Curse + Crush Lyrics
We try to understand
The right to life like fire to the arson
You got it right at last, but then the world
Had a different plan and it took it all away
Years and years you fought
To try to light your darkness with a reason
Maybe a woman someday, maybe even a child
To hold and help and start over again
And we run and we gun and we die young
And we curse and we crush and we hide
And we fight and we fuck and we make up
And we love and we shove it aside
Years and years you fought
To try to light your darkness with a reason
Maybe a woman someday, maybe even a child
To hold and help and start over again
And we run and we gun and we die young And we curse and we crush and we hide
And we fight and we fuck and we make up
And we love and we shove it aside
Your eyes they shine, they shine from somewhere else
I’m going in and out, I gotta lie down
Never seen a light like that myself
And we run and we gun and we die young
And we curse and we crush and we hide
And we fight and we fuck and we make up
And we love and we shove it aside
Your eyes they shine, they shine from somewhere else
I’m going in and out, I got to lie down
Never seen a light like that myself
Your eyes they shine, they shine from somewhere else
The right to life like fire to the arson
You got it right at last, but then the world
Had a different plan and it took it all away
To try to light your darkness with a reason
Maybe a woman someday, maybe even a child
To hold and help and start over again
And we curse and we crush and we hide
And we fight and we fuck and we make up
And we love and we shove it aside
To try to light your darkness with a reason
Maybe a woman someday, maybe even a child
To hold and help and start over again
And we fight and we fuck and we make up
And we love and we shove it aside
I’m going in and out, I gotta lie down
Never seen a light like that myself
And we curse and we crush and we hide
And we fight and we fuck and we make up
And we love and we shove it aside
I’m going in and out, I got to lie down
Never seen a light like that myself

For me, it's about a struggle with deep mental illness, probably depression. Specifically:
"For years and years you fought to try to light your darkness with a reason."
Boy do I feel that some days.
Also, the things that people reach for when they're in a deep, dark place. Specifically:
"Maybe a woman someday, maybe even a child to hold and help and start over again."
The rest of it describes my life to a T when I was deep in depression, married, and living with my ex partner.
"And we run and we gun and we die young" - Always something going on, life is busy especially when you're living with mental illness.
"And we curse and we crush and we hide" - Adds to the "life is busy" bit. You curse the things you have to do to live, but you crush them because you have to, and then, out of spoons, you hide away to recharge.
"And we fight and we fuck and we make up" - This describes the disagreement, fight, resolution, make up pattern in a relationship. Living with mental illness, you go through this cycle A LOT with your partner.
"And we love and we shove it aside" - in the end, you remember that you love each other and push the fight aside because in the end, it's insignificant compared to a lifetime of love with your partner.
It's almost like "there's a war inside me, I tried to fix it with all these things, but in the end, what matters is the love of my partner, friends, and family."
I am in LOVE with this song.
This song specifies itself as part of war or a particular battle, but I think the meaning can apply to many things. To me, this song means that there are indeed horrors in situations, and you must live with that no matter how hard you try. Kind of like a curse
