In the summer of 2017, the guitar duo was complemented by three young, experienced and creative musicians. First of all, vocalist Arthur joined the band. In the same month, bass player Kieft, with roots in funk and jazz, and rock drummer Matthijs joined the band as well. Catchy songs with heavy guitar riffs and compelling vocal lines soon became the trademark of the band, with which it tries to reboot the once popular nu metal scene in their own innovative way.
Misery
Mountain Eye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slowly crack
The fear it takes over me
And time, I'm losing time
I'm losing my mind
Self-control is leaving me
Take the worries from me
Take the darkness from within
Come in and taste
Taste the bitterness that's me
Taste it all
Taste everything
Come on
The beating never ends
The blackening as we disappear
Can you see me trying to best the rope around my neck?
Can you see me trying to step away?
The heart of misery
I'm tired
To live in regret
To live in despair
To long for the changing needs
And I keep pushing it all behind
Keep pushing myself behind
I chain myself
I hold myself
I'm dead
Come in and take
Take the worries from me
Take the darkness from within
Come in and taste
Taste the bitterness that's me
Taste it all
Taste everything
Come on
The beating never ends
The blackening as we disappear
Can you see me trying to best the rope around my neck?
Can you see me trying to step away from the ledge?
Can you see that I'm trying every time?
The heart of our disease is the heart of misery
We drown in broken dreams
We bear the heart of misery
The heart of our disease is the heart of misery
Of broken dreams
Can you see me trying to best the rope around my neck?
Can you see that I'm trying to step away?
The heart of misery
In "Misery" by Mountain Eye, the lyrics reflect the emotions of someone who is struggling with their inner demons and the weight of their own fears. The opening lines, "I'm fading fast, slowly crack, the fear it takes over me," convey a sense of desperation and vulnerability. The individual feels themselves losing control over their thoughts and emotions, as time slips away and their sanity deteriorates.
The repeated lines, "Come in and take, take the worries from me, take the darkness from within," suggest a plea for someone or something to rescue them from their distress. They are yearning for relief from the darkness that engulfs them, hoping that someone can help them escape their own internal torment.
The lyrics also explore the idea of self-imposed suffering, as seen in the line, "Can you see me trying to best the rope around my neck?" Here, the individual acknowledges their own self-destructive tendencies and how they are engaged in a constant struggle to break free from the metaphorical noose that represents their own self-inflicted pain.
The heart of misery is a recurring motif throughout the song. It symbolizes the disease that resides within, causing broken dreams and perpetuating a cycle of despair. The lyrics express a longing for change and a desire to overcome these struggles, as indicated by the line, "Can you see me trying to step away from the ledge? Can you see that I'm trying every time?" This demonstrates the individual's continuous efforts to escape their misery and find a way to lead a more fulfilling life.
Overall, "Misery" delves into the depths of emotional turmoil, portraying the internal battles and yearnings for release that many individuals may experience. It highlights the human condition of suffering and the constant search for solace and redemption.

I'm fading fast
I am losing myself quickly
Slowly crack
Gradually breaking apart
The fear it takes over me
Fear consumes me completely
And time, I'm losing time
I am running out of time
I'm losing my mind
My sanity is slipping away
Self-control is leaving me
I am losing control of myself
Come in and take
Please come and relieve me
Take the worries from me
Take away my burdens
Take the darkness from within
Remove the darkness inside me
Come in and taste
Experience for yourself
Taste the bitterness that's me
Experience the bitterness within me
Taste it all
Feel and understand everything
Taste everything
Experience every aspect
Come on
Move forward
The beating never ends
The pain never ceases
The blackening as we disappear
As we vanish, darkness surrounds us
Can you see me trying to best the rope around my neck?
Can you see my struggle to overcome my own demise?
Can you see me trying to step away?
Can you see my attempt to break free?
The heart of misery
The essence of suffering
I'm tired
I am exhausted
To live in regret
To constantly dwell on past mistakes
To live in despair
To exist in a state of hopelessness
To long for the changing needs
To desire fulfillment in ever-changing desires
And I keep pushing it all behind
I continue to bury it all
Keep pushing myself behind
I hide myself away
I chain myself
I imprison myself
I hold myself
I keep myself captive
I'm dead
I am lifeless
The beating never ends
The pain never ceases
The blackening as we disappear
As we vanish, darkness surrounds us
Can you see me trying to best the rope around my neck?
Can you see my struggle to overcome my own demise?
Can you see me trying to step away from the ledge?
Can you see my attempt to distance myself from danger?
Can you see that I'm trying every time?
Can you see my continuous efforts?
The heart of our disease is the heart of misery
Our suffering is the core of our affliction
We drown in broken dreams
We are consumed by shattered aspirations
We bear the heart of misery
We carry the burden of suffering
The heart of our disease is the heart of misery
Our affliction stems from our suffering
Of broken dreams
Resulting from shattered aspirations
