Despite being the second song Alan wrote after Afloat in the quarantine of 2020, Miserable Beings wouldn’t be out for another year until his second EP One of Those Days was released. Like many of his songs, the track speaks about suicidal ideation and feeling jaded.
Chorus
I'd like to leave (Let me leave)
For this skin drains me
Will I smile? (Will I?)
When I close my eyes?
I'd like to live (Let me live)
But this skin drains me
I wanna smile (I do)
Can you empathise? (Can you?)
Verse
We're all miserable beings (Yah)
We take our masks off at night
The world's kind when we dreaming (Dreaming)
We'd sell our souls for some light
I paint a pretty face and move on (Move on! Move on!)
Fantasising about the day I'll be gone
Chorus
Cause I'd like to leave (Let me leave)
For this skin drains me
Will I smile?
When I close my eyes?
I'd like to live (Let me live)
But this skin drains me
I wanna smile (I do)
Can you empathise?
