Purgatory
Curt D.I.S.S. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yuh Purgatory
The land between life and death
Let's explore your story
Break a sweat
Protect your neck
You can't breathe
Without a respiratory
System how shocking is that shit
They carry a smith and Wesson
To protect what's left up in that bitch
Idolizing shitty rappers flying jets
Money ain't the issue yet
It's the influence
You use to respect
No scratches on my vest
So I guess
It's been a while
Since I snapped
Freddy Krueger in the back
Nightmares spinning on the track
It seems to be some strings attached
I'm unmatched
Smoking death like I was smoking reefer
Psych the press
Who can impress this cheater
It's like you'll never need her
Or maybe him
Seeing all these stars alining
Why are all these kids are dying first
How can we save the kin
Crashed inside the ride
Straight into a hearse
People take dark paths
Just to say they win
You want real then
Fuck it then
Purgatory
Got me feeling like im Dexter
In his laboratory
Maybe I'm Hannibal Lecter
The way I eat up any category
This statement becoming mandatory
Until im dead
Don't praise me glory
Like any dead loved one
Pour one out
And tell their stories
I can combust any chump
I'm ace with the spade
Or maybe I'm grade A
But it ain't about the money
But that's the ticket to the fame
No drugs or alcohol
To get rid of the pain
That's the same sentence
That gone make you take the blame
Breaking glass like it's bones
Pieces of the frame
Scattered inside the home
To much time in this world
I need to be alone
Corrupt people any position
Stacking like Capone
Illuminati shit
Three sides being unknown




Complicated decision making
Lyrics inside my dome

Overall Meaning

In "Purgatory," Curt D.I.S.S. explores the concept of being stuck between life and death. Purgatory represents a state of limbo, where one's story is still unfolding. The lyrics suggest that in order to truly understand and navigate through this state, one must exert effort and remain vigilant in protecting oneself. The mention of the respiratory system highlights the fragile nature of life and the realization that without it, one cannot exist. The image of carrying a Smith and Wesson, a powerful firearm, emphasizes the need for self-protection in this uncertain realm.


The lyrics critique the idolization of superficial and talentless rappers who flaunt their wealth, highlighting that money is not the issue but rather the negative influence they exert. The singer reflects on their own absence from the mainstream scene, implying that it has been a while since they received acclaim. The mention of Freddy Krueger and nightmares spinning on the track suggests that they bring a darker and more profound perspective, with a sense of unease or foreboding. The notion of strings being attached implies that there are hidden forces at play, and the singer asserts their uniqueness and individuality.


The following lines express a double entendre, with smoking death resembling smoking marijuana and also suggesting a disregard for danger. The singer taunts the press, confident in their ability to impress and manipulate it. The lyrics touch on themes of detachment in relationships, questioning why so many young people die before they have a chance to fulfill their potential. The darker path represents a desperate desire for success and recognition. The crash into a hearse symbolizes the ultimate consequence of these choices.


The lyrics then shift to a discussion about personal ambition and determination. The singer compares themselves to Dexter and Hannibal Lecter, iconic fictional characters known for their intelligence and cunning. The imagery of eating up any category implies a voracious appetite for success and dominance. The mention of pouring one out for the dead loved ones acknowledges their memory and shares their stories. The singer boasts about their ability to defeat anyone in their path, likening themselves to an ace with the spade (a high-ranking card) or grade A (indicating excellence). However, they emphasize that fame is not about the money but rather the means to achieve it.


The lyrics also touch on the singer's refusal to seek solace in drugs or alcohol to numb their pain. This decision is significant in their quest for authenticity and self-discovery. Breaking glass symbolizes shattering conventions, and the scattered pieces represent the fragments of their existence. The mention of corrupt people in positions of power suggests a skepticism toward authority and a desire for transparency. The allusion to the Illuminati, a secretive and alleged influential group, invokes a sense of conspiracy and complexity. The lyrics conclude by describing the intricate decision-making process that goes into crafting meaningful and impactful lyrics.
