The project of drummer and singer Nick Rattigan and guitarist Jacob Rubeck, Surf Curse formed in Reno in 2013, issuing their first album, Buds, later that June. An EP, Sad Boys, appeared in October, after which the band relocated to L.A., where they began to establish themselves in the city's vibrant underground scene. By 2017, they'd reemerged as part of the Danger Collective and released their second album, Nothing Yet. An update on the simplistic style of their debut, Surf Curse's sound began to soften somewhat as they explored new tones and slightly more complex song structures. This trend carried over to their third LP, 2019's Heaven Surrounds You, which was inspired by Rattigan and Rubeck's favorite cult movies.
All Is Lost
Surf Curse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you to stay
Even when you can't
Help me be okay
I want you to stay
Cause I want you again
Cause I want you again
Cause I want you again
Hurt me where you are
Hurt me when you say
I don't know who you are
I don't know what to say
Cause I lost you again
Cause I lost you again
Cause I lost you again
Cause I lost you again
Cause I lost you again
Cause I lost you again
Cause I lost you again
Cause I lost you again
Cause I lost you again
Cause I lost you again
Cause I lost you again
Cause I lost you again
Cause I lost you again
Cause I lost you again
The lyrics to Surf Curse's "All Is Lost" convey a sense of longing and desperation from the perspective of someone who has lost someone they deeply care about. The repetition of "I want you to stay" emphasizes a desire for the relationship to continue, even if it may be difficult or painful. The phrase "Help me be okay" suggests that being with this person brings a sense of emotional stability or comfort. However, there is also a sense of confusion and hurt that permeates the lyrics, as the singer admits "I don't know who you are" and is hurt by the other person's actions or words.
The repeated lines "Cause I lost you again" suggest that this is not the first time the singer has gone through this cycle of longing, hurt, and loss. The lyrics convey a sense of inner turmoil, with the singer struggling to make sense of their emotions and the situation. The final repetition of "Cause I lost you again" feels almost like a plea or a mantra, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that they can handle the pain of losing this person again.
Overall, "All Is Lost" is an emotional and introspective depiction of a tumultuous relationship, highlighting the complexity of human emotions and the difficulty of navigating intense feelings of love and loss.
