It's a Curse
Ethereal Journey: Unveiling the Enigmatic Tale of 'It's a Curse'
Lyrics
Just the other night
Reflecting on a recent night
Body twisted in a pattern
Body contorted in a specific manner
You know they stare at the light
Others gaze at the light
They are too dead but the body don't mind
People are lifeless, but the body remains unaffected
Oh, oh, oh
Repetitive vocalization, possibly expressing emotion or distress
Oh, oh, oh
-Oh, oh, oh
-Oh, oh, oh
-You know a neutral sky
Describing an uneventful, featureless sky
And nothing to do at night
No activities during the night
Little highway lights
Referring to small lights along a highway
They shine
Emphasizing the brightness of these lights
Well, from the top of the mountain
Describing a journey from a mountain to the edge of town with nothing remarkable
To the rock and sand
-Drive a dead farther west
-'Til they ran out of land
-We walked five whole minutes
-To the dark edge of town
-Took a long look at nothing
-And turned back around
-Oh, oh, oh
Reiteration of emotional or existential distress
Oh, oh, oh
-Oh, oh, oh
-Oh, oh, oh
-You know the neutral sky
Repetition of the uneventful sky and night
And nothing to do at night
No activities during the night
Little highway lights
Reference to small lights on the highway
They shine
Highlighting the brightness of these lights
Under the new sun now
Introduction of a new sun, suggesting a change or renewal, and expressing a sense of constant presence
They're coming only alive
-I might be here all the time
-And I share no body no mind
-Under the new sun now
Reiteration of the theme of a new sun and a constant presence
They're coming only alive
-I might be here all the time
-And I share no body no mind
-From the top of the mountain
Revisiting the journey motif, driving west until running out of land, and a contemplative moment at the edge of town
To the rotten sand
-We're driving back
-Farther west until it ran out of land
-We walked five whole minutes
-To the dark edge of town
-Took a long look at nothing
-And then turned back around
