Misfortune
Athena Shouts Kill Her Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or everything that you need is near to the ending
Maybe I won't rise because maybe I'm just dreaming
But at least I know I'll stand a fight till we fall
But this time I think I'm losing the battle
I'll fight back spitting my teeth on the ground
A reality full of rats and filthy corrupted lies
It's the same old story played over and over again
But at least this time don't play two faces
We are sick of words that don't ever mean a shit.
Can't you see the monster that you've created?
We won't goin' down.
So the sun will rise, a new day is coming a new light will shine
Take me back when I was full of hope
Take me back when I used to dream awake
We've been pushed down but once again we're still standing
Let's set this place on fire.
Break down the walls
So the sun will rise, a new day is coming a new light will shine
Take me back when I was full of hope
Take me back when I used to dream awake
Nothing is worth to kick down our hopes
Please don't lose faith, a new light will shine.
The opening lines of Athena Shouts Kill Her's song "MisFortune" set the tone for the rest of the lyrics's message. The vocalist expresses her disappointment and frustration with people who stand for nothing by saying, "Like every time you stand for nothing, or everything that you need is near to the ending." This suggests that people do not take stands when it is necessary or try to fix things before they reach a point of no return. Furthermore, the line "maybe I won't rise because maybe I'm just dreaming" highlights the struggle between hope and despair that is present throughout the song. The singer acknowledges that it might not be possible to win the fight, but it does not mean that she will give up.
As the song progresses, the vocalist reveals the depth of the corruption that is present in the world and how it has become an endless cycle. The lyrics "It's the same old story played over and over again, but at least this time don't play two faces" suggest that people repeatedly make the same mistakes and play different roles, but they must stop and face the problems instead of pretending they do not exist. It is also clear that the singer is not alone in her conviction, as she states "We are sick of words that don't ever mean a shit" and later "We won't goin' down."
The chorus of "MisFortune" is a plea for hope and change. The lines "So the sun will rise, a new day is coming, a new light will shine" and "Take me back when I was full of hope, take me back when I used to dream awake" express a desire for a new beginning, a return to a time when things were not so bleak, and a chance to believe again. Despite the obstacles in their path, the singer urges listeners to persevere and never give up on their dreams.

bel pezzo :) peccato che ogni tanto le chitarre vengano risucchiate dalla batteria quando fanno le cose più melodiche, il chorus finale merita molto!
au revoir simone
bravi che avete messo il testo
