Breaking the Curse
Borealis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Empty bottles to the side
Scattered pages lie around me
Written words of better times
I won't let you be the key
Unlock what hides inside of me
A restless soul that longs to see
A lyric of a new beginning
A war against my demons will
Exorcise these thoughts from my head
Make time stand still
The lyrics of Borealis's song, Breaking the Curse, convey a sense of longing and pain, a feeling of being lost and helpless without the one you love. The first verse talks about a wasted night, empty bottles indicating a dependence on distraction from the pain. The scattered pages are remnants of better times written down in memories, now left scattered and incomplete. The singer refuses to let their loved one be the key to their happiness or the only solution to their problems, instead, they want to unlock what's inside of them, a restless soul that yearns for truth and self-discovery.
The second verse speaks of a war against one's own demons, battling to exorcise thoughts that haunt and consume, ultimately leading to a new beginning. The lyric alludes to the idea that only by wrestling with oneself can one be free of their own mental prison, time standing still as they work to become whole once again. The song is an intimate portrayal of the struggle to find oneself and break free from the chains of circumstance and sadness.
