歌词
I killed my first monster when I was seven years old
七岁那年我不再畏惧房间里的小怪兽
He melted like butter in my bathroom's sixty-watt bulb
它在浴室六十瓦灯泡的光影下，变成融化的黄油流走了
Kept a three-cell MagLite from Daddy's workshop drawer
每晚睡前都要从老爸店里的抽屉里，拿出三电池驱动的大功率手电筒
Under my pillow and I'd pull it like a sword
把它藏到我的枕头下，成为我对抗那怪物的武器
Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night
现在不再有那样的不安让我无法入睡了
Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light
它不再爬上我的膝盖，我也不再持光驱赶
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said
我的信仰矢志不渝，让我的主能日日听到我的祷告
'Cause I've learned that
因为长大后的我知道了
The monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
真正的怪兽并不在我的床下
The wolf hunts a hungry man and the devil a lonely heart
弱小的人会被野狼捕食，就像内心的恶魔在心灵脆弱时才有机可乘
A minefield of bad decisions lay hidin' in the dark
脑子里的阴暗想法藏在不自知的小角落
Greed stalks, sickness steals, and pride lays a wicked trap
贪婪的茎叶得意地布下恶毒的陷阱，准备着下一盘大餐
You can't avoid 'em all, no, you gotta trust me on that
这些阴暗想法时不时冒上脑尖，人人都一样
Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night
但现在不再有那样的不安让我无法入睡了
Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light
它不再爬上我的膝盖，我也不再持光驱赶
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said
我的信仰矢志不渝，让我的主能日日听到我的祷告
'Cause I've learned that
因为长大后的我知道了
The monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
真正的怪兽并不在我的床下
Daddy, check my closet, leave on the bathroom light
老爸打开我的抽屉，留下浴室的灯光帮我驱赶怪兽
I smile and say "All clear" when I tuck him in for the night
笑着说自己不怕了，和那只手电筒一起进入梦乡
But Daddy, I'm still scared, can I sleep with you instead?
但老爸，我还是害怕，你能否在夜晚紧紧抱着我
I kneel down beside my little man and I bow my head
我屈下膝盖对着我的孩子唱到
Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night
现在不再有那样的不安让你无法入睡了
Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light
它不再爬上你的膝盖，你也无需再持光驱赶
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said
你的信仰会矢志不渝，你的主能会日日听到我的祷告
'Cause I've learned that
因为长大后，你会知道
The monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
真正的怪兽从来都不在任何人的床下
I've learned that the monsters ain't underneath the bed
真正的怪兽从来都不在任何人的床下啊
