Through the years, the band had the chance to perform as supporting act for Blaze Bayley, Paul Di Anno and Eminence.

The shows led Soulline to win the W:O:A Swiss Metal Battle ’08, Bern, and to perform at Wacken Open Air with Iron Maiden, Nightwish, Children of Bodom, Carcass, At the Gates and many more, on august the same year.

The band is now recording their second release which should be ready in the summer 2010, while continuing to follow their need to play live.

The music of the band leads to a certain open-mindedness and keeps at its heart the link to any feeling or sensation that constitute human being.

The Curse
Soulline Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We don′t want to die
We don't want to leave
We don′t want to say
We don't want to hear

We don't want to touch
We don′t want to smell
We don′t want to taste

We don't want to feel

In the system of our lives
The powers choose for us
The way we hate to leave, waiting!

So reality is not for us
They choose what we believe
Either way we′re meant to be, corrupted!

This, the curse in our minds
When we have to face passivity
This, the blame of the shades
When we have no force to get through it

We don't want to care
We don′t want to give
We don't want to hold
We don′t want to cure

We don't want to judge
We don't want to blame
We don′t want to hate
We don′t want to love

In the system of our lives
The powers choose for us
The way we hate to leave, waiting!

So reality is not for us
They choose what we believe
Either way we're meant to be, corrupted!

This, the curse in our minds
When we have to face passivity
This, the blame of the shades
When we have no force to get through it

The call that we have cried
When our hands grasped for safety
This hope that we have lost
When we felt that things were getting worse

This, the curse in our minds
When we have to face passivity
This, the blame of the shades
When we have no force to get through it

The call that we have cried
When our hands grasped for safety

This hope that we have lost
When we felt that things were getting worse!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Soulline's song The Curse convey feelings of helplessness and resignation in the face of a system that seems to govern every aspect of our lives, from the way we think and feel to the choices we make. The repeated lines "We don't want to" underscore a sense of powerlessness and reinforce the idea that the individual has no agency to make meaningful decisions. The line "In the system of our lives, the powers choose for us" highlights the overarching sense of oppression that pervades the song.

The lyrical tone throughout is one of despair tinged with anger. The phrase "This, the curse in our minds" suggests a shared experience of struggle and torment that the singer identifies as a systemic issue. The song's final lines, "This hope that we have lost when we felt that things were getting worse," present a bleak view of our collective future, where hope is in short supply and the promise of change seems remote.
