Misery
Sean Whiting Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don’t know who you can trust
Broken by another sorry som bitch
You say he wasn’t the last
Since then you love them and leave them fast
But he’s the only one you ever miss
Even if it takes all night
Baby you can burn your bridge with me
Maybe I can ease your pain
Until you don’t even know his name
Baby you could let it all go to me
I’ll be your misery
The hour’s getting late
You know I really hate
Hate to see you leave
I know your down on your luck
But I think I’ll call your bluff
I need to see to believe
So let me do it right this time
Even if it takes all night
Baby you can burn your bridge with me
Or maybe I can ease your pain
Until you don’t even know his name
Baby you can let it all go to me
I’ll be your misery
So let me do it right this time
Even if it takes all night
Baby you can burn your bridge with me
Or maybe I can ease your pain
Until you don’t even know his name
Baby you can let it all go to me
I’ll be your misery
The lyrics of Sean Whiting's song "Misery" depict a narrator who is aware of the troubles and emotional distress that someone else is going through. The first verse indicates that the person is feeling downtrodden and has lost faith in others. They have been hurt by someone in the past, referred to as a "sorry som bitch," and it seems that this experience has left a lasting impact on them. The singer acknowledges that there have been subsequent romantic encounters, but none of those individuals have mattered as much as the one who hurt them.
In the chorus, the singer expresses a desire to be there for this person and potentially fill the void left by the one who hurt them. They offer to do things differently and make a genuine effort to heal their pain. They are willing to give their time and emotional support, regardless of how long it takes. The singer suggests that the person can "burn their bridge" with them, meaning they can fully let go of their past and trust in the singer's sincerity. The singer wants to become the source of comfort and companionship, someone who can alleviate the pain and help the person forget about their past troubles.
As the song progresses, it becomes evident that the singer has a personal interest in this person. Although they claim to hate seeing them leave and express the need for proof that the person truly wants their help, the singer reveals their own feelings. They mention that they might be calling the person's bluff, implying that they suspect the person may not be entirely honest about their vulnerability. The singer wants to see for themselves if the person is truly in need, suggesting an underlying romantic interest.
Once again, the chorus repeats with a renewed commitment from the singer. They persist in offering their support, indicating that they want to do things right this time and be the person who can heal the person's pain. They want to take on the role of being the source of comfort and understanding, willing to go to great lengths to bring relief to the person's heartache.
Overall, "Misery" portrays a narrator who recognizes someone's emotional turmoil and desires to be their comfort and solace. It hints at a potential romantic interest, as the singer expresses a willingness to offer emotional support and be there for the person in their darkest moments.
