Slept With A Monster

## Audio

"**Slept With A Monster**" (rejecting common title-case) is a stand-alone single release by record producer and musician nativeto​Earth, featuring Remi Wolf's vocals alongside a saxophone accompaniment by Aaron Reihs. The 2017 track is labeled as Remi's earliest distributed release outside of her band Remi & Chloe.

Even though the track was not announced before its release, Remi as well as her long-time friend Elizabeth Cohen had been friends with nativetoEarth previously, so fans could assume the collaboration would be put into motion at some point. The song's release, however, was announced on nativetoEarth's Instagram,

along with Remi's post on the publication,

## Theme

The lyrical content describes a toxic relationship between the narrator's POV and someone else, a 'monster'—in 'I slept with a monster'—being a reference to the significant other as the narrator comes across a realization that the person they are dating is not the person they want to be in a relationship with.

## Lyrics

An asterisk (**\***) represents a saxophone compliment played along with that section.

**[Verse 1]**

I play my telecaster to give you satisfaction

And I find a thrill in action

Will you take my satisfaction?

**[Pre-Chorus]**

So I roll with it

I just keep on movin' faster

Rollin' with it

Even when the air is stuck, I'm

Rollin' with it

Even when you tell me I'm a liar

**[Chorus]**

I realize I slept with a monster

I feel like nobody can have your heart

I realize I slept with a monster

I feel like nobody can have your heart

**[Verse 2]**

You know just how to please me

And It's just a bit too tempting

And you know just how to hurt me

And I convince myself it's worth it

**[Pre-Chorus]**

So I roll with it

I just keep on movin' faster

Rollin' with it

Even when the air is stuck, I'm

Rollin' with it

Even when you tell me I'm a liar

**[Saxophone Interlude]**

**[Pre-Chorus]**\*

Ro-ooh-roll with it

Even when we're in the dark, I'm

Rollin' with it

Even when the air is stuck, I'm

Rollin' with it

Even when you tell me I'm a liar

**[Chorus]**\*

I realize I slept with a monster

I feel like nobody can have your heart

I realize I slept with a monster

I feel like nobody can have your heart

I realize I slept with a monster

I feel like nobody can have your heart

**[Outro]**\*
