Curl Up & Die Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I have a cold.
But we're not in love, we're just alone.
Like a drug company's overdose.
Trying to replace our heads with holes.
We're missing days and spending weeks.
Only passing through looking for company.
Like a body drained of blood.
My Flaw, Our Failure.
The lyrics of Curl Up & Die's song "Instrumental" depict a toxic relationship that two people are stuck in because of loneliness. The singer compares the way his partner kisses to cough syrup when he has a cold - something that is necessary but doesn't feel good. The couple is not in love, but they stay together because they are both alone. The singer then likens their situation to a drug company's overdose, where they are trying to fill the void in their lives with something that is only hurting them more.
The lyrics continue to describe the couple's futile attempts to find fulfillment in their relationship. They are missing out on days and just existing, looking for someone to keep them company. The singer notes that the sex they have is unsatisfying and only leaves them feeling empty. He compares it to a body drained of blood, indicating that their relationship is slowly killing them.
Ultimately, the song's message is that the couple's flaw is their willingness to settle for less than they really want or need. They are failing themselves by staying in a situation that is ultimately harmful. "Instrumental" is a poignant commentary on the dangers of loneliness and the importance of finding true love and happiness.
Line by Line Meaning
She kisses like cough syrup
When I have a cold.
Her kisses are sickly sweet, artificially pleasant, a temporary relief from my loneliness, like cough syrup is a temporary relief from a cold.
But we're not in love, we're just alone.
Like a drug company's overdose.
Our relationship is not based on true feelings, we're just together to fill the void of loneliness. It's like an overdose of drugs that can temporarily numb the pain, but in reality, it's harmful and not a permanent solution.
Trying to replace our heads with holes.
We're trying to numb our minds and escape from reality by creating holes in our heads, either by using drugs or through other means, to forget our problems and live in a false reality.
We're missing days and spending weeks.
Only passing through looking for company.
We're lost and aimless, moving through time without direction, searching for temporary companionship to fill the emptiness inside us. We're just passing through, not really living.
And semen released is a rotting stomach.
Sex doesn't bring happiness or satisfaction; instead, it's like a rotting feeling in the stomach, an empty and unpleasant sensation that doesn't bring fulfillment.
Like a body drained of blood.
My Flaw, Our Failure.
Our relationship is like a lifeless body, drained of all energy and emotion. It's a failure caused by my own flaws and shortcomings, as well as our collective issues that can't be ignored or solved.

There was a time
When I worshipped the ground you walked on
There was a time
When I'd cut off my ear for you
There was a time
When I worshipped the towel you dried on
There was a time
When I'd kill all my friends for you
You're the only one
Makes me wanna cry
You're the only one
Makes me wanna eat up inside
You're the only one
Makes me feel alive
You're the only one
Makes me wanna go home and curl up and die
Curl up and die
There was a time
When there was only you and no one
There was a time
When I'd take any pity shag
You're the only one
Makes me wanna cry
You're the only one
Makes me wanna move to Versailles
You're the only one
Makes me feel alive
You're the only one
Makes me wanna go home and curl up and die
Curl up and die
I was just the dirt on your shoes
And I liked being that
I was just the germs in your flu
And I liked being that
I was just the chip on your tooth
And I liked being that
I was just the me to your you
And I liked being that
