The Curse
Streetside Symphony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I Cant Break These Chains That Hold Me Down
I Said Woman Wont You Set Me Free
Undo That Spell That You Cast On Me Now
When It Rains It Pours
And Your Pouring Down
I've Got To Find Shelter
Cause Woman You Make My Heart Bleed
When I've Got No More Blood To Bleed
So I Said Woman Why Cant You See
That It Hurts So Bad When You Come Down On Me
You Know Its True Baby
When It Rains It Pours
And Your Pouring Down
I've Got To Find Shelter
To Save Me Now
Don't You See Me Standing Here
I Know That You Hear Me Loud And Clear
I've Been Screaming Out Loud
Begging For You To Change
When It Rains It Pours
And Your Pouring Down
I've Got To Find Shelter
To Save Me Now
Don't You See Me Standing Here
I Know That You Hear Me Loud And Clear
I've Been Screaming Out Loud
Begging For You To Change
I Said Woman I Said Woman
You Got Your Hold On Me
Oh You Got Your Hold On Me Baby
Oh Yes You Do Oh Yes You Do
I Said Woman You Put A Curse On Me
So Undo That Spell That You Cast On Me Now
In this song, Streetside Symphony talks about a woman who has put a curse on him. He accuses her of casting a spell on him, making it impossible for him to break free from the chains that hold him down. He pleads with her to set him free by undoing the spell. He compares the feeling of being under her curse to being in the middle of a rainstorm with no shelter and feeling like he is bleeding from his heart without any more blood left to bleed.
The repetition of the lines "When it rains, it pours, and you're pouring down, I've got to find shelter to save me now" emphasize how deeply affected Streetside Symphony is by the curse. He is desperately searching for a way out and feels helpless without the woman taking her hold and removing the curse. He acknowledges that the woman knows how much he suffers under her curse but cannot seem to understand the magnitude of the problem.
The emotional and vulnerable lyrics in this song showcase the toxic patterns of a cursed relationship. Streetside Symphony is desperately trying to break free from the hold the woman has over him, but he cannot seem to do it on his own.
