Party Monster Lyrics

Artist: The Weeknd

"Party Monster" by The Weeknd, a track from his album "Starboy," delves into the hedinistic and tumultuous lifestyle often associated with fame. The song articulates a narrative of indulgence in partying, substance use, and fleeting sexual encounters, reflecting on the protagonist's experiences of waking up beside someone whose name he doesn't remember. This motif is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing a cycle of excess and the transient nature of the relationships formed in such a lifestyle. The song's lyrical content combines a celebration of this wild lifestyle with an underlying tine of introspection and self-reflection. The Weeknd mentions the allure of certain physical attributes in women, likening them to iconic figures like Angelina Jolie and Selena Quintanilla, indicating the superficial yet intense attractions that characterize his party-centric narrative. Yet, despite the seemingly carefree and indulgent ethos, there's an element of vulnerability and longing for something more substantial, as suggested by his desire for a girl who would "really understand" him. "Party Monster" is not just a recount of hedonistic exploits but also serves as a commentary on the isolating effects of fame. It paints a vivid picture of navigating a world where excess and enjoyment mask deeper feelings of loneliness and disconnection. The inclusion of paranoia towards the song's end highlights the protagonist's internal conflict and distrust, possibly stemming from the transient and superficial nature of the connections made in such an environment. The song was well-received, charting in various countries and even achieving multi-platinum status in the United States, underlining The Weeknd's ability to blend catchy, pop-influenced sounds with introspective and often dark lyrical themes.

Party Monster Lyrics

Party Monster by The Weeknd

[Refrain: The Weeknd]
I'm good, I'm good, I'm great
Know it's been a while, now I'm mixin' up the drank
I just need a girl who gon' really understand
I just need a girl who gon' really understand
I'm good, I'm good, I'm great
Know it's been a while, now I'm mixin' up the drank
I just need a girl who gon' really understand
I just need a girl who gon' really understand

[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
And I seen her get rich hittin' the pole
I've seen her, I knew she had to know
I've seen her take down that tequila
Down by the liter, I knew I had to meet her
Ooh, she mine, ooh, girl, bump and grind
Ooh, she mine, ooh, girl, bump a line
Angelina, lips like Angelina
Like Selena, ass shaped like Selena

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
I'm like, got up, thank the Lord for the day
Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name
Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name
(Woke up, woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name)
Got up, thank the Lord for the day
Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name
Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name
(Woke up, woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name)

[Refrain: The Weeknd]
I'm good, I'm good, I'm great
Know it's been a while, now I'm mixin' up the drank
I just need a girl who gon' really understand
I just need a girl who gon' really understand
I'm good, I'm good, I'm great
Know it's been a while, now I'm mixin' up the drank
I just need a girl who gon' really understand
I just need a girl who gon' really understand

[Verse 2: The Weeknd]
I been poppin', just took three in a row
I'm down to do it again, I'm on a roll
I've seen him outside tryna reach her
You tryna leave him, you said I'm the reason
Tell me lies, ooh, girl, tell me lies
Say you're mine, I'm yours for the night
I'm the realest, she said I'm the realest
Head be genius, dick game be the meanest

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
I'm like, got up, thank the Lord for the day
Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name
Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name
(Woke up, woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name)
Got up, thank the Lord for the day
Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name
Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name
(Woke up, woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name)
[Bridge: The Weeknd]
Yeah
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Oh, yeah (Yeah)
Got up, thank the Lord for the day
Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name
b**ches in my new spot, crowdin' up my space
Had to check the safe, check the dresser for my chains
Got up, thank the Lord for the day
Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name
b**ches in my new spot, crowdin' up my space
Had to check the safe, check the dresser for my chains

[Interlude: The Weeknd & Lana Del Rey]
Paranoid (Paranoid)
Paranoid (Oh, paranoid)
Paranoid (Oh, paranoid)
But I see somethin' in you (You're paranoid)
Paranoid (Paranoid)
Paranoid (Oh, paranoid)
Paranoid (Oh, paranoid)
But I see somethin' in you (I see somethin' in you)

[Outro: The Weeknd & Lana Del Rey]
(Got up, thank the Lord for the day)
(Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name)
(Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name)
(Woke up, woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name)
(Got up, thank the Lord for the day)
(Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name)
(Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name)
(Woke up, woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name)
You're paranoid
