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.
Goth Babe
Surf Curse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want someone I can bite
I want to listen to the cure
I want to tell you that I'm yours
We can shoegaze in my room
So we can sing about our gloom
I want to feel you in my soul
If you feel the way I do
If you feel the way I do
If you feel the way I do
I want a goth babe in my head
A girl dressed in black in red
To do a seance in my bed
And then we'll fuck till we're both dead
Candle wax dropped on my nips
While we worship Robert Smith
I want to feel you in my soul
If you feel the way I do
If you feel the way I do
If you feel the way I do
If you feel the way I do
The Surf Curse's song "Goth Babe" is a whimsical tune that talks about one's desire to have a goth girlfriend who shares the same musical interests and emotional intensity. The song's protagonist insists on having someone who admires the same band "The Cure," and they can indulge in shoegazing together while celebrating their gloomy moods. The lyrics recount the singer's longing for a dark, intense, and passionate relationship filled with kissing and seances that will lead to sexual intimacy.
The lyrics are quite explicit and showcase the singer's desire for a partner who shares similar interests and is dressed all in black and red. The line, "Candle wax dropped on my nips, while we worship Robert Smith," adds a layer of kinkiness to the song. The singer wants his partner to be more than just a romantic partner but also someone who they can connect with on an existential level.
Overall, "Goth Babe" is a song that expresses the need for a more alternative and unconventional romantic relationship with someone who shares the same intensity and interests.
