Alt-pop heavyweights PVRIS have returned with a new single and tour. The synth-driven ‘Monster‘ is another big step on their journey after the release of the Use Me album last year.
The new album is seen as part of the bands’ evolution as frontwoman Lynn Gunn stepped forward as leader and architect of the project. She wrote, played all the instruments, and sang on all 11 songs. JT Daly aka K. Flay produced the project.
PVRIS’ nearly month-long US tour kicked off August 6 in Detroit and runs through a sold-out September 2 date at the Fonda Theater in LA. Royal and the Serpent will be opening up on most of these shows.
‘Monster’ is a song about reckoning with outside opinions and expectations put upon oneself. It can be easy to take on the weight of negative situations/opinions, this is about the struggle of releasing those inhibitions and internalizations and returning back to yourself.’
– Lynn Gunn

Lyrics:
Where do I begin?
I can’t explain it
Know you wasted 20 plus years
Like photos fading in
I see ‘em changing all the faces
Waiting up all night
seeing red flags in the morning
It’s a warning a warning
Its a sure sign
Where do I begin?
I can’t explain it
Now you’re wasted
How could you let them do this to you?
How could you let them turn you into a monster?
Your bridge started to burn when you ran all across it
I guess you never learn ‘til you live and you lost it
Live and you lost it
Going on a whim try to erase it
Leaving traces; sweat, blood, tears
find your head on the pavement
Know you’re jaded, sick of playing
Waiting up all night
throwing white flags in the morning
It’s a warning, warning,
Its a sure fire
Going on a whim
try to erase it
all the traces
How could you let them do this to you?
How could you let them turn you into a monster?
Your bridge started to burn when you ran all across it
I guess you never learn ‘til you live and you lost it
Live and you lost it
Monster
in your blood on a cold night
Monster
It’s a curse its a sure sign
Monster
in your blood on a cold night
Monster
It’s a curse!
How could you let them do this to you?
How could you let them turn you into a monster?
Your bridge started to burn when you ran all across it
I guess you never learn ‘til you live and you lost it
Live and you lost it
