Paper Monarchs

Hey, there...
Paper Monarchs is a Jungian Nu Metal / Alt Rock / Pop-Rock band.
We explore the emotions and desires you and others suppress:
rage, obsession, despair, lust, fear...
Through songs that may feature abstract symbolism, dark narratives, and highly visceral lyrics
inspired by Jung’s theory and archetypes of
Persona, Shadow, Animus, and Self.
After all...
Our flaws define just as much character as any other trait.
Do they not?
"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes."
- Carl Jung

Jungian [Nu-Metal/Alternative Rock]

The Shadow Within
Explore the duality of existence and the struggle between light and darkness within oneself. The imagery of shadows and tides symbolizes the hidden aspects of the self that often remain unacknowledged. Emotions of anxiety and longing permeate the verses on the complexity of human experience and the shadows that shape our reality.
Dark Souls: Black Blood
Themes of emotional turmoil and the destructive nature of a toxic relationship as a person stops running from their flaws, hidden traumas, and darker impulses, choosing instead to acknowledge them as an inseparable part of their identity. A buildup of betrayal, obsession, and uncontrollable rage portray a man as he enters his partners bedroom in the night, killing her before ultimately killing himself.
Deja Vu
The cyclical nature of pain and regret leave one depicting a sense of familiarity with suffering and failure as they reflect on their struggles, feeling trapped in a repetitive cycle where past mistakes haunt them. Despite attempts to move forward, they find themselves returning to the same painful experiences, evoking a sense of hopelessness and frustration.
