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.

Overdose
Lisa Miskovsky Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never never smoked no cigarettes
I never drank much booze
But I'm only a woman
Don't you understand
And a woman can sometimes loose
You gave me something I never had
Pulled me down with you
Bring me up

I think I'm in love
Hope you can pull me through

I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy but it true
Ain't nothing I can do
I overdosed on you

Oh man
You give to me
More than I can take
And listen honey
I don't mind
Because you're habit I don't wanna break

Don't want none
Of the hardest stuff
Don't need it anymore
I'm in love
And I'm sinking fast
I don't need no current

Gee I was happy
As a woman could be
Too far gone to escape
The power of love
Don't pull me off
Just write on my grave

I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy but it true

Ain't nothing I can do
I overdosed on you account check

Overall Meaning

In Lisa Miskovsky's song Overdose, the lyrics describe the intense feelings of love and addiction to another person. The singer is a woman who admits to not indulging in smoking or drinking, but she is still vulnerable to the overwhelming emotions of love. She pleads with her partner to help her through this addiction, knowing that she can't control it on her own. The lyrics use drug addiction as a metaphor for the intensity of the feelings she has for her partner.

The chorus declares that the singer has overdosed on her partner and that she can't control her feelings, no matter how crazy or irrational they may be. She acknowledges that her addiction is dangerous, but is willing to risk it all for the sake of love. The final stanza suggests that the singer is already too far gone and is willing to be consumed by the intensity of her love, even if it means that she will never be free from it.
