Misery
Wellwisher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A battle within
Living in constant anguish
How would I escape?
Misery, oh misery
We meet again, again and again
Poison, intake the poison
Dragging my limbs
I begin another day
Hoping for the end
Why was I put on this dirt?
I'm nothing more, just beneath the rest
A burden, a burden
Anchoring my relationships
I'm far from the best, far from the best
Think I'm better off not being around
Misery, oh misery
We meet again, again and again
Poison, intake the poison
To fulfill this empty void
For what I know
I always thought of my soul as something lifeless
Trying to improve but I'm so fucking helpless
All I know is that I've lost myself
How could I grow?
If there's a God, then please show why I suffer
Tending to the wounds then we're all fucking under
Six feet below the ground
Not sure how much longer this will last
I grip on what's left of my sanity
Drowning in my own thoughts
Bring death
Bring darkness
Everything you love
Will fucking crumble
Bring death
Bring darkness
Everything you cherished
Will rot and wither into dust
For what I know
I always thought of my soul as something lifeless
Trying to improve but I'm so fucking helpless
All I know is that I've lost myself
How could I grow?
If there's a God, then please show why I suffer
Tending to the wounds then we're all fucking under
Six feet below the ground
God, if you're real please take me away (please take me away)
Bring me the happiness I never had being on Earth
What is there left to fix?
Say they'll help you out when there's nothing to grip
Even cold hands burn and your friends all turn
You reach out, no returns, no lesson learned
I don't have a choice
No one hears my voice
I did this myself, no more asking for help
It's my trial, my sentence
No joy, no repentance
All love is remembrance
Misery and contention

I don't have a choice
Feeling trapped and without options or alternatives
No one hears my voice
Experiencing a lack of understanding and empathy from others
I did this myself, no more asking for help
Taking responsibility for my own suffering and refusing to seek assistance
It's my trial, my sentence
Viewing life as a personal test or punishment
No joy, no repentance
Lacking happiness and remorse in my existence
All love is remembrance
Love is only a memory of past affection and connection
Misery and contention
Suffering and conflict that dominate my life
God, if you're real please take me away (please take me away)
Pleading for divine intervention to bring an end to my pain and existence
Bring me the happiness I never had being on Earth
Requesting an experience of joy that was never present in my life
