Unfortunate Soul
Kailee Morgue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wooden cage where I lay
Would you let me out to play
Crystal heart in the graveyard
I think it's time for a new start

Blinded eyes to my surprise
You long to see what you can't find
Flightless bird I know you're hurt
It's not the life that you deserve

And I want you to know that

I'm an unfortunate soul
Unlucky yeah I've been told
I've still got room to grow

I'm an unfortunate soul
It's just the way that I roll
Cruising the highs and the lows

Shattered bones and dead end roads
Faded maps, where do I go?
Stepped on cracks and broken backs
My mother knows I love her so

Ripped up shoes they will make do
There's places I'd like to go to
Daydreaming what could have been
But I know I'm not made to win

And I want you to know that

I'm an unfortunate soul
Unlucky yeah I've been told
I've still got room to grow

I'm an unfortunate soul
It's just the way that I roll
Cruising the highs and the lows

Who says that I can't be tough
Be a diamond in the rough
That I just can't be loved
I think enough's enough

Who says that I can't be tough
Be a diamond in the rough
That I just can't be loved
I think enough's enough

And I want you to know that

I'm an unfortunate soul
Unlucky yeah I've been told
I've still got room to grow

I'm an unfortunate soul
It's just the way that I roll
Cruising the highs and the lows

I'm an unfortunate soul
Unlucky yeah I've been told
I've still got room to grow

I'm an unfortunate soul
It's just the way that I roll
Cruising the highs and the lows





And I want you to know that

Overall Meaning

The song "Unfortunate Soul" by Kailee Morgue is a powerful anthem of self-acceptance and perseverance. The lyrics speak to the experience of feeling trapped in one's circumstances, longing for a chance at something new and better. The imagery of a "wooden cage" and a "crystal heart in the graveyard" evoke a sense of being stuck in a dead-end situation, but the singer refuses to give up hope. The line "I think it's time for a new start" signals a resolve to break free and pursue a different path.


The second verse shifts the focus to the listener, with the singer acknowledging their struggles as well. The metaphor of a "flightless bird" conveys a sense of vulnerability and pain, and the line "It's not the life that you deserve" suggests that the singer empathizes with the listener's plight. Ultimately, the chorus serves as a rallying cry for anyone who has been told they are "unlucky" or "not good enough." The repeated affirmation "I've still got room to grow" encourages listeners to keep pushing forward, even in the face of adversity.


Overall, "Unfortunate Soul" is a deeply relatable and inspiring song that captures the universal feeling of wanting more out of life. It's an anthem for those who refuse to give up on themselves and their dreams.

"Unfortunate Soul"

Wooden cage where I lay
Would you let me out to play?
Crystal heart in the graveyard
I think it's time for a new start

Blinded eyes to my surprise
You long to see what you can't find
Flightless bird I know you're hurt
It's not the life that you deserve

And I want you to know that...

Unlucky, yea I've been told
I've still got room to grow

(Na, Na, Na, Na!)

I'm an unfortunate soul
It's just the way that I roll
Cruising the highs and the lows

(Na, Na, Na, Na!)

Shattered bones and dead end roads
Faded maps, where do I go?

My mother knows I love her so

Ripped up shoes they will make do

But I know I'm not made to win

And I want you to know that...

I'm an unfortunate soul
Unlucky, yea I've been told

I think enough's, enough

Who says that I can't be tough?
Be a diamond in the rough
