Misery
Dead-Lift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I suffer
Lost in the darkest spot
I withered
Sealed in a little box
I suffer
Lost in the darkest spot
I withered
You don't hear of it when it sleeps at night
But when the storm does comes and the sun is gone
It can take any life away
Anxiety
I've lost my comfort
Inside my own head
I will forever
Drown in my pain
Treatening
So sickening
This creepling depression
You're running on your way to self destruction
I bite my tongue
I slit my troat so I can feel the pain
Do you feel me
Still I can't feel a thing
And I know that
No one will ever save me
So I might just die as well
Sealed in a little box
I suffer
Lost in the darkest spot
I withered
And they say that I will see the light
That I'll stop the nightmares
But every now and then I dream
And it is the best of the feelings
It always have this good ending
Where I end up hanging by the throat
But then I wake up
But then I wake up
The lyrics to "Misery" by Dead-Lift depict the emotional struggle and inner torment of the singer. The recurring theme of being "sealed in a little box" symbolizes feeling trapped and suffocated by pain and darkness. The repetition of "I suffer" and "I withered" emphasizes the intense suffering and deterioration of the singer's mental state.
The lyrics suggest that the source of this misery is a river-like force that can take away any life. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for anxiety or depression, which can suddenly and unpredictably consume a person's happiness and well-being. The line "I've lost my comfort inside my own head" highlights the internal nature of the struggle, implying that the singer feels trapped within their own thoughts and emotions.
The lyrics also touch on self-destructive tendencies, as the singer talks about biting their tongue and slitting their throat to feel the pain. This illustrates a desperate desire to escape their internal turmoil, even if it means resorting to harmful actions. The feeling of hopelessness is reinforced with the statement that nobody will ever save them, suggesting a deep sense of isolation and abandonment.
In a conflicting twist, the lyrics mention dreaming as a temporary escape. The dreams are portrayed as having a "good ending" where the singer ends up hanging by the throat. This juxtaposition of relief and despair signifies the complex and paradoxical nature of their emotional state. The mention of waking up suggests that these dreams are not a permanent solution but instead a reminder of the relentless cycle of suffering.
Overall, the lyrics of "Misery" vividly portray the emotional anguish, desperation, and cyclical nature of the singer's inner turmoil.

Anxiety
Feeling overwhelmed by fear and unease
I've lost my comfort
I no longer find solace or relief
Inside my own head
Trapped in my own thoughts and emotions
I will forever
This suffering seems endless and eternal
Drown in my pain
To be overwhelmed and consumed by my anguish
Threatening
Intimidating and menacing
So sickening
Disgusting and repulsive
This creeping depression
A gradual and relentless descent into deep sadness
You're running on your way to self destruction
Engaging in destructive behaviors that are leading to my own downfall
I bite my tongue
I suppress my true feelings and emotions
I slit my throat so I can feel the pain
Mutilating myself to experience physical suffering as a release
Do you feel me
Can you understand and empathize with my pain
Still I can't feel a thing
Despite my efforts, I am numb to any positive emotions
And I know that
I am aware and certain
No one will ever save me
There is no one who can rescue me from this despair
So I might just die as well
Death seems like a possible escape from this relentless suffering
And they say that I will see the light
People tell me that there is hope and happiness ahead
That I'll stop the nightmares
That the haunting and distressing dreams will cease
But every now and then I dream
Occasionally, I experience vivid and unsettling dreams
And it is the best of the feelings
In the dream, I am briefly freed from pain and misery
It always have this good ending
The dream concludes with a positive resolution
Where I end up hanging by the throat
But then, the dream takes a dark turn and I find myself in a state of self-inflicted harm
But then I wake up
Fortunately, the dream ends and I am brought back to reality
