The group eventually signed with Revelation Records in 2001 and their debut full-length CD, "Unfortunately We're Not Robots", would be released by Revelation Records in May 2002. Back in 2001, before the release of their first full-length album, the band also had ideas of recording an album of cover songs including covers of bands such as Slayer, Propaghandi, Josie and the Pussycats, Minor Threat, and Lifetime. The band continued on to record two EPs, each sharing a respective half of a broken sentence; the first having the title, "We May Be Through With the Past..." and the second with the title, "But The Past Ain't Through With Us". The former would be released through the aforementioned label, Status Recordings, while the later by Revelation Records. Upon obtaining a large underground following, they would continue on to record and release one more full length album titled, "The One Above All, the End of All That Is", before breaking up in late 2005 stating: "After almost seven years of being a band we have decided to call it quits. We want to say to everyone who has ever supported us in any way; thank you, this has truly been an amazing experience".

Curl Up and Die Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please forget me.
Just go home.
I'm breaking bones
Over roaming free, empty, and with nowhere to go.
Who wants a boy sad and hurt from you missing your call back?
I am not wanted when you are not around.
I hate myself and I can't help it.
I love you and can't help it.
I walk to have a hold on this.
Someone please help me.
I walk along silent roads trying to figure out
how to figure this all out.
Those times of trying too hard to have it all under control,
all understood, where nothing makes any sense.
I am the ghost lingering on behind in time past,
and there's nothing for me.
I want to have a hold on this.
Someone please help me.
(These are quick romances that are adding up kills.)
The opening lines of We by Curl Up and Die are directed to all the girls who show interest in the singer. He asks them to forget him and go home. The lyrics give the impression that he is suffering from a broken heart and is finding it difficult to move on. The lines "I'm breaking bones over roaming free, empty and with nowhere to go" suggest that he is trying to make sense of his situation by taking long walks or wandering around aimlessly.
The singer then goes on to explain that he is not wanted when the girls are not around. He hates himself for being unable to let go of his feelings and move on with his life. The lyrics "Because I don't know how to call it a night, I love you and can't help it" reveal his struggle to forget someone he still loves, even though it is hurting him.
The lines "I walk along silent roads trying to figure out how to figure this all out" give the impression of someone lost in thought, trying to make sense of a complicated situation. The singer is trying to understand why he is unable to let go of this person who has moved on. He asks for help, but no one seems to be there for him.
In the final lines of the song, "These are quick romances that are adding up kills," the singer recognizes that his behavior has led to a cycle of heartbreak and pain. He seems to be talking about himself in the third person, acknowledging his bad habits and how they have contributed to his suffering.
