The final song on FIDLAR’s third album, 2019’s Almost Free, was inspired by a friend of the band who wouldn’t talk through a problem. Singer/guitarist Zac Carper came up with the song on the way to the final day of recording. Producer Ricky Reed helped the band finish the song by suggesting it chang...
[Verse 1]
Talk to me, I don’t wanna be your enemy
Whatever happen to communication, conversation?
Talk to me, I miss the way that it used to be
Now you hide behind the walls created, separated
[Chorus]
Misery, you could use a little company
I always thought that we’d be sad together, sad forever
I confess, I’m only happy when I’m depressed
So don’t forget me when you’re feeling better
Whatever
[Verse 2]
Cry for help, I prefer to get high for help
You know that therapy is so expensive, oh, you’re so defensive
Are you jaded? Well, at least you got compensated!
Do you really think your time was wasted?
Man, times are changing
[Chorus]
Misery, you could use a little company
I always thought that we’d be sad together, sad forever
I confess, I’m only happy when I’m depressed
So don’t forget me when you’re feeling better
Whatever
[Bridge]
The good, good times are over
The good, good times are over
You should've told me last October
I guess I’ll go get sober again
[Chorus]
Misery, you could use a little company
I always thought that we’d be sad together, sad forever
I confess, I’m only happy when I’m depressed
So don’t forget me when you’re feeling better
Whatever
[Outro]
Feeling better
Whatever
Feeling better
Whatever

It was about this person in our lives. You know those people that just like don’t talk to you? You know something’s wrong, but they won’t tell you what’s wrong? “Oh no, everything’s good.” I’m like, “No, no. Something’s wrong. Come on, you can talk to me.” But for whatever reason, he didn’t want to...
We had one day in the studio to fuck around, because it was the last day. Basically, on the drive to the studio, I had the melody and the first lines. Then I got back to the studio, and we were just jamming, and this song came out. And then Ricky’s idea was like, “What if it modulates? What if it c...
When we started looking at sequences, it just felt like a good closer. We always want our records to start really strong, and we want them to end strong, too. For some reason that just felt naturally like it should be there, you know?
