Synth pop meets dark intensity
"Misery" by Straight Razor grabbed me immediately. The song combines everything I love about synth pop: catchy melodies, powerful beats and a dark, mysterious atmosphere. What particularly fascinated me is the clear voice, which always remains present despite its sinister nuances.
The structure of the track is another highlight. Although the beat remains crisp throughout, the song never seems monotonous. Just when I thought I had grasped the progression, "Misery" surprised me with subtle variations that give the whole thing a special dynamic. The chorus is irresistible – an earworm that has stuck in my head.
Lyrically, "Misery" is equally intense. Lines like "Through the pain and misery" and "Into the shadows I tend to fall" reflect the inner struggle that the artist himself describes as the core of the song.
What I particularly appreciate about "Misery" is the balance between darkness and harmony. The song conveys a dark heaviness that simultaneously contrasts with a fascinating catchiness.

Lyrics of "Straight Razor – Misery"
The world becomes a mystery
Waiting for a prophecy
Loving in harmony
Through the waves of ecstasy
Fade a way a few more days
I'll be in a better place
Laid to rest and losing sleep
Through the pain and misery
I'm turning on
I feel a chill on my spine
I'm losing my mind
Am I alive
I feel it pulling me down
It's calling me now
Into the silence I tend to fade
Into the shadows I tend to fall
Fade a way a few more days
I'll be in a better place
I begin to slip away
Through the pain and misery
I'm turning on
I feel a chill on my spine
I'm losing my mind
Am I alive
I feel it pulling me down
It's calling me now
Into the silence I tend to fade
Into the shadows I tend to fall
I'm turning on
I feel a chill on my spine
I'm losing my mind
Am I alive
I feel it pulling me down
It's calling me now
Into the silence I tend to fade
Into the shadows I tend to fall
