Misfit Biscuit

In 'Misfit Biscuit,' Wasia Project delves into the emotional turmoil of feeling isolated and misunderstood. The song opens with the narrator expressing disappointment in someone they thought would be a source of comfort during their times of depression. This sets the stage for a recurring theme of unmet expectations and the pain of feeling invisible. The lyrics poignantly capture the narrator's frustration with being ignored, as their 'angry little anxious eyes' go unnoticed. This imagery effectively conveys the depth of their emotional struggle and the sense of betrayal they feel.

The chorus highlights the profound loneliness of the narrator, who likens themselves to a 'misfit' sitting alone with a biscuit. This metaphor underscores the simplicity and mundanity of their existence, emphasizing their isolation. The repetition of the idea that they have 'no people to tour with, no message to send' further amplifies their sense of purposelessness and disconnection from the world. The hope that 'maybe soon he'll make a friend' reveals a glimmer of optimism amidst the despair, suggesting a longing for genuine human connection.

As the song progresses, the narrator grapples with self-doubt, questioning whether their own actions have contributed to their loneliness. They wonder if they are 'boring' or if their 'silly quirks' and 'fancy shirts' are off-putting to others. This introspection adds a layer of complexity to the song, as it explores the interplay between self-perception and external validation. The closing lines offer a hopeful resolution, with the narrator dreaming of a day when they will find someone who cares and accepts them for who they are, so they no longer have to 'pretend.' This ending provides a sense of closure and a hopeful outlook for the future, resonating with anyone who has ever felt like a misfit in search of belonging.
