Lisa Miskovsky quickly placed herself on the Swedish rock music charts with her debut album Lisa Miskovsky and single Driving one of your cars with Swedish releases in 2001. Following this release, she received two Swedish Rock Bear awards; one for Best Swedish Newcomer, and the other for Best Swedish Female Artist of the Year.
She followed up her musical success forcefully with the album Fallingwater, released in 2003, quickly climbing to the very number one spots of Swedish pop charts, even reaching platinum sales. The album's success came greatly from two of its songs Lady Stardust and Sing To Me which both became hits.
Lisa´s third album was called Changes and it was released in august 2006. It sold gold after a couple of months and the singles Mary and Sweet Misery became both hits. Lisa received two Swedish Rock Bear awards, for Best Swedish Female Artist of 2006 and for Best Album 2006.
Some of her music was directed by Joakim Berg, also known as a songwriter for the Swedish rock band Kent, and Simon Nordberg.
Miskovsky is a songwriter as well as a singer and musician, and wrote the lyrics to Shape of My Heart, performed by Backstreet Boys.
Miskovsky contributed vocals to the track Dead End on Come Clarity, the 2006 release from Swedish melodic death metal outfit In Flames. However, she does not actually appear in the band's special edition DVD included in Come Clarity. Instead she appears as "Her body double, 'the Mexican'", who is just a man in the studio with In Flames who sings her parts.
She has recently worked with EA/DICE on the title track Still Alive for the video game Mirrors Edge.
Besides the music, Miskovsky enjoys snowboarding, to the point of participating in the Swedish national snowboard team, and she's also known to be fond of ice hockey as well as surfing.

Lisa Miskovsky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I thought it was possible to love someone new
To forget about you
I've come a long way
And I thought it was possible
To love someone new
I'm stronger than you
Mary, Mary, can't get you out of my head
Mary, Mary, I won't forget what you said
Mary, Mary, can't get you out of my head
We play a new game
Can you feel it racing through my veins straight to you?
So shallow and blue
This is a good day and you're an acquired taste
That I learnt to brew now I got to have you
Mary, Mary, can't get you out of my head
Mary, Mary, I won't forget what you said
Mary, Mary, can't get you out of my head
Love me sister friend, love me until the end
You are all that I've got
I won't forget what you said
You are all that I'm not
Can't get you out of my head
You are all that I've got
Mary, Mary, can't get you out of my head
Mary, Mary, I won't forget what you said
Mary, Mary, can't get you out of my head
Mary, I need you to say (You are all that I've got)
Mary, my love we're the same (You are all that I've got)
Mary, I want you to stay (You are all that I've got)
Mary, my love we're the same
In the song Mary, Lisa Miskovsky sings about trying to move on from someone after a breakup. She sings about how she thought it was possible to love someone new and forget about her previous love, but realizes that she can't get Mary out of her head. Miskovsky admits that she's come a long way in trying to move on and she's stronger than her previous love, but Mary still has a hold on her.
The song is a mix of conflicting feelings - on one hand, Miskovsky wants to move on from Mary, but on the other hand, she wants her to stay and she loves her like a "sister friend." This shows the complex nature of relationships and how difficult it can be to let go of someone entirely, even after a breakup.
Overall, the song Mary is about the struggle of moving on from a past love and the conflicting emotions that come with it. It's a relatable topic that many people can relate to and empathize with.

I've come a long way
I have overcome many difficulties
And I thought it was possible to love someone new
I believed I could replace you with someone else
To forget about you
But I could not forget you
I'm stronger than you
I have become stronger than the pain you caused me
Mary, Mary, can't get you out of my head
I still cannot stop thinking about you, Mary
Mary, Mary, I won't forget what you said
I remember the words you said to me, Mary
We play a new game
I am trying to move on by starting something new
Can you feel it racing through my veins straight to you?
I feel like this new thing is a direct connection to you
So shallow and blue
But this connection is superficial and sad
This is a good day and you're an acquired taste
I am trying to see the positive and appreciate you, Mary
That I learnt to brew now I got to have you
I have learned to love you and cannot let go
Love me sister friend, love me until the end
Please love me, my dear friend, until the end of time
You are all that I've got
You are everything I have left
Can't get you out of my head
I cannot forget you
Mary, I need you to say (You are all that I've got)
Mary, I need you to acknowledge that I have nothing without you
Mary, my love we're the same (You are all that I've got)
Mary, I feel that we are alike and bound together
Mary, I want you to stay (You are all that I've got)
Mary, please do not leave me because you are all I have
