Misery/Battery
Miyagi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pretend to buy a book to note it all what seems to flow away
Too many years it's drowning down
Don't know when it began, my dear
Cause I'm not able, no, to brace myself and show my inner state
And if you mind that I could lie in words, you might think it happens here
The trace is made
We all should leave this station
I got that anticipation
Can't stand such big temptation
And what about your emancipation
Don't share my wasted misery
Your system shows low battery
Don't need that nice meant charity
This life is not our enemy
Oh, once I had two eyes, running aback as far as my mind gets wet
I stick five fingers in the mud again to lift it up over my head
Realize my fingers are not only for the smoke to linger around
And if you mind that I could lie in words, you might think it happens now
We all should leave this station
I got that anticipation
Can't stand such big temptation
And what about your emancipation
Don't share my wasted misery
Your system shows low battery
Don't need that nice meant charity
This life is not our enemy
Control
