[@caitlynpeterson8773]

He was happy to hear that your 8 year old son is a fan and got to see him live!

[@TrueShotOfficial]

Caitlyn Peterson so cool!!!

[@TrueShotOfficial]

Caitlyn Peterson that’s so great!!

[@werejuststupid]

Holy shit thanks for mentioning he has a Twitch. I really needed something to get a sense of who he is. Only ever watched his interviews.

[@Smithy2222]

Could you share it? I'd like to check that out.

[@BuddzBunnyHD]

I love watching people react to this song when they haven’t watched too much Falling In Reverse. It’s an experience

[@TrueShotOfficial]

Adolescent Punk In Training it was great!!

[@leslyyy_aa]

OMG SAME! I love it

[@Darth_Romans]

Its so insane how much this song brings so many people together too. Everyone is like wow amazing. This song saved me the other night.

[@_Eric_H_1591]

The song is about life pushing you and grinding you down no matter what you do. Never getting ahead. People pushing you in each and every way and then you finally erupt and finally become the monster they think you are.

[@lilwoowoowoozie9242]

my interpretation of the song is that he's talking about depression. 'I wake up every morning with my head up in a daze' people who struggle with depression don't really feel like they're 'participating' in life and they're just kinda on the sidelines watching life pass them by, they often forget what day it is. He talks about people telling him he's just going through a phase, which is true for people who struggle with depression. Those who don't struggle with depression don't understand how hard it really is, and think that those of us who are depressed are just going through a phase or that we can just get over it quickly. He even straight up says 'I battle with depression...' the part where he says 'every wall that I knock down is just a wall that I replace' speaks to the isolation of depression. You put up walls and shut people out. And when you try to open up a little to someone, you realize it was a mistake bc they don't understand what you're going through bc they just think it's a phase and so put walls back up and shut everyone out again. 'I'm a liar, I'm a cheater, I'm a nonbeliever' is saying that he's lying to everyone, he's lying to himself that he's okay, when in reality that couldn't be farther from the truth

[@Swishzors]

Yeah...what else would he be talking about?

[@janetali7610]

WooTheDude this is beautifully said. Everything is so relatable and true.

[@kimmie_g1387]

I love how the people who understand this song have been in the hole of depression.

[@russbradshawmusic]

I personally believe that it's more about what people make him out to be and pretty much saying "this is what you want me to be? Fine. You got it. Now I'm gonna release fucking hell."

[@dontjinxxit5198]

That kids hand was his daughter’s hand. Its supposed to represent how his daughter is the only thing keeping him grounded in life (I think)

[@AelitaVA]

This song never fails to give me goosebumps - especially with the video🖤🖤🖤 I also think Ronnie is a genius👌🏼

[@jimmie5290]

Followed Ronnie's reaction vid to you. I see you've got my style too, so I'll be sticking around over here too! Well done.

[@TrueShotOfficial]

Thank you! Ronnie is awesome!

[@a7XBigEA7x]

Aside from him being the villain and the outside perception he has, it's mainly about depression and mental health. The verses do anyway. I'm like you guys, they've been hit or miss for me but this was instantly added to the playlist.

[@TrueShotOfficial]

Big-E Exactly! Also really liked Losing My Life.

[@auggie2297]

I had to watch probably 30 reaction videos for someone to finally say it. "artistic expression" so much of this is lacking in today's music across all genres thank you for realizing that.

[@blurreaper1238]

[@joshschwarzbauer8155]

What a time to be alive, eh?

[@TrueShotOfficial]

Josh Schwarzbauer seriously!

[@ChewableChewy]

My 2 cents on the title name, i think the general idea is not just about himself and the struggles he is/has been through but just how popular the monster is in every person who is going through some tough times and when people just say its just a phase/ just a stage in life, when all they want to be is ok and normal. In the video he got pushed to far and turned into the monster that was inside him at the end, and once seeing his daughter helped him return to the present and grounded his life to only see what he has done. i'm sure it goes deeper than that but as an overview thats how i saw it.

[@TrueShotOfficial]

Chewable Chewy that’s a great way to look at it!

[@wayneschmid4263]

Love your reactions boys!

coming from an old livestream of them reacting... how have you guys not made a video reacting to his reaction...

It was a long time ago! We’ve seen it 😁❤️

[@_milioanthony381]

FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW- the little girl at the climax of the song is the lead singers daughter. And she's his only anchor back to reality. And she's also been in his songs before

[@USDS_TikTok_Mike]

The lyrics essentially are like you guys said he is popularly viewed as a monster in the eyes of many and the video is more of a metaphor of him basically "becoming the monster" everyone says he is. It's kind of like "oh everyone says I'm a monster, here I'll show you a monster" the lyrics tie in very well with the music video. Just some clarification on some of the things you guys were talking about lyrics wise. Loved the reaction.

[@theoriginalchboi4740]

I feel pretty much the same about this situation as the ADTR song you guys reacted to recently. A singer, ill say, who i have listened to for years, they kinda went in a direction i didnt care for, but this isn't bad. The real reaction here was Adams reaction to the music in his headphones.

[@TrueShotOfficial]

I haven't watched your video, and your reaction won't change my comment. RIP Kyle Pavone we miss you everyday. I own the same shirt.

[@nogames222]

Popular Monster, and Ronnie actually kind of eludes to this... feeling of his often, especially in the album "Fashionably Late" Popular Monster, meaning Ronnie saying, how can he be so popular when he thinks of himself as a monster with all of these issues? Lying, cheating, depression, pain, feeling unlovable, potentially feeling like he isn't enough for his daughter or that hes not a good example for her (hence her inclusion in this video after he killed everyone in his Monster form.) his whole prison scandal, yet we as fans, (or people who just love good music) put him on this pedestal. He references this issue a lot in his fashionably late album. The song "Holding On" has the lyrics, "I thought I had myself all figured out. But I spent my whole life holding myself down. And it seems to be that sort of thing I keep doing constantly. Addicted to the pain I cause myself. My head is floating somewhere in the clouds. While I'm paid to entertain a lovely crowd. They sing my songs and feel my pain. Cause pain is what creates my fame. A vicious cycle someday I'll get out." His fame is built on his pain and whether he can grasp his head around it or not, he's famous for it. At least that's what I feel.

[@2012BigPete]

I took the lyrics as popular monster being the thing its popular to demonize. He's a liar, a cheater, a non believer, 3 things that are demonized in society. He fights against these labels until he cant anymore and accepts and embraces them, fully becoming the monster people already see him as.

[@Nick-ed8gr]

You guys are some of the first people to understand his lyrics while doing a reaction. Ronnie's new album is dedicated to his daughter (who appears in all the music videos on this album). The stories is about him needing to make a change from doing hard drugs so he can be a part of his daughters life and how going down the wrong path almost made him lose his daughter. This song points out how the popular opinion is that he would be a bad father and that he is a bad guy (my interpretation) because of everything. Though he is a great father and loves his daughter more than anything.
