Factor: Misery
Omega Lithium Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Memory is a knife
It cuts deep and painfully
Can you call this a life?
I can't go on normally

Closing in to the face of time
Sentencing myself for the selfless crime
Again and again, asking myself why?

Is this just the way it should have been?
Or it is just another spin?
Is there a reason to go on?
Or I must die, just to be reborn?

Falling down
Reaching my destination
I review my life
In search of explanations

All the emptiness will soon be gone
As the soil falls upon the bone
All the emotions will soon subside
After the night in which I'll die

All the factors revealed but they won't last
As long

As misery

Misery

All the emptiness will soon be gone
As the soil falls upon the bone
All the emotions will soon subside
After the night in which I'll die





This is the final darkness for my light

Overall Meaning

The song "Factor: Misery" by Omega Lithium presents the theme of despair and the search for a reason to continue living in the face of pain and suffering. The opening lines, "Memory is a knife, it cuts deep and painfully, can you call this a life? I can't go on normally," establish the emotional tone of the song. The singer is tormented by memories that continue to wound deeply, causing existential questioning about the value of life.


As the song progresses, we see the singer's desperate search for meaning and explanation, as seen in the line "Falling down, reaching my destination, I review my life, in search of explanations." The search appears to be in vain, with the singer coming to the realization that finally dying may be the only way forward.


The repetition of the lines "All the emptiness will soon be gone as the soil falls upon the bone, all the emotions will soon subside after the night in which I'll die," reinforces the idea of finality and the release of pain through death. Nonetheless, the singer acknowledges that the factors that contributed to their misery will ultimately not endure, but the misery itself will.


Overall, "Factor: Misery" is a bleak and unflinching exploration of the difficult subject of grappling with despair and the desire for release from pain.
