Misty
Caamp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I cant sleep without you
Stay up all night, writing songs about you
Take me on.
And I spend all my days drinking
So I don't have to spend them thinking
And I know that I wont last long this way.
Oh, you got me walking ten miles high
Step off, see if I can fly.
And my best guess, is too far off
And in my chest, the rhythms' gone
And all of the rest, falls to the side
I sit alone in an empty house
Writing notes while im thinking bout
The few folks, I didn't let down
Oh, you got me walking ten miles high
Step off, see if I can fly.
Don't care if I live or die, don't care if I live or die.
The song "Misty" by Caamp is a melancholic love song that explores the pain and longing felt by the singer in the absence of their loved one. The first stanza shows the singer's dependence on their loved one as they cannot eat or sleep without them. The second stanza reveals that the singer spends their days drinking to avoid thinking about their loved one, but they are aware that this is not a sustainable way to deal with their pain, and they won't last long. In the chorus, the singer describes the depth of their love by saying, "you got me walking ten miles high" and that they would be willing to take risks like stepping off to see if they can fly.
The third stanza describes the singer's emotional turmoil as they struggle to find direction without their loved one. They feel lost and out of sync with their own rhythms. However, they still cling to the hope that they will find their way and the few people they didn't let down. In the final chorus, the singer expresses that they no longer care about their fate as long as they can continue to love their partner.
Overall, "Misty" is a raw and vulnerable portrayal of love and heartbreak. The singer is completely consumed by their love for their partner and is willing to go to any lengths to keep that love alive. However, without their partner, they feel lost and out of control.

I've never found a song that has resonated so much with my entire soul.
Even the name
I fell for her, I miss her it's been years.
But it's nice to know I'm not alone.
I guess we've all met or at least some of us have met a "misty"
