Misery
Eva Under Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If there exists the time and place
I know I'll be alright but
All I want is you
Lead me through the doorway
I'm the barfly on the wall
Hear their barking laughter
But all I want is you
It's three A.M. on this rooftop
I'm way up here and it won't stop
High above these city streets
Where only I believe
I am someone
I am someone
I know I can feel it now
Oh if you knew you'd be proud
If you saw me now
I'm hanging where the walls meet
In the corner by the hall
No one sees me smiling
And all I want is you
I'd probably feel more at home
Join in on their parade
But I've seen better days
And all I want is you
It's three AM on this rooftop
I'm way up here and it won't stop
High above these city streets
Where only I believe
I am someone
I am someone
I know I can feel it now
Oh if you knew you'd be proud
If you saw me now
If you could see me now
I'm hanging where the walls meet
In the corner by the hall
No one sees me smile
I know it's always you
It's three AM on this rooftop
I'm way up here and it won't stop
High above these city streets
Where only I believe
I am someone
I am someone
I know I can feel it now
Oh if you knew you'd be proud
If you saw me now
Now now
Now now
Now
The lyrics of Eva Under Fire's song "Misery" express a sense of loneliness and isolation, while at the same time hinting at the possibility of hope and redemption. The singer is seeking a "time and place" where they are needed, and all they want is the presence of someone they love. The setting of the song is three A.M. on a rooftop, high above the city streets, where the singer feels alone but also believes in their own worth as a person. They express a desire to be seen and acknowledged by the person they love, stating that if that person knew of their struggles, they would be proud.
The lyrics also touch on themes of alienation and self-doubt. The singer is positioned as a "barfly on the wall" and someone who is unnoticed or forgotten in a crowded room. They feel like an outsider, separated from the rest of the world by the walls around them. However, the repeating refrain of "I am someone" suggests that the singer is striving to assert their identity and find a sense of belonging. Overall, the lyrics of "Misery" convey a complex mix of emotions, ranging from despair to resilience.

Take me where I'm needed
I want to be of help to someone or something
If there exists the time and place
If there is an opportunity for me to be of service
I know I'll be alright but
I have the confidence and ability to handle the situation, but
All I want is you
I still desire your presence above everything else
Lead me through the doorway
Guide me and show me the way forward
I'm the barfly on the wall
I am an observer, watching from a distance
Hear their barking laughter
I am aware of the mocking and ridicule around me
But all I want is you
Even though I'm surrounded by others, I still crave your company
It's three A.M. on this rooftop
I'm awake and alone at an odd hour, on a high place
I'm way up here and it won't stop
Despite being in a high place, my thoughts and feelings don't subside
High above these city streets
I'm on top of the world, yet still feel empty
Where only I believe
I'm the only one that feels and understands my situation
I am someone
I know I have value and a purpose
I am someone
I have the strength and resilience to overcome
I know I can feel it now
I'm in tune with my emotions and can perceive my worth
Oh if you knew you'd be proud
If you knew how much I've overcome, you would be impressed
If you saw me now
If you witnessed my current state, you would understand my struggles
I'm hanging where the walls meet
I'm blending in and trying to stay unnoticed
In the corner by the hall
I'm keeping to myself, staying in one place
No one sees me smiling
I'm putting on a facade and hiding my true emotions
And all I want is you
Despite my efforts to conceal my feelings, I still crave your presence
I'd probably feel more at home
I would feel comfortable blending in with the crowd
Join in on their parade
I could participate in their activities and events
But I've seen better days
I've experienced happier and more fulfilling times
And all I want is you
Despite the possibility of feeling content with others, I still desire your companionship
Now now
I'm pleading for a change, begging for consolation
Now now
I want relief and solace immediately
Now
I need you now

Amanda first time I heard your song Heroine it really hit close to home for me. I never struggled with addiction but something much worse and one the ways I would escape from my fucked sense of reality. Was lacing and writing lyrics if you are interested just ask be happy to share.
But I commend you as I did not let my demons consume the truth is I should've been murder 100 times over!!!
But the fact is I beat all odds and alive today because of Me period
Yes those consume with emotion will always be in fear of the unknown and walking with Darkness in its bliss Solace to me it is not a place of depravity but one of welcoming embrace " ApeX
I wish you and your family Nollaig Shona

Lyrics
Oh, in misery
Like fire on the first day
Higher than a jet plane
I never knew that it could feel this way
I was too far gone
I was too far in
And I didn't see it coming
But our love was just too steep
And I, before I knew it I was in too deep
I shoulda, shoulda known
You were wrong in the worst way
In the worst way
In the worst way
I'm gonna walk away
You make me wanna scream
End it all and leave
Strike the match and burn our names
In flames
Gasoline
You'll forever be
In misery
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, in misery
Oh, oh, oh
Set fire to the airwaves
Every word that you say
Is never ever worth the time of day
You wrote a lot of lies
Trying to cash in
And I shoulda seen it coming
Our love was just too deep
And now, you're drowning in a sea of misery
I shoulda, shoulda known
You were wrong in the worst way
In the worst way
In the worst way
I'm gonna make you pay
You make me wanna scream
End it all and leave
Strike the match and burn our names
In flames
Gasoline
You'll forever be
In misery
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, in misery
Oh, oh, oh
Go on and light the fire
Just to watch it burn
Go and light the fire
You're gonna get what you deserve
Oh, oh, oh
In misery
Oh, oh, oh
You make me wanna scream
End it all and leave
Strike the match and burn our names
In flames
Gasoline
You'll forever be
You make me wanna scream
It's like a bad dream
Strike the match and burn our names
In flames
Gasoline
You'll forever be
In misery
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, in misery
Oh, oh, oh
In misery
Egi Setiawan
Oh, in misery
Like fire on the first day
Higher than a jet plane
I never knew that it could feel this way
I was too far gone
I was too far in
And I didn't see it coming
But our love was just too steep
And I, before I knew it I was in too deep
I shoulda, shoulda known
You were wrong in the worst way
In the worst way
In the worst way
I'm gonna walk away
You make me wanna scream
End it all and leave
Strike the match and burn our names
In flames
Gasoline
You'll forever be
In misery
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, in misery
Oh, oh, oh
Set fire to the airwaves
Every word that you say
Is never ever worth the time of day
You wrote a lot of lies
Trying to cash in
And I shoulda seen it coming
Our love was just too deep
And now, you're drowning in a sea of misery
I shoulda, shoulda known
You were wrong in the worst way
In the worst way
In the worst way
I'm gonna make you pay
You make me wanna scream
End it all and leave
Strike the match and burn our names
In flames

You'll forever be
In misery
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, in misery
Oh, oh, oh
Go on and light the fire
Just to watch it burn
Go and light the fire
You're gonna get what you deserve
Oh, oh, oh
In misery
Oh, oh, oh
You make me wanna scream
End it all and leave
Strike the match and burn our names

You'll forever be
You make me wanna scream
It's like a bad dream
Strike the match and burn our names
In flames
Gasoline
You'll forever be
In misery
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, in misery
Oh, oh, oh
In misery

Okay. This was the very first song I’d ever heard by this band, and it was from Facebook, and now I have literally listened to every single one of their songs multiple time because I’m obsessed! I wish there were lyrics so I could learn to sing it!
