Misery
Love's Echo in Midnight's Embrace
Lyrics
Step right up
Invitation to approach or face a challenge
Get yourself wrecked
Suggesting self-destruction or emotional turmoil
Come on whisper my name
Asking for attention or recognition
I mean since it's so late
Noting the lateness, implying regret or missed opportunities
A thousand miles away
Physical or emotional distance from the speaker
I'll be creeping down your spine
Creating a sense of unease or anticipation
And making you wait, wait and wait
Emphasizing delays and building tension
And I hope you find a handsome young man
Wishing the listener finds someone better
Who can love you like I, baby, just like I can
Expressing the speaker's unique ability to love
Who will take you out dancing, while you waited me out
Highlighting the contrast between present and past actions
Making good use of the blues you found
Using difficulties to grow or learn
Go on light it up
Encouraging a carefree or rebellious attitude
Let your hair down
Promoting freedom and enjoyment of the moment
You deserve the wee hours and the shivers downtown
Deserving late nights and intense experiences
Because I'm waking up
Indicating the speaker's awakening or realization
You're stumbling home
Noting the listener's return, perhaps from a night out
What, you think I forget
Reminding the listener of past memories or commitments
I remember each and every lonesome night lone
Recalling and acknowledging lonely nights
And I hope you find a handsome young man
Repeating the wish for the listener to find happiness
Who can love you like I, baby, just like I can
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the speaker's love
Who will take you out dancing, as you waited me out
Connecting waiting with personal growth
Making good use of the blues you found
Utilizing difficult experiences to develop character
Making misery so proud
Acknowledging the speaker's role in causing misery
And if I saw this much blood
Imagining a scenario with significant consequences
If it was all on your hands
Placing responsibility for consequences on the listener
If the pills in my system came to call you up again
Referencing substance abuse and its impact on the relationship
Would you buy me a drink, to calm down
Asking for comfort or support
Would you buy me a drink right now?
Immediate request for assistance or validation
And I hope you find a handsome young man
Reiterating the hope for the listener's happiness
Who can love you like I, baby, just like I can
Reaffirming the speaker's unique capacity for love
Who will take you out dancing, while you waited me out
Connecting waiting with personal growth
Making good use of the blues you found
Using difficulties to enhance one's life
And I hope you find a handsome young man
Repeating the desire for the listener's happiness
Who can love you like I, baby, just like I can
Restating the speaker's unique ability to love
Who will take you out dancing, while you waited me out
Reconnecting waiting with personal growth
Making good use of the blues you found
Emphasizing the positive outcomes of difficult experiences
Making good use of the blues you found
Highlighting the transformation caused by hardships
Making good use of the blues in you now
Making misery so proud
Acknowledging the speaker's contribution to misery
Making misery so proud
Making misery so proud
-While you waited me out
Emphasizing the lasting impact of waiting on the speaker
