Misery
The Comfort Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it needs to change
I haven't felt anything for days
Who's to blame for this malaise?
I need people that feel the same
I need to know this is not okay
I'm going far away and I might never come back
Is this my best?
I just want to see the light inside my chest
Show me how to see the light inside of me
Show me how to see the love that I need, that we need
We're living in this world of grey
We're drifting away from the lives we're meant to lead
No one's got anything to say
Tell yourself that it's okay
That there's not a better way
You don't want to leave this life
But you know that you can't stay
And lately I feel the need to grow
Because I'm tired of feeling alone
The Mother told me all I need I already own
Show me how to see the light inside of me
Show me how to see the love that I need, that we need
I don't want to live in misery
Show me how to see the light inside of me
Show me how to see the love that I need, that we need
The Comfort's song "Misery" is a heartfelt plea for guidance and help in the midst of a world that seems to be losing its way. The lyrics speak of a world of haze that needs to change, and the singer's own struggle with feeling disconnected from his emotions and those around him. The song touches on themes of depression, alienation, addiction, and the search for meaning and purpose in life. The singer turns to others for support, acknowledging the need for community and connection, but also recognizes that ultimately the search for personal growth and healing must come from within.
The repeating chorus, "Show me how to see the light inside of me, show me how to see the love that I need" expresses the desire for guidance and direction in the singer's journey towards self-discovery and healing. There is a sense of urgency and desperation in the lyrics, as the singer recognizes that time is short and that he cannot continue to live a life of misery. Ultimately, the song speaks to the universal human experience of searching for purpose and meaning in life, and the importance of facing one's own demons and seeking help when needed.

Due to being weary of isolation and loneliness.
The Mother told me all I need I already own
I have the essential elements needed to succeed within myself.
I don't want to live in misery
I do not desire to endure a life filled with sorrow and despair.

We’re living in this world of haze and it needs to change
I haven’t felt anything for days, who’s to blame for this malaise?
I need people that feel the same, I need to know this is not okay
I’m going far away and I might never come back
I’ve been drinking death until I had nothing left
Is this my best?
I just want to see the light inside my chest
Show me how to see the light inside of me
Show me how to see the love that I need, that we need
We’re living in this world of grey
We’re drifting away from the lives were meant to lead
No one’s got anything to say
Tell yourself that it’s okay that there’s not a better way
You don’t want to leave this life but you know that you can’t stay
And lately I feel the need to grow
Because I’ve tired of feeling alone
The mother told me all I need I already own
Show me how to see the light inside of me
Show me how to see the love that I need, that we need
I don’t want to live in misery
Show me how to see the light inside of me
Show me how to see the love that I need, that we need

I am truly sorry for your loss. Its painful to lose someone you cared about I know it is, and as difficult as it might seem to accept I really hope you try to keep in mind during this heartbreak that majority if not all of the pain will fade away in due time cause it always does, and that the best thing you can do for yourself and all those affected by this tragedy is to keep a level head and not allow the hurt to get the best of you. I say that because its common for a lot of people after a loved one passes, to feel like they want to give up on life or self destruct.
So stay strong man and honor your friend by reminiscing about the positive times you spent with them, and who they were as a person and the good things they did while they around. They may be gone, but you will forever have the memories to hold onto and that's a part of them you will never be without.
God Bless
