Misery
Disbelief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Place called earth
Can I explain to you, who i am
I'm your worst nightmare
Worst nightmare - worst nightmare
I show no compassion - I've to run
I posses no life - only one aim
Misery - scream for me - bleed for me
Misery - pain you feel pain is real
Pain is real - pain is real
Nobody can rule over me
I realize eternal life
I'm a mischiefmaker - no one can stop me
Misery - kill for me - die for me die!
Misery - be the one - the chosen one
Misery - misery
The opening lines of Disbelief's song Misery are addressed to Earth as an entity, as if it is a living being with whom the singer can communicate. The singer introduces themselves as Earth's worst nightmare, implying that they are an entity that causes destruction and chaos. The repeated refrain of "Worst nightmare - worst nightmare" emphasizes this point, reminding the listener that the singer is not to be taken lightly.
The singer goes on to describe themselves as someone who shows no compassion and has a singular aim of spreading their "horrible deeds." They claim to possess no life, suggesting that they might not be human or even corporeal. The chorus of the song adds to this sense of menace, encouraging listeners to scream, bleed, and feel pain for the singer's amusement. The repetition of "Misery - misery" adds to the sense of an unrelenting, malevolent force.
Overall, the lyrics to Misery paint a picture of a powerful, unstoppable force that revels in destruction and pain. The singer is presented as a kind of anti-hero or villain, with no regard for anyone else's well-being or safety.
