Disciple - Misery Lyrics

This song, if a call out, is a call out to those who get comfortable with being depressed and/or playing the victim and don't want to get better, but just want people to feel sorry for them. It's about people who feel that just because they are hurt they have the right to inflict pain on others too. If you listen thoroughly to this song, the lyrics are very explicit about that and aren't calling out those that have depression, but those who use their depression as an excuse and aren't willing to get the help they need and to get better.


As someone who has depression and spiraled down since my breakup with my ex, I have started to become comfortable and okay with it and let God slip to the wayside, but that's not okay. Jesus is here so that I don't have to feel the pain and I need to work to remember that and reach out to God. It's not easy to do by any means, but Christ is the greatest cure for depression that I've ever seen.

One of my favorite bands and one of our biggest influences. They are so amazing. Such a great track! <3

This album is absolutely epic!

I do want help and want to get better but Idk how :/ Been seeking help but only so much people can do and "advice" they give

Nasty flesh! As I've said before, goodbye flesh, hello Spirit! Galatians 2:20! ❤Shalom!

Good point!

PLZ MAKE GUITAR TABS

In todays society it's kind of cool to be a victim of something. A lot of them don't want help, just attention.

This song totally rocks!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Look in my eyes 😂

Lots of people are like that now. Sad

I feel called out, but I'm happy about it?

Maybe when people talk about this subject they are not addressing the people who are legitatmately depressed or have anxiety. Maybe its addressing the ones who use those words for attention. The ones who blame the world for the situation there in and feel that gives them an excuse to be terrible or never have personal responsibility. Maybe a person will struggle with depression their entire life, that person still has a choice to grow closer to Christ and lead others to Him despite any mental illness or mental state. We should never use our situation to guilt others into giving us attention or putting anyone else through hell.

This is my personal interpretation. First of all I've struggled with anxiety and depression for 20+ years but I get this song. If you look up the verses that go along with the song it makes more sense. People in the bible had depression. But I believe this is mainly about being comfortable where you're at. Not wanting to make changes. One of the verses is about the man that was ill and he sat by the pool for over 30 years waiting for someone to help him into the pool to be "healed". The Lord approached him and asked a simple yet thought provoking question. "Do you want to get well?" He didn't scream out "Yes, Lord! Heal me!" He made excuses. He complained that nobody was around to help him in the pool and someone always beat him to it. Like a pastor once said "It's okay not to be okay. But it's not okay to stay that way." God doesn't want us to live in misery. He has a better plan for us! That's what the song says to me. It's more of a get you convicted kinda song to not stay in your misery.

Yes Crystal, we are a new creation in Christ. This means we are being transformed from living our pre-born-again life "stuck in" the false identities and lies of the wisdom and spirit of the world (darkness/bondage), to living new life "from/out of" our true identity in the truth, love and spirit of Jesus Christ (light/freedom). We "get" to leave our past behind because it does not define us. Yes, things happened...people did things to us and we did things to other people, but these things do NOT define us. Our failures and mistakes do NOT define us! Our Christ-given identity is what defines us! Thank you Jesus! All unforgiveness, bitterness, unresolved conflict, guilt, shame and condemnation are surrendered at the foot of the cross. Our "mind's eye" is being renewed in His likeness. His glory shines brightest in our weaknesses!


2 Corinthians 5:17 The Passion Translation (TPT)
17 Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new creation. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new.


I would also recommend you read the book, "Rethinking Depression: Not a Sickness, Not a Sin,", by Dr. Daniel Berger II. It confirmed what the Holy Spirit was telling me throughout my years of anxiety, depression, and alcohol abuse. I no longer choose to live in a victim mindset. I am now walking in my Christ-given identity and have killed all false identities and labels in my life. Best wishes to you!

Ok sooo... Ouch! And Amen!! 😲😲😍

Barely a day old and I'm already *in love* with _every single song_ of this new album! You guys really hit it out of the park this time!

Aaaah, I can't get my copy until Tuesday! I have been counting down the days!! Can't waaait

Same, same, same!

Thank you for the great music!!! Greetings from Bulgaria, God Bless!

Such a deep song!

I understand what you’re trying to say, but I have a feeling this one is gonna bump some people... it might insult some people who actually have depression/anxiety etc... I just don’t know if there was a better way to say this all... any thoughts on this? I love you guys and I’m tracking with you but I just wonder if this song is a little far

Orange02Blue03 yep, that’s exactly what I think too! I just thought maybe some people would find it hard to listen to or maybe that it’s offensive to them. I am not one of those people though lol

I got hit with bad anxiety recently, but I love this song. I don't think it's directed at people suffering with depression/anxiety, but rather, people who take trivial (usually political) issues that they don't truly care about and blow them up on social media for attention. Anyone with true anxiety knows that we aren't in love with it. But there are a lot of young people out there who spend all day posting about their heartaches over whatever their social "cause" is, just to stir up drama. They don't want things to change. They just want retweets.

I was on various depression medications for 12 years. I was very depressed, and in very dark seasons of my life even suicidal. I know what it's like to be depressed. I know what it feels like to feel hopeless. But I also know what it's like to stay in that role of the victim, because it's easier oh, and yes, the relationship benefits. And yes, if I was depressed, I got a pass. So essentially I was enabled to stay a victim instead of believing the truth of God's word, telling me who I am now.

I think this is an awesome song Oh, and these words need to be said. I needed these words to be said to me, before things turned around for me.

All glory to God Amen!!

Music is a way to explain feelings. Kevin is simply empathizing with those who are in a deep sense of depression. It’s very deep and helpful. This is reality and I appreciate the genuineness and authenticity of these lyrics.

I kind of agree. As someone who has dealt with such mental issues, this song is kind of "stabby" at me when I listen to it. Even if that's not the purpose of it. Hard to get the good meaning behind it when I hear the type of words people use for basically saying "stop complaining." It's like encouraging me to stop sharing my feelings and struggles with others when I need prayer and help because it's too needy or I'm bothering them or I'm playing the victim. Which of course creates a sense of loneliness like I got to deal with it myself lest anyone know about me having it and me being a whiny "victim." Doubt that's what they were going for, of course but still. Kinda feels that way. Those of us who are in such mental states aren't exactly in the right mind to deflect words like that and realize true meanings behind statements if that makes sense. Can create more of a fight or flight thing

This song is so savage.

Understanding the point of mental issues (I used to be one of them), Jesus is the only one who can bare with this. Not only simply empy prayers or faith. If could do it, anyone of you guys out there, can. God Bless you everyone.

Amen bro

Wow that’s a deep song you guys rocked it again!!! God bless

🤘 love this

I'm in love with the Misery!!! Great song!!

Wow ❤❤
