The way I understand it as a Christian, the blessings or the good times that God gives us are not "end-all" periods of infinite happiness. We live in a fallen world, a one corrupted by sin that wars agaisnt regeneration-- as long as we live by the Spirit, we will still feel the tension and pull of our opposite nature. Receiving and acknowledging the benefits of our union with Christ directly puts us at odds with the world.

I believe he is referring to his "Vice Verses" causing the curses. In the song "Where I Belong" he says he wants to live his life like a song. His Vice Verses would probably the parts of his "song" where he messed up. In that line he probably means that for every blessing he gets, he messes up so much that a set of curses always comes to him too. That's my opinion

One line that I don't understand is;
'Every blessing comes with a set of curses'
Is this true? How are we as Christians to understand this?
