Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To Misery
At the door, was Misery
Hey hey hey
So put me out….
Here she comes
She don’t love,
(No, no, no)
my Misery
Hey hey hey
Say hello
To Misery
I don’t wanna go,
(No, no, no)
back to Misery
Hey hey hey
So put me out…
Gimme my bullets, and put one in the chamber,
Gimme my bullets, gimme my bullets.
Open the window and start the celebration,
Over the railing and Oooooo
…of my misery.
So put me out…
Gimme my bullets, and put one in the chamber,
Gimme my bullets, gimme my bullets,
Open the window and stop the suffocation,
Over the railing and Ooooo”
…of my misery
The lyrics to "Misery" by Shadow & the Thrill depict a person's return to a state of unhappiness and despair, symbolized by the character named Misery. The repetition of the word "Misery" emphasizes the overwhelming presence of this negative emotion. The singer seems to find comfort in this familiar state, stating, "I don't wanna go back to Misery." It suggests that they might have become accustomed to this feeling, and perhaps they even derive some twisted sense of satisfaction from it.
The lines "Gimme my bullets, and put one in the chamber" and "Open the window and start the celebration" add a darker undertone to the song. It implies a desire to escape from Misery, potentially through self-destructive means. The phrase "Stop the suffocation" further emphasizes the suffocating and oppressive nature of this emotional state.
Overall, the song explores the complexities of human emotions and the allure of familiar pain. It touches on themes of self-sabotage and the struggle to break free from negative patterns.
