Cover art for The Misery lyrics by Sonata Arctica

Had to register here just to share my opinion about this song. I'm not 100% sure but this is what I've read from this one site and it was told to be said by the Singer of the band in an interview... The song is about writing songs, and the misery connected to it. The "person" this song is talking to is actually a pen.

"You cast a perfect shadow on the paper." "I can't write these storylines without you" Pen, obviously.

Anyway, it's a very beautiful song that has had a big meaning for me in my life - it used to be song I could use to remember one person. Not anymore, though. When I first read the "right" meaning told by the author, I was disappointed for that I had formed a story around the song and had such a powerful idea about it.

Uh, I writed a long comment, sorry.
