Agnis – Monsters

A Halloween hit with bite: Agnis lets the ‘Monsters’ dance

Agnis has cre­ated a song with Monsters that bal­ances some­where between almost com­mer­cial pop and niche dark pop. Danceable and driv­ing, but with an eer­ie dark­ness that makes it per­fect for dark dance floors. To me, the track sounds like a music­al hybrid of Lady Gaga and mod­ern synth pop ele­ments, with a goth­ic touch that is nev­er too short. Those who move music­ally between club bangers and mel­an­chol­ic twi­light moods will def­in­itely find them­selves here.

The lyr­ics leave no doubt that Agnis not only expresses her­self artist­ic­ally with Monsters, but also con­veys a mes­sage: It's about the struggle to assert one­self, to not let one­self be beaten down and to accept the dark­ness with­in. Lines like "Born in the dirt, & now I'm shed­ding the curse" or "Mastered all my dark­er thoughts, I'm one with the voices in my head" per­fectly con­vey this – this is more than just dark aes­thet­ics, this is a statement.

The driv­ing beats, the slightly dis­tor­ted vocals and the anthem­ic chor­us ensure that it is instantly catchy and def­in­itely has the poten­tial to end up on every Halloween playl­ist in 2025. Monsters is not only spooky, but also club-com­pat­ible – and in a way that pleas­antly stands out from the crowd. If you want to cel­eb­rate your dark side, this is the right track for you.

Lyrics of "Agnis – Monsters"

Watch me – I’m so shinny
Hear me when I’m shouting
Touch me, feel my heart beat
Join me, don’t be shy

I’m walk­ing through the graveyard
And moon­light shines on me bright
Black cel­eb­ra­tion starts
Are you ready
‘Cause we are!

We are immortal
We own the night
We cel­eb­rate all dark creations

Proud to be monsters
With all our scars
We’re dif­fer­ent – that’s what makes us special
Monster nation!
Monster nation!

Watch us when we’re dancing
Hear us singing loudly
Fear us ‘cause we can be
Nightmares from your mind

I’m walk­ing through the graveyard
And moon­light shines on me bright
Black cel­eb­ra­tion starts
Are you ready
Now is you time!

We are immortal
We own the night
We cel­eb­rate all dark creations

Proud to be monsters
With all our scars
We’re dif­fer­ent – that’s what makes us special
Monster nation!
Monster nation!

Red eyes
Black hair
Bat wings
Long fangs
Fur tails
Horned heads
Clawed hands
Are you scared?
We are
Always
Watching
You!

We are immortal
We own the night
We cel­eb­rate all dark creations

Proud to be monsters
With all our scars
We’re dif­fer­ent – that’s what makes us special
Monster nation!
Monster nation!
Monster nation!
Monster nation!
