The song ‘Misfortune??’ revolves around a person's stage of life where all things seems unfair, uncertain and unfortunate. It is a continuous struggle of being in a dark chaos alone, broken and confused feeding by unsure promises and lies.
The saddest fact that “we are all bound to face misfortune at some point of time in our life and you can't really seem to hide it, it just breaks you down, your emotional safeguard.”
The song is an end reminder how one can make it through this tough and crucial times while keeping in mind that it is the person himself who has the heart and the power to change the story, to change the situation, to change the world.
It conveys the fact that one can never find peace in one's own deeds but only through Christ himself can Give us hope and inner peace.
