Agnes Obel – The Curse Lyrics 8 years ago
My first interpretation of the lyrics was that The Curse was the fear of death or dying, e.g. came from underground; gave hope to live unlike before; the cycle of life and death is suggested in mentioning winter and the grass growing beneath as well as [it being] a blessing in disguise. Simply put: only in death can creation be found--can life truly be cherished. That is The Curse and the blessing of our fragility in the universe. Our mortality. Our desire to live our life. Our love. Our humanity.



One could also apply it to the political condition of the current administration.
