Misery
X-Machine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock
It's a matter of time before we all run out
Just when I thought she was mine, he caught her by the mouth
I waited eight long months, he finally set her free
I told her I couldn't lie, she was the only one for me
Two weeks and we had caught on fire
He's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I've got her where I want her now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
And steal it all away from you now
But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I've got her where I want her now
And if you could, then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
It just feels so good

Second chances, they don't ever matter, people never change
Once a whore you're nothing more
I'm sorry, that'll never change
And about forgiveness, that we're supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry homie, but I passed it up, now look this way
There's a million other girls who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who
They want and what they want
It's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I've got her where I want her now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
And steal it all away from you now
But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I've got her where I want her right now
And if you could, then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
It just feels so good

I watched her wildest dreams come true
And not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving
You, you

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I've got her where I want her now

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I've got her where I want her now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
And steal it all away from you now
But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I've got her where I want her now
And if you could, then you know you would




'Cause God, it just feels so
Just feels so good

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to X-Machine's song "Misery" tell a story of a tumultuous romantic relationship filled with betrayal, revenge, and a sense of triumph.


The song begins with the singer proclaiming that they are in the business of misery, suggesting that they thrive on the pain and chaos that relationships can bring. The metaphor of a ticking hourglass emphasizes the limited time they have before things fall apart. Suddenly, another person enters the picture, taking away the person the singer thought was theirs. The singer expresses their patience for eight months until this person finally lets go of their love interest. They admit that this person was the only one for them and they couldn't lie about it.


The second verse focuses on the singer's confidence and satisfaction with this turn of events. They claim that they never intended to brag or intentionally hurt anyone but now they have the person they desired. The phrase "And steal it all away from you now" reflects the notion that the singer has taken what was once someone else's and now revels in the satisfaction of having won. The lyrics imply that this person may have had ill intentions towards the singer, hence their sense of triumph despite the harm caused.


The third verse explores the idea of second chances and forgiveness in relationships. The singer dismisses the concept, stating that people never truly change. They assert that once someone is labeled negatively (in this case, a whore), that perception will never change. The singer admits passing up forgiveness and chooses to move on, rejecting the idea that they need to conform to societal expectations and norms.


The chorus repeats the idea of the singer's triumph and satisfaction. They express joy in having the person they desire exactly where they want them. The lyrics convey a sense of defiance towards anyone who may try to challenge or question their status.


The final part of the song exemplifies the singer's satisfaction by highlighting their success, while belittling and excluding the person they took the love interest from. The comparison between the "wildest dreams come true" for the singer and the absence of the other person in those dreams implies that their existence is insignificant.


Overall, "Misery" depicts a rather dark and self-centered perspective on love and relationships. The lyrics delve into themes of possessiveness, revenge, and the pursuit of personal gratification at the expense of others.
