Subject- The lyrics of this song raise a recurring problem that everyone faces throughout their lives. Everyone wants to fit in or belong to someone or something. This song can easily be compared to the book Frankenstein, when the reader is introduced to the monster. The monster Victor creates doesn't understand the world he's been placed in or how to operate in everyday society. In the first verse Phil Collins writes, "Whatever you do, I'll do it too. Show me everything and tell me how. It all means something, but nothing to me." In the book the monster says: "Now is the time!". Save me and protect me! You and your family are the friends I'm looking for. Do not abandon me in the hour of trial."

You must create this being.” He begins to realize that this would be the only way to be... middle of paper... made an impact on someone's life when he says, “Now is the time! Save me and protect me!” The monster doesn't want to be judged by how he looks but by how he behaves, just like everyone else in today's society wants to be treated. Tone: There is a very mischievous tone throughout this song and throughout this book. The song is about fitting in and wanting to be just like everyone else. “I want to know, can you show me what I want to know about these strangers like me, tell me more, please show me something familiar about these strangers like me.” The point is that everyone looks the same ultimately, so society shouldn't judge how a person lives their life without basic information. The monster wants to be able to be loved by someone who will not hurt or deny him. "It is warmth and rest that I need." Humans do not accept new things, which makes the
