Misery
Millington Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Want to see if it left a scar
And if you saw my heart
Would you humor me and ask me how it feels?
(But it’s alright)
When nothing seems the way it was before
(But it’s alright)
I just feel like I don’t see you anymore
In a brand new home with walls made out of stone
(I brought the TNT to set you free)
But it wouldn’t matter at all
‘Cause this is Misery
You smile brighter in a memory
But you’re still haunting me
The last thing that you said stuck on repeat
And I can hear it in my sleep
But this time no one's answering
Sharp crack like a broken arm
Want to see if it left a scar
Do you have a heart?
Or did you tear it all apart?
(Hey, it’s alright)
If you don’t feel the way you did before
(Hey, it’s alright)
I just feel like I don’t know you anymore
So I’ll avoid your eyes
Like a face in a grocery store
We didn’t slam the door
I just feel like I don’t know you anymore
Now that you’re on your own
In a brand new home with walls made out of stone
(I brought the TNT to set you free)
But it wouldn’t matter at all
‘Cause this is Misery
You smile brighter in a memory
But you’re still haunting me
The last thing that you said stuck on repeat
And I can hear it in my sleep
But this time no one's answering
The lyrics to Millington's song "Misery" convey a sense of heartbreak and emotional turmoil. The opening line, "Sharp crack like a broken arm, want to see if it left a scar," suggests a physical pain that parallels the emotional hurt being experienced. The singer might be seeking validation of their pain, hoping that it is visible and recognized by others. They express a desire for someone to ask how their heart feels, possibly yearning for empathy or understanding.
The chorus, with the repetition of "But it's alright," seems to indicate a resigned acceptance of the situation. Despite the pain and the feeling of disconnect from the person they are addressing, the singer tries to reassure themselves that they will be okay. The line "I just feel like I don't see you anymore" speaks to a breakdown in communication and intimacy, as if the other person has changed or become distant.
The bridge introduces a metaphorical image of the other person being in a new home with walls made of stone, representing a sense of isolation and detachment. The singer's mention of bringing TNT to set the other person free suggests that they had hoped to initiate a change or liberation, but realizes that it wouldn't make a difference. The repetition of "Misery" emphasizes the ongoing pain and haunting presence of the other person.

Sharp crack like a broken arm
There was a sudden, painful sound like a broken arm
Want to see if it left a scar
I want to know if it caused a lasting mark
And if you saw my heart
If you could see the state of my emotions
Would you humor me and ask me how it feels?
Would you kindly indulge me by inquiring about my emotions?
(But it’s alright)
(But it's okay)
When nothing seems the way it was before
When everything feels different from how it used to be
(But it’s alright)
(But it's okay)
I just feel like I don’t see you anymore
I simply feel like I've lost sight of who you are
Now that you’re on your own
Now that you're independent
In a brand new home with walls made out of stone
Living in a new place with unyielding barriers
(I brought the TNT to set you free)
(I thought I could help you find liberation)
But it wouldn’t matter at all
But it wouldn't make any difference
‘Cause this is Misery
Because this is a state of suffering
You smile brighter in a memory
In my recollections, your smile appears more radiant
But you’re still haunting me
Yet, you continue to linger in my thoughts
The last thing that you said stuck on repeat
I can't stop replaying the last words you uttered
And I can hear it in my sleep
It echoes in my mind even while I'm asleep
But this time no one's answering
However, this time, there is no response from anyone
Do you have a heart?
Do you possess any empathy?
Or did you tear it all apart?
Or did you completely destroy it?
(Hey, it’s alright)
(Hey, it's okay)
If you don’t feel the way you did before
If you no longer feel the same as you did previously
(Hey, it’s alright)
(Hey, it's okay)
I just feel like I don’t know you anymore
I simply feel like I've lost familiarity with who you are
So I’ll avoid your eyes
Therefore, I will purposefully avoid making eye contact with you
Like a face in a grocery store
Similar to passing by a stranger's face in a supermarket
We didn’t slam the door
We didn't forcefully close the door
I just feel like I don’t know you anymore
I simply feel like I've lost familiarity with who you are
Now that you’re on your own
Now that you're independent
In a brand new home with walls made out of stone
Living in a new place with unyielding barriers
(I brought the TNT to set you free)
(I thought I could help you find liberation)
But it wouldn’t matter at all
But it wouldn't make any difference
‘Cause this is Misery
Because this is a state of suffering
You smile brighter in a memory
In my recollections, your smile appears more radiant
But you’re still haunting me
Yet, you continue to linger in my thoughts
The last thing that you said stuck on repeat
I can't stop replaying the last words you uttered
And I can hear it in my sleep
It echoes in my mind even while I'm asleep
But this time no one's answering
However, this time, there is no response from anyone

Looking Cool, Joker!
@Millington If you guys did a Life Will Change cover, I think my head would explode.
Meanwhile, if you ever get stuck (battle-wise), don't be afraid to withdraw Messiah Picaro from the compendium, if you didn't already know about him. I've gotten 100%/Platinum on both P5 and P5R! It's my favorite game of all time (clearly)!
