Curxes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Subtle, or vacant
When thinking of ways that could persuade
The one from the home lands
The safest of all hands
That there is a name that should have stayed
Standing in front of
Do you just treat them
The same, the same, the same, the same, oh?
I am the creature
Of fauna and feature
Waiting to teach you
A different game
For all reasons, falter, breath then
Come through
Any piece of leisurely mind
Find its presence, find...
Trying to be everything but anything of mine
Any piece of leisurely mind
Find its pleasures, find!
Standing in front of
Any real reason
Do you just bleed them
The same, the same, the same, the same, oh?
I am a creature
Of fauna and feature
Waiting to teach you
A different game
For all reasons, falter, breath then
Come through
Any piece of leisurely mind
Find its presence, find...
Trying to be everything but anything of mine
Any piece of leisurely mind
Find its pleasures, find!
The song "Valkyrie" by Curxes is a hauntingly beautiful track that explores the idea of being patient and persuasive in order to persuade someone to stay.

The line "The safest of all hands that there is a name that should have stayed" implies that the loved one is safe and secure where they are, and that the singer believes they should stay there.
The chorus of the song, "Standing in front of irrational reasons, do you just treat them the same," suggests that the singer is fighting against irrational thinking and trying to make sense of their own feelings. The line "I am the creature of fauna and feature, waiting to teach you a different game" implies that the singer is willing to show the loved one a different way of thinking and being.
Overall, "Valkyrie" is a beautiful and complex song that explores themes of love, loss, patience, and persuasion.
