The Curse
Preacher and The Knife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Place a spell on someone who has wronged you
You have removed my acquaintances far from me
You have made me an objection of loathing to them
I am shut in and I cannot go out
My curses 888
Omen, death will slay with its wings
You have taken for my closest friends
I am confined and I cannot escape
My curses 888
Serpent bite open door of sin
Blood on thy hands open door of sin
Serpent bite open door of sin
Blood on thy hands open door of sin
Serpent bite open door of sin
The spirits command the Oracle mind vessel for the dead
Dark art invisible forces unfortunate events
Smitten beaten battered torn
I prick the as a blade suffer now I will not wait
With this knife I seal your fate
Razors so sharp and made of steel
I strike you down the cuts you feel
Smitten beaten battered torn
I hex you now your pain is born
You have caused my companions to shun me
You made me a horror to them
I am shut in so I cannot escape
My curse is 888
My curse is 888
The lyrics to "The Curse" by Preacher and The Knife portray the emotions and actions of a person who has been wronged and seeks revenge through curses and hexes. The opening lines suggest a belief in supernatural powers, such as the curse of gods and the evil eye hoodoo, as a way to place a spell on someone who has caused harm. The singer laments how their acquaintances have been taken away from them, and they have become an object of disgust and loathing to these people. They feel confined and unable to escape from this situation, leading them to express their curses multiple times.
The following verses intensify the theme of revenge and the desire for the wrongdoer to suffer. The serpent bite and blood on the hands signify the entrance to sin, implying that the person being cursed is responsible for their own downfall. The lyrics then mention the command of spirits and the use of dark arts to bring about unfortunate events in the target's life. The verses also include references to physical violence, with phrases like "smitten beaten battered torn" and "razors so sharp and made of steel." The singer seals the target's fate with a knife, inflicting pain upon them as retribution.
