My Misery Lyrics

You Said When That Day Came
Strength Is All I Had
You Said When That Day Would Come
I'll Know The Sound Of Fear
But Now You Ask For Forgiveness
You Ask For My Respect
You Beat Upon Me 'till I Broke
Stripping, Taking
Everything From Me

Drain Me Of My Power
Suck Me Of My Strength
Strip Me Of My Will To Live
My Soul You Desecrate
N'if It Takes Me Dying
To Make Some History
Then On To You My Suffering
Will Ever, Forever
Burn In Misery

I Was Born To Reign
Messiah Of Pain
I Had Earned The Right
I'm The Demon Knight

Drain Me Of My Power
Suck Me Of My Strength
Strip Me Of My Will To Live
My Soul You Desecrate
N' If It Take Me Dying
To Make Some History
Then On To You My Suffering
Wii Ever, Forever
Burn In Misery

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Overall, the song portrays betrayal, manipulation, and the internal struggle for redemption. The song prompts reflection on the consequences of outward cruelty and highlights the impact it can have on an individual's psyche. Though it can be seen as an external battle, it can also be an internal struggle that encourages people to confront their pain and strive for personal growth.

They've been manipulated and ripped of everything that defined them, their confidence, strength, and hope, leaving them feeling powerless. By the end, they're willing to sacrifice themselves in pursuit of justice, determined to create a lasting impact and ensure that their suffering is never forgotten, have their pain acknowledged, and serve as a cry for retribution.
