Ivy Levan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said you won't then you go and do it again
Now I don't trust you, can't hear what you say
Cause I know what you'll do to get your way
Oh sometimes the one that you think that you love turns out to be a fake
I hope you're happy for all of the misery you made
I hope you're happy for all of the misery you made
You're gonna carry that weight, carry that weight
You're gonna carry that weight
For all the misery you made
Tell me that story, sliding right through your teeth
But you got someone else all over your sleeve
Stop trying to be clever, we both know your not
You only act like you care cause you got caught
Oh sometimes the one that you think that you love turns out to be a fake
I hope you're happy for all of the misery you made
I hope you're happy for all of the misery you made
And I hope it follows you down to your grave
You're gonna carry that weight, carry that weight
You're gonna carry that weight
For all the misery you made
The misery you made
The misery you made
For all the misery you made
In Ivy Levan's song "Misery," the singer addresses someone who has repeatedly lied and broken their trust. The verses describe the singer's disbelief and frustration towards the person's actions, pointing out their dishonesty in telling a story and having someone else on their sleeve. The chorus, however, expresses the singer's hope that the person will eventually face the consequences of their actions and carry the weight of the misery they caused. The repetition of "I hope you're happy" highlights the bitterness and resentment the singer feels towards the person.
The song captures the emotions that come with betrayal and the struggle to move on from someone who has hurt you deeply. The line "sometimes the one that you think that you love turns out to be a fake" is a powerful reminder of the vulnerability and self-doubt that can come with love and relationships.
Overall, "Misery" is a raw and honest portrayal of the aftermath of a broken trust and the singer's struggle to come to terms with it.
