Misery
NSB Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And if you want to leave
Then I'm playing defense
Why you acting different
Round these people
Acting like you're one of them
Say you want to breathe
But you're the one with hands around my neck
I'm tryna let you go but I'm obsessed
I'm impulsive
You keep tearing me apart but I'm out here falling
And I'll let you drive my cars but you crashed them all in
But I'd rather die
See you with another guy
Even though you lie
Leaving you is suicide
You bring terror to my heart, I'll still let you crawl in
And I love you for your scars, but I hate these problems
But I'd rather die
See you with another guy
Even though you lie
Leaving you is suicide
If you wanna go
Then pack up all your shit and leave out that door
It hurts me even more to know that you're still waiting on me
I'm not heard
I needed you to love me first
I come back to you to make it work
A thousand times I've told you and I'll tell you again
You keep tearing me apart but I'm out here falling
And I'll let you drive my cars but you crashed them all in
But I'd rather die
See you with another guy
Even though you lie
Leaving you is suicide
You bring terror to my heart, I'll still let you crawl in
And I love you for your scars, but I hate these problems
But I'd rather die
See you with another guy
Even though you lie
Leaving you is suicide
Suicide
Suicide
Leaving you is suicide
I need you to love me but instead you left me here to die
Suicide
Switch the sides
Come back to me every night and every night you ruin mine
Take me out of my
Misery
Let me down from my
Hopes and dreams
Take me out of my
Misery
Let me down from my
Hopes and dreams
You keep tearing me apart but I'm out here falling
And I'll let you drive my cars but you crashed them all in
But I'd rather die
See you with another guy
Even though you lie
Leaving you is suicide
You bring terror to my heart, I'll still let you crawl in
And I love you for your scars, but I hate these problems
But I'd rather die
See you with another guy
Even though you lie
Leaving you is suicide
Suicide
Suicide
Leaving you is suicide
I need you to love me but instead you left me here to die
Suicide




Switch the sides
Come back to me every night and every night you ruin mine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of NSB's song MISERY are about a toxic relationship that has become an obsession for the singer of the song. The first few lines of the song suggest that the person the singer is singing to wants to leave, but he is playing defense, implying that he is trying to hold onto the relationship. He then talks about how the person he is singing to is acting differently around people, suggesting that they are not being their true selves. The singer's obsession with this person is evident in the line "I'm tryna let you go but I'm obsessed," and it appears that the person he is singing to is abusive, with "you're the one with hands around my neck" suggesting that she is suffocating him emotionally.


Despite the singer recognizing the toxicity of the relationship and acknowledging that the person he is singing to has caused him pain, he still can't let go. He talks about letting her drive his cars, but she crashes them, which is a metaphor for how the relationship has gone, with the singer letting this person into his life, only for her to cause chaos. He admits that he loves her for her scars, but he hates the problems she brings. The lyrics then turn darker, with the singer saying that leaving this person would be suicide, and he'd rather die than see her with another guy. The song ends with an appeal to the person he is singing to, asking her to take him out of his misery and let him down from his hopes and dreams.


Overall, Misery is a song that explores the dark side of love and the dangers of toxic relationships. It highlights the pull of obsession and how it can lead us to make dangerous choices. The key takeaway from the song is that while love can be beautiful, we need to be careful not to let it consume us and make us blind to the harm it can cause.

This music video was very sentimental for me- the song was already was emotional for me but you could feel the emotional portrayed in oliver, in the scenes, in the movements and in the editing. Everything about this music video was a masterpiece. I'm not gonna lie, this music video made me cry. I broke down at the part where Oliver cut him hair and suddenly, the scenes felt less rushed and more open and free. It was almost as if you could feel Oliver growing up and becoming a brand new person.
And I love that for Oliver.

As a star, I feel so proud that Oliver can share his story with us through his music. It makes me proud to be a not only a NSB star but a STARMY. It's because of NSB, that I found a reason to smile through the last 2 years of pain I was living in. I could never thank you all enough for making me smile and laugh. I found so many forever friends because of you all. I owe you all so much. Thank you. So much. I'm a forever fan and will support you always! Much love. Keep smiling. Keep your bright energy and never dim the bright light inside of you. You're amazing. Love you always ☁️🌸🤍
