It's a Curse Lyrics

Cover art for It's a Curse lyrics by Wolf Parade

"Just the other night Body twisted in a pattern You know they stare at the light They are too dead but the body don't mind"

I think the "they are too dead" part is talking about people who are kind of mentally or spiritually drifting through life just going through the motions and never really being happy.

You know a neutral sky And nothing to do at night Little highway lights They shine

Then the neutral sky part is talking about life being neautral with nothing good ever happening and the highway lights I think, symbolize hope or something positive like that.

From the top of the mountain To the rock and sand Drive a dead farther west Til they ran out of land We walked five whole minutes To the dark edge of town Took a long look at nothing And turned back around

Then I think that part is about not being able to find happiness and just going back to having a mediocre boring life. It's kind of late so I hope that made some sense. :\
