The Curse
Odium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remove my fucking crown
Please just let me bleed
On my wounds they feed
Like swine to the slaughter, I mislead
Hood up head down
Remove my fucking crown
Please just let me bleed
Like swine to the slaughter, I mislead
Doomed to be alone
They're here to dethrone
Axe down my progress
Before I digress
Never gonna rest
Good things tainted
Blood splatters and pills
Canvas painted
I'm ready to kill
I'm ready to kill
I'm ready to kill
They say I'm ill
Isn't this who I am?
I'm not what you think
Always on the fucking brink
This broken dishevelled man
The demons nosing in
No tools to begin
I enter my descent
Sharp rocks, uneven ground
I don't think I'll be found
Wake up for a smoke
Dreaming til' the day I choke
I need to feel more fucking numb
I'm smoking every crumb
Hood up head down
Remove my fucking crown
Please just let me bleed
On my wounds they feed
Like swine to the slaughter, I mislead
Hood up head down
Remove my fucking crown
Please just let me bleed
On my wounds they feed
Like swine to the slaughter, I mislead
There is always something worse
There is always something else
The secret to enjoying lifes curse
Is hanging from a belt
One filthy habit betrayed for another filthy habit
Taking shit to numb shit
Cowards way out
No doubt
Left to his devices
Unnoticed vices
Liked to be apart
Took weeks to noticed he departed
The smell that lingers
Clings on like fingers
The state of decay
To which we are all prey
Come one and all to see
The failure of a man
Brittle mind and weak body
Not caged but never free
Hot fucking ashes
In between my feet
Smell that burning skin
Can't hurt the elite
Slipping into the unknown
Remnants of my home
Strewn through the gloom
Mind and body consume
Perfect twilight fears
From ear to ear
Cut through the flesh
Put to the test
Wake to the debris
That set me free
All I ever needed, was death to save me
The lyrics of Odium's "The Curse" delve deep into themes of despair, self-destruction, and a sense of hopelessness that permeates throughout the song. The repetitive nature of the lines "Hood up head down, Remove my fucking crown, Please just let me bleed, On my wounds they feed, Like swine to the slaughter, I mislead" illustrates a cycle of pain and misery the singer finds themselves trapped in. The imagery of being led like a swine to the slaughter paints a grim picture of being manipulated and misled by external forces.
The lyrics also touch upon the feeling of isolation and being misunderstood, with lines like "Doomed to be alone, They're here to dethrone." This sense of alienation is further highlighted by the mention of the singer being "broken disheveled man" and feeling like the demons are constantly creeping in, emphasizing a struggle with inner demons and mental anguish.
The theme of addiction and self-destructive behavior is prevalent throughout the song, with references to using substances like pills and smoking to numb the pain. The lines "I need to feel more fucking numb, I'm smoking every crumb" speak to a desire to escape from reality and cope with overwhelming emotions, even if it means resorting to destructive habits.
The final stanza brings a sense of finality and acceptance of death as a form of release from suffering. The singer sees death as a way to finally be free from the turmoil and inner demons that haunt them. The imagery of "hot fucking ashes, In between my feet, Smell that burning skin, Can't hurt the elite" suggests a disregard for personal well-being and a willingness to endure pain for the sake of achieving a sense of liberation. Overall, the lyrics of "The Curse" paint a bleak and haunting picture of a person trapped in a cycle of self-destructive behavior and seeking solace in the idea of death as a form of salvation.

Hood up head down
I'm hiding away, trying to stay unnoticed
Remove my fucking crown
I don't want this burden of responsibility anymore
Please just let me bleed
Let me release my pain and anguish
On my wounds they feed
Others thrive on my suffering
Like swine to the slaughter, I mislead
I blindly lead myself to destruction
Doomed to be alone
Destined for loneliness
They're here to dethrone
Others want to take away my power
Axe down my progress
My achievements are being destroyed
Before I digress
Before I lose my focus
Never gonna rest
There is no peace for me
Good things tainted
Even positive things are ruined
Blood splatters and pills
Violence and addiction cloud my life
Canvas painted
My life is filled with despair
I'm ready to kill
I'm ready to end it all
They say I'm ill
Others see me as sick and damaged
Isn't this who I am?
Is this my true identity?
I'm not what you think
I'm more complex than you realize
Always on the fucking brink
Always on the edge of collapse
This broken dishevelled man
I'm a shattered and chaotic individual
The demons nosing in
My inner darkness is taking over
No tools to begin
I lack the resources to improve
I enter my descent
I'm spiraling into despair
Sharp rocks, uneven ground
My path ahead is treacherous
I don't think I'll be found
I believe I'll be lost forever
Wake up for a smoke
I wake up to escape reality
Dreaming til' the day I choke
I dream of my own demise
I need to feel more fucking numb
I crave emotional numbness
I'm smoking every crumb
I'll take any escape I can find
There is always something worse
There is always deeper suffering
There is always something else
There is always more pain to come
The secret to enjoying lifes curse
The key to surviving life's hardships
Is hanging from a belt
Is succumbing to self-harm
One filthy habit betrayed for another filthy habit
Trading one destructive behavior for another
Taking shit to numb shit
Using substances to numb my pain
Cowards way out
Choosing the easy way to escape
No doubt
I have no uncertainty in my decision
Left to his devices
Alone with his destructive tendencies
Unnoticed vices
Hidden addictions and habits
Liked to be apart
Preferred to be isolated
Took weeks to noticed he departed
No one noticed his absence for weeks
The smell that lingers
The lasting traces of decay
Clings on like fingers
It's a persistent reminder
The state of decay
My deteriorating mental state
To which we are all prey
We are all vulnerable to decline
Come one and all to see
Witness my tragic downfall
The failure of a man
The collapse of a person
Brittle mind and weak body
My fragile mental and physical state
Not caged but never free
Not imprisoned, but still trapped
Hot fucking ashes
Burning remnants of my past
In between my feet
Constantly surrounding me
Smell that burning skin
Suffering is always present
Can't hurt the elite
I'm immune to further pain
Slipping into the unknown
Losing myself in uncertainty
Remnants of my home
Echoes of a happier time
Strewn through the gloom
Scattered in darkness
Mind and body consume
My despair consumes me entirely
Perfect twilight fears
Anxiety that emerges at nightfall
From ear to ear
My pain spreads from within
Cut through the flesh
Physical pain pierces through me
Put to the test
Challenged to endure even more
Wake to the debris
Awakening to my shattered existence
That set me free
Liberated by my own destruction
All I ever needed, was death to save me
Only death can bring me peace and release
