I’m not quite atheist, I just don’t know or care if some omnipotent prick is sitting by and letting brutal things happen to innocence. She’s still suicidal and has openly admitted that faith doesn’t help much. My wife is Christian and very faithful and is helping to raise our beautiful children to be the same way. Sometimes it takes trying several different medications to get the one or ones that are right for you. My hope is that maybe this song can help others who may be suffering in silence. I love how the writer didn’t hold back and is so honest with his thoughts and emotions. That part is unbelievably powerful and so raw! I never was a nonbeliever but during those dark days I was screaming/crying out to God “where are you?” Luckily, I kept pursuing Him and He came through for me. I am a Christian but the part of the song where he screams out “where is your god now” gives me chills every time. Whoever wrote this song did an amazing job expressing what someone with depression/anxiety goes through.
I didn’t want to take the medicine they prescribed because I really didn’t think it would work but it did! I’m still on it and will never stop taking it. Just like the song says, I just wanted to feel okay. I didn’t want to kill myself but I didn’t want to live. I have never wanted to die but I did back then. Depression and anxiety weren’t talked about like today.It was one of the scariest times in my life. It was a living hell and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. This song is powerful! I suffered in silence for 3 months with daily panic attacks and depression back in the 90’s at the age of 24, then checked myself into a hospital. Did you enjoy the music video?

Let us hear what you think about “Popular Monster” by Falling in Reverse. So what is the purpose and result of the divine power out there? He says “we’re sick and tired” and “we’re searching for the truth.” The idea behind this could be that both believers and non-believes end up with the same fate. However, in these lyrics, he speaks for the masses. He has already confessed to being a non-believer and maybe his condition is due to that. In the bridge of the song, Ronnie directs a question at all the believers. Every passing day is a reminder that he is getting closer to his date of expiry, and with him having no grip on reality, the date might come sooner. But Ronnie knows that he is dealing with this condition for a much longer period than he would care to admit for. The therapist is of the opinion that Ronnie is going through a stage and it will pass. The singer’s therapist seems to be as little help as anyone around him. That is his defence mechanism against breaking apart and in turn his own entrapment. When he tries to break down all the falls around him that trap him, unconsciously he builds more around him. You are constantly feeling trapped inside a maze with no exits. Nothing makes you feel, and nothing makes you smile anymore. The second verse is yet another reminder of how derailed life is under the effects of depression, stress and anxiety. One step out of the way of anybody, and you will end up making headlines.
Your life will be on display and you will be monitored day in and out. Popularity also brings in severe privacy restrictions and a blinding spotlight. But it is not unlikely that these highs have their own downs as well. With an estimated net worth of $4.5 in 2019 and a significant fan base around the world, Ronnie must be enjoying the limelight. The term ‘popular monster’ could allude to his success in the music industry. He admits that he is a liar, a cheater, a non-believer (usually against Christian faith) and worse so a popular monster. In the chorus of the song, Ronnie Radke admits his mistakes. But this makes the singer even angrier as this is definitely not a phase.

Doctors have the professional opinion that it is just a phase. This is one of the worst combinations ever and he has no grip on his life. His inner demons are a culmination of post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression. He is neck-deep in his own inner demons and there is no pill to make them go away. In the first verse of “Popular Monster,” Ronnie tries his best to explain what he is going through. This is an externalization of the inner demons inside of him. We come to realize, late on in the video, that the band’s frontman, Ronnie Radke, transforms himself into a werewolf and goes on a killing spree.
This scene makes way to a gruesome murder spree somewhere else in the building. The music video for “Popular Monster” shows Falling in Reverse performing the song in a darkened and abandoned building.
