Misery
Big Troubles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's always such a drag
It's always such a shame
Go on and have a laugh
'Cause it's always the same
And it's always the same
And even the days are waking up
I'm still asleep
I just wanna
I just wanna have some fun
I just wanna
I just want to fly for once

I always play the clown
In all my misery
It's bringing me down
As far as you could see
As far as you can see
And even the days are waking up
I'm still asleep

I just wanna
I just wanna have some fun
I just wanna
I just want to fly for once
I just wanna
I just wanna have some fun




I just wanna
I just want to fly for once

Overall Meaning

The lyrics "It's always such a drag, It's always such a shame, Go on and have a laugh, 'Cause it's always the same" seem to reveal the singer's frustration with their current situation. The repetition of "always" emphasizes a sense of monotony and boredom. The next line "And even the days are waking up, I'm still asleep" suggests a feeling of detachment from the world around them. The singer is stuck in a rut and unable to move forward, feeling as though they are in a state of perpetual sleep.


The chorus "I just wanna have some fun, I just want to fly for once" adds an element of escapism. The singer yearns for something more, something beyond their current reality. The line "I always play the clown, In all my misery, It's bringing me down, As far as you could see" could be interpreted as the singer's attempt at covering up their pain by making jokes and putting on a facade of happiness. However, this is taking a toll on them emotionally and is causing them to feel even more down.


Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of frustration, boredom, and a desire for something more. The singer is stuck in a cycle of misery and wants to break free and experience joy.
