Miserable Monster
Caliban's Lament: A Tale of Misery and Betrayal
Lyrics
I’m a miserable monster,
I feel like a wretched creature.
Such a miserable guy.
Describing myself as a pitiable person.
Sad and miserable monster,
Continuing to emphasize my sorrowful state.
Wanna break down and cry.
Expressing the desire to give in to tears.
Ugly creature in a cave,
Depicting myself as an unattractive being dwelling in isolation.
All alone, a wizard’s slave.
Being enslaved and living in seclusion in a wizard's cave.
Half a monster, half a man,
Describing a dual nature - part monster, part human.

Sycorax, she promised me!
Referring to a broken promise by Sycorax regarding kingship.
Prospero, he stole his throne.
Accusing Prospero of usurping Caliban's throne.
Took my island for his own.
