The song is included as a playable track in Guitar Hero Live. I think the song is about being drawn into the life of a sociopath, whether as a friend or lover. I think the song is about someone recognizing he is a sociopath, not caring about it and trying to drag someone into a relationship (lust in my tongue can be a reference to this, as it can be speaking about sex and about the ability to convince with words as well) – yet giving them a warning (I say run little monster before you know who I am). ... We have an official Little Monster tab made by UG professional guitarists. So this warning is some kind of tease.

"Little Monster" is a song written by Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher of British rock duo Royal Blood. All tracks produced by Tom Dalgety with Kerr and Thatcher. “Little Monster” was released as the second single off of Royal Blood. Little Monster Lyrics: Hey little monster, I got my eye on you / Where are you going, where you running to? The chorus pulls from both perspectives and kinda describes how the relationship works. Difficulty: novice. It was also previously featured on Royal Blood’s debut ep Out Of The Black. I think this speaks about a toxic relationship, from the point of view of a sociopath, drawing a “monster” (someone who’s been or is going through hard times emotionally and can’t quite connect with herself), into some kind of scheme and manipulation.
