Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Curse Of The Sun" by Nothing utilize repetition and simple language to make a powerful statement about humanity's tendency to squander resources, overindulge, and misuse their power. The opening lines encourage listeners to think about their own actions and the impact they have on the world around them. The line "We need a little more" suggests that there is always a desire for more, but this desire can sometimes lead to careless and destructive behavior.


The song then turns to criticize those who blindly follow without thinking. The "smiling, waving fools" are a metaphor for people who go along with the status quo without questioning it, while "thoughtless mules" represent those who do the bidding of others without thinking for themselves. These lines suggest that blind obedience and mindless consumption contribute to larger societal issues.


The final verse takes a more confrontational tone, as the lyrics describe the human body as being made of "blood and semen/Piss and shit." By reducing humanity to its most basic biological components, the song challenges listeners to consider their own inherent flaws and limitations. The phrase "never unpolluted/never coming clean" emphasizes the idea that humans are forever tainted by their own behaviors and actions.


Overall, "Curse Of The Sun" is a powerful commentary on the ways in which humanity can be its own worst enemy, through greed, indifference, and a lack of critical thinking.

Wow, this is great... Sounds kind of smashing pumpkins, and kind of new and novel. Original enough to not be considered a ripoff of somebody else. I like it.
I came here from "Curse the son" Which also rocks.
