Misery
Battlecross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't have to bleed like this anymore
Who will end your pain for you who end all your suffering
Who will end your pain for you who end all your suffering
Beg for mercy
Now that you have brought this on yourself you will repent
Now that you are trapped in this hell you will live in misery
Strip you of everything that has made you
Everything that made you believe in yourself
Who will end your pain for you who end all your suffering
Who will end your pain for you who end all your suffering
Now that you have brought this on yourself you will repent
Now that you are trapped in this hell you will live in misery
Drown in self-pity
Write off all of your life's accomplishments
BLEED
Take one good look at who you are
Know you've done this to yourself
To know there is only one way out
Just end it all
Go and kill yourself
Cus who cares now
You burned the bridge
Now you will drown in misery
Misery
In Battlecross's song "Misery", the lyrics seem to be addressing someone who is going through a lot of pain and suffering, and is at the point where they are begging for mercy. The chorus repeats the question of who will end their pain and suffering, suggesting that they are looking to someone, anyone, for help. However, the verses hint that the person's suffering may have been caused by their own actions, as they are now being stripped of everything that had previously made them believe in themselves. The lines "now that you have brought this on yourself you will repent / now that you are trapped in this hell you will live in misery" suggest that the person may be facing the consequences of their own actions, and that there may be no escape from the misery they are experiencing. The final lines of the song are particularly bleak, with the suggestion that the only way out may be to "just end it all".
Overall, the lyrics of "Misery" seem to be exploring themes of pain, suffering, and self-destructive behavior. While the song could be interpreted in different ways, it seems to suggest that sometimes we may be our own worst enemies and that our actions can lead to our own downfall. The repeated question of who will end the person's suffering is left unanswered, perhaps suggesting that sometimes there is no one who can help us but ourselves.
