Celebrate the Misery
Kill Switch... Klick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A simple crash course destiny
A stagnant mind that would not die
A stranded life that cash could buy
Someone said not knowing me
Celebrate the misery
A smile hardly visible
The place was here and here and here
A warm embrace no longer there
In this freedom he was not free to
Celebrate the misery
Plain as this truth, the pain you see
A simple crash course destiny
The print was fine, illegible
His voice an echo, unparable
His mind taboo, unthinkable, unthinkable, unthinkable
It was something sensed that could not be
Celebrate the misery
