Fall Out Boy - The Music Or The Misery Song MeaningsLyrics:I got my stitches stitched, I got my fixes fixed, In my aching head, I got my kisses slit. Our gossip lips stuttered every word I said, I said... (See the rest of these lyrics) Submitted by: anonymous Added: 2006-02-15 17:06:23 Rating:  I think this song is about the narrator in a relationship, but the relationship didn't work out.
Submitted by: anonymous I think that this song is about how the media warps everything, and makes music secondary to behavior and fashion. "I went to sleep a poet and I woke up a fraud".. I think this portrays the transition most artists have made from being original to being a total clone, which ties in with the other line "im every cliche, but I simply do it best" stating that he uses all the same popular song ideas, but changes them to something of his own, which defies the media, and buried in the songs sarcastic comments.
Submitted by: anonymous This song is based on a movie/book called "High Fidelity"
Submitted by: anonymous I think the line 'Which came first, the music or the misery' means that some bands sing just for the sake of singing and their lyrics don't reflect any past suffering or 'misery'. I'm not sure about the rest of the song. Tell me what you think:)
Submitted by: anonymous ^^^^the one above^^^^
Submitted by: psPatrick2707 This is about the guys in the band feeling stuck. They can't tell if they're becoming sellouts and their nervous that they are. I think they don't know what to do with all their fame and they feel horrible with all this stuff just sitting their waiting to be dealt with.
Submitted by: psPatrick2707 The 4th interpretation on this page is really good, but when they say misery, I think they mean not only past suffering but any feeling at all. like some bands do it for the sake of playing the music, and some use it as a way to vent any feelings or "misery"
Submitted by: armybrat21381 Same as interpretation 4.
Submitted by: anonymous The music or the misery is about how everyone has warped music into something it was never supposed to be. Take the chorus for instance... "It was never about the songs, it was competition.Make the biggest scene, make the biggest... Which came first, the music or the misery? We're high-fashion, we're last chances." This is supposed to express how music has changed. Music has basically become crap lately. Everyone has forgotten what it's supposed to be about. Nobody really cares about the lyrics anymore. It's like the music doesn't count anymore and everyone is giving into the pressure of the media and trying to be the coolest band. And the people who still do care are miserable from it. So, bands like fall Out Boy aren't out to save music but also aren't out to keep destroying it. They still care about the lyrics and feelings they wanna put out and really care about that kind of stuff. So the few bands left like that are like last chances. And the media is a pretty cut throaght biz. That's what I got from it anyway.
