Becoming the Monster | NOCTYRA CHOIR

🎧 BECOMING THE MONSTER – Dark Alternative Metal / Metalcore | NOCTYRA CHOIR NOCTYRA CHOIR presents “BECOMING THE MONSTER” — a dark and psychologically intense journey into the most disturbing side of human nature. What makes someone become cruel? Are monsters born… or are they created? This song explores the transformation of an ordinary person into someone capable of manipulation, cruelty and emotional destruction. Someone who begins by blaming their wounds, their past and the people who hurt them — until they finally realize that none of those things can excuse the choices they have made. Sometimes there is no demon to blame. Sometimes the darkness isn't something chasing us. Sometimes… it's something we choose to become. With haunting female vocals, whispers, powerful screams, deep growls, heavily downtuned guitars, cinematic orchestration, dark atmospheric textures and crushing breakdowns, “BECOMING THE MONSTER” moves from quiet psychological tension into pure emotional darkness. The song asks a simple but uncomfortable question: How far can a person go before they stop recognizing themselves? 🖤 Resentment. 🖤 Manipulation. 🖤 Obsession. 🖤 Hatred. 🖤 Power. 🖤 The loss of empathy. 🖤 And the consequences of our own choices. Because sometimes the most frightening monster isn't the one hiding in the darkness. It's the one staring back from the mirror. 🩸 Lyrics I wasn't born this way... At least, that's what I tell myself. Every wound became an excuse. Every excuse became a choice. And every choice... Made me something else. I learned to smile while I was breaking you Learned how to hide what I wanted to do I wore a face that everyone could trust While something underneath was turning into dust I called it survival I called it pain I blamed the world For everything I became But every time I crossed another line I knew exactly what I left behind How many times can you choose the knife Before you forget what it means to be alive? How many victims Before you finally see... The monster wasn't hiding from me. It was me. I'M BECOMING THE MONSTER I SWORE I'D NEVER BE EVERYTHING I HATED IS ALIVE INSIDE OF ME I TURNED LOVE INTO A WEAPON I TURNED TRUST INTO A LIE AND EVERY TIME I BROKE YOU SOMETHING IN ME DIED I'M BECOMING THE MONSTER... AND I DON'T EVEN FEEL ALIVE. I learned exactly where your weakness was Then pushed until I watched you come undone I knew the words that would destroy your mind And said them just to watch you lose your light I called it justice I called it revenge I told myself You deserved what happened next But there was no demon Whispering in my ear... I made the choice. I was the one standing here. I blamed my childhood I blamed my scars I blamed the people Who made me who I am But pain doesn't give me The right to create more pain. And now I see my reflection... And I don't know her name. I'M BECOMING THE MONSTER I SWORE I'D NEVER BE EVERYTHING I HATED IS ALIVE INSIDE OF ME I TURNED LOVE INTO A WEAPON I TURNED TRUST INTO A LIE AND EVERY TIME I BROKE YOU SOMETHING IN ME DIED I'M BECOMING THE MONSTER... AND THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO HIDE. Maybe monsters don't have claws... Maybe they look like you. Maybe they hold someone gently Before they teach them how to hurt. Maybe evil isn't born... Maybe it's built. One choice. One lie. One wound. One more excuse. Until there is nothing left... But the thing we chose to become. NO MORE EXCUSES. NO MORE BLAME. I CHOSE THIS. I FED THE FLAME. YOU CALLED ME HUMAN— BUT LOOK WHAT I BECAME. I AM THE MONSTER. I MADE MY OWN HELL. NO EMPATHY NO REMORSE I CUT THE HUMAN FROM THE CORE NO GOD NO DEVIL NO ONE TO BLAME JUST MY OWN HANDS AND MY OWN NAME I BECAME WHAT I FEARED. I'M BECOMING THE MONSTER AND NOW I FINALLY SEE THE DARKNESS I WAS RUNNING FROM WAS NEVER CHASING ME IT WAS WAITING IN THE MIRROR EVERY TIME I CLOSED MY EYES EVERY PERSON THAT I BROKE IS A PIECE OF ME THAT DIED I'M BECOMING THE MONSTER... AND THIS TIME... I CAN'T LIE. Maybe monsters aren't born... Maybe they're made. One choice at a time. And sometimes... The worst thing you can become... Is exactly who you chose to be. 🖤 NOCTYRA CHOIR Dark stories. Heavy emotions. Cinematic metal.
