Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Mauro Wanna Be	#1 by Mauro Leon at Oct 19, 1972 at 7:54 AM EST
	well, personally i think its talking about berkowitz the son of sam, im not really sure why its just what i see when i hear that song

No Picture Chris Average	#2 by Chris Tucker at Jan 3, 1975 at 8:22 AM EST
	this song is so fuckin tite i wanna crap my pants. the monster under his bed is a dark secret that he has,a burden on his mind. he wants to let people see it, but cant open up. even with this "angel" by his side, the monster's voice is louder. the melancholy sound of this song is incredible; sad yet mysterious. peace.

No Picture zach Wanna Be	#3 by zach miles at Dec 2, 1988 at 4:02 PM EST
	Actually the ending for the song is: Because there's a monster living under my bed Whispering in my ear There's an angel, with a hand on my head She say's I've got nothing to fear La illaha illa Allah We all shine like stars La illaha illa Allah We all shine like stars Then we fade away --------------------------------- Everlast is actually a Muslim, so i guess this is a pretty holy song about redemption and turning back to the light. Monster=Temptation, Angel and the putting lights back on thingie=guidance to the right path...

No Picture Perfect Pervers Rhythm Player	#5 by Perfect Perversion™ at Feb 26, 1991 at 8:37 PM EST
	this was written after the lead singer for everlast had some sort of rare heart attack. its about not knowing if you're going to live tomorrow and for everyone to put your lights on to see what is really going on. The children are the only pure ones.

No Picture Steven Average	#6 by Steven Daniel at Sep 14, 1999 at 5:22 AM EST
	Well, i think this song is about opening up and not being afraid.Not hiding your problems away until they consume you ( hehe....thats me,guilty) Good vs evil, ur conscience,etc. Interesting..."children LEAVE ur lights on" implying this "light" is something we lose as we grow older and more cynical. Anyways, I LOVE this song,I could listen to it for hours(which i almost do.lol) Oh,and I want to have Everlasts babies too.lol.

No Picture chris Average	#7 by chris jenko at Mar 22, 2005 at 8:54 AM EST
	This, I see, is a struggle between all the narrator finds to be good and evil. He is in his dying hour, and is being told by different beings whether or not he will make it into heaven. You have the monster whispering that he belongs to him, and the angel who soothes him with reassuring words. In the end, the speaker is left to give a message to all future generations, to warn them not to end in limbo like the speaker has.

No Picture stephen Average	#8 by stephen warunki at Nov 12, 2006 at 11:46 AM EST
	The song doesn't end with "whooo-ahha hey la la" - it ends with "La ilaha illa Allah," which is much more representative of the nature of the song and Everlast. He had just come out of recovering from a heart attack, and had converted to Islam - hence "La ilaha illa Allah," the first part of the Kalima Shahadah, Islam's declaration of belief in the oneness of God. The Shahadah's daily recitation is one of the five pillars of Islam. Clearly, this is a very spiritual song for Everlast, and it shows in the lyrics.
