而充满力量的副歌中:“I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed(我与床底下的怪物为友)”。这种将内心的阴暗面与侵入性思维拟人化的表达,传达出一种不再抗拒、不再羞耻,而是选择坦然面对并与其和平共处的释然。在MV中,蕾哈娜化身为治疗师,引导埃米纳姆直面过去的暴力、家庭与成瘾影像,完美契合了歌曲“自我救赎与和解”的主题。这首歌不仅是对明星光环背后真实痛苦的忏悔,更是向所有在深夜与自身焦虑、抑郁或压力搏斗的普通人传递的力量——承认自己并不完美,允许自己带着伤疤前行,这本身就是一种极具韧性的勇敢。
