MOSTRO Lyrics in English gIANMARIA

Home / Lyrics Translation / gIANMARIA / MOSTRO

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song MOSTRO by gIANMARIA from Italian to English.

I kissed you on the forehead, then I left

I kept the kiss you gave me on my face

To not risk anything

I took up a smaller space

What did I miss? I was just distracted, by myself

I drove the car into the garden

’Cause I couldn't wait to come back

Now that, sister of mine, you're a mother

Tell me if we're still siblings

What did I miss? I was just distracted, by myself

And if running outside leaves me still inside

Then I hope I get tired soon

And if by following others, I leave myself behind

I'll do anything to be alone for a moment

But do I look like a monster to you?

Look, I'm okay

What did I miss, I was just distracted, by myself

Now do I look like a monster

I even thought so myself for a second

What did I miss, I was just distracted

I was thinking about me

I left one of my books on the bed

So you'll know I'll come back

But with all the beds I've seen

With what face will I come back?

I wanna enter the conversations determined

But I've missed so much, what do I say?

If you never know what's being talked about, you might as well stay quiet

And if the stars outside kept me awake

It means I had more than one thought

If getting away just takes some space

Then let's give it some meaning

But do I look like a monster to you?

Look, I'm okay

What did I miss, I was just distracted, by myself

Now do I look like a monster

I even thought so myself for a second

What did I miss, I was just distracted

I was thinking about me

Outro

But do I look like a monster

SONG MEANING

gIANMARIA’s MOSTRO invites us into the restless diary of a young man who keeps moving but cannot outrun his own thoughts. He kisses someone on the forehead, shrinks himself to avoid trouble, even drives onto the lawn just to get home sooner. Meanwhile life keeps shifting; his sister is now a mother, new rooms and beds replace the old ones, and he suddenly realises he might have missed something important because he was 'distracted by me.'

In the chorus he pleads, Do I look like a monster? The question is part apology, part self-doubt. He is afraid that by following everyone else he will leave himself behind, yet solitude also scares him. The song jumps between urgent bursts of action and quiet confessions, mirroring that push-and-pull. Far from being a horror story, MOSTRO is a candid reflection on growing up, making mistakes, and learning that the real monster is often just our own uncertainty.
