Cursed
Deadsun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My face was ready to explode.
My eyes are bloodshot red.
I dragged myself up from my knees and bravely falls ahead.
I shook and my eyes adjust. I hit the wall instead.
Curse these four walls. Curse the sky.
Stuck on stupid. I don't know why
It's hard to catch the feeling from a million miles away.
It's hard to get the meaning, when my mind is gone a stray.
Curse these four walls. Curse the sky.
Stuck on stupid. I don't know why.
I don't wanna' blame the mourning
Blame my lie. Sometimes it's so hard to just get by.
I know everything will change.
Yeah, nothing stays the same.
A temporary thing, that seems eternal.
Like swimming with the maker tied around your feet.
You must reach in and untie it, before it drags you in too deep.
Curse these four walls. Curse the sky.
Stuck on stupid. I don't know why.
I don't wanna' blame my mourning.
Blame my lie. Sometimes it's so hard, to just get by.
I know everything will change.
Yeah, nothing stays the same.
A temporary thing, that seems eternal
The lyrics to Deadsun's song "Cursed" speak to the struggles of feeling trapped and weighed down by one's own thoughts and circumstances. The first verse describes the singer waking up feeling overwhelmed and disoriented, struggling to navigate the space around them. The repetition of the line "Curse these four walls. Curse the sky" emphasizes their sense of feeling trapped and stuck.
The chorus reflects on the difficulty of trying to understand and cope with strong emotions when feeling disconnected and lost. The singer acknowledges that they don't have all the answers and may not even know why they're feeling the way they are. However, they try to avoid blaming outside factors like mourning or lying, recognizing that the difficulty of just getting by is often an internal struggle.
The second verse uses vivid imagery to describe the feeling of being pulled down by something heavier than oneself, and the need to consciously work to release oneself from that weight. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for depression or other mental health struggles, but could also apply to more tangible struggles like addiction or a toxic relationship.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of someone struggling to find their footing in a difficult time, but acknowledging that nothing stays the same forever and that change is always possible.
