Skrillex – Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites

  General Comment:he's probably trying to summon a demon, and it won't reveal itself to him, and he's telling it not to be afraid, and he's just like the demon...

  My Interpretation:I think that The Monster is the good guy, and the kid is afraid of him, but he's saying not to be afraid because he is just like the kid, but the Sprites are trying to kill the boy, but acting like they wanna help. they here what the monster says, and repeat it to the boy, because the boy can only here them, and then the song ends, when the sprites kill the boy.
  
  fairies and sprites are similar, and in the old days fairies tricked people into doing what they wanted.

  My Interpretation:Maybe it is just because I think Skrillex is gay but I get the feeling that he is talking to another gay guy. Like just as Skrillex is in the closet the guy he is talking to is also in the closet. Like he's saying that they are the same as in they are both both gay and they are cowards because they won't openly admit it. It would really be ironic if the guy that popularized Brostep and made techno/dance music appealing to a male audience for the first time is gay.

  General Comment:It's 'Pocket hands, I'm a coward too.' The lyric comes from the song Bells under his work as Sonny.

  General Comment:This reminds me of a dream I had not too long ago. There was this just hideously ugly creature that was extremely helpful and "it" and the villagers in the dream kept referring to a "monster"-I thought they meant "it",but in case in point they did not-they meant me-I looked at myself and I was terrifying. Sorry t.m.i.

    Relax though, looking horrible in a dream is actually normal and really tends to not mean anything.

  General Comment:I highly doubt the song was created for a message, but I'll interpret these lyrics anyways.

  I believe it is from a monster's perspective while telling a child that he need not fear him because of his appearance, and that they are both the same because on the inside he's a coward too.
