Hotel
Miserable Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dilated eyes
City twice the size you right next to me i
Can hardly speak
Hard time in our lives
I′m pretty sure we are seeing things
Don't forget to breathe
Staring at your perfect mouth oh how closed off i′ve become
I can't look you in the eyes they are shining
Like the sun and brooklyn is so full of sleaze
I don't wanna be that way
I know you say you′ve got nothing to
Say i just hope we make it into the day
Sunrise in a hotel
Want you in a fucked up way stay awake a little longer
And i get stuck inside my head
When i am with all my friends
When i hear the music play
It just reminds me of the void and new york is so full of sleaze
I don′t wanna be that way i know you say you've got nothing to say
I just hope we make it into the day
Sunrise in a hotel want you in a fucked up way
Stay awake a little longer
Dilated eyes




City twice the size you right next to me
I can hardly see

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Hotel" by Miserable depict a couple's struggles and emotional turmoil while staying in a hotel in New York City. The singer is in a vulnerable state, overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of the bustling city and their personal problems. The dilated eyes of the couple suggest that they might have taken drugs or they're just shocked and hyped up by the experience. They're having a hard time and may be seeing things that aren't actually there, which adds to their stress and anxiety. The singer mentions that they can hardly speak, hinting at the feeling of being emotionally blocked or disconnected from their partner.


Brooklyn is used as a metaphor for the 'sleazy' part of the city, which suggests that the singer doesn't like being in that particular area. They don't want to be like that part of the city, which could represent a relationship or a personal issue i.e., they don't want to become that part themselves. The song implies that there's some tension between them, as the singer admits to being closed off and having a hard time looking into their partner's eyes. However, they love them deeply and want to hold on to that feeling, hoping that they can make it through the day and the night. The song ends with the singer still feeling overwhelmed and stuck inside their own head, unable to fully relax and be present in the moment.


Overall, "Hotel" is a raw and emotional song that captures the feelings of being lost and disconnected in a big city. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the hustle and bustle of New York City and the emotional rollercoaster of a couple's relationship. The song touches on themes of anxiety, self-doubt, and the struggles of maintaining a healthy relationship.

Being close to you in a metropolis is overwhelming


I can hardly see
My vision is affected by the substance we took earlier
