| i think this is saying that, no matter what she does or is, he will always be with her "hence this is my curse" | |

| i know it is wrong but when i read the lyrics i get it like that he and a girl were in love but he went crazy and she left him because he went into a mental institution like "dying inside these walls" so all he can do is want her to come visit him because he loves her but he cant see her or do antyihgn about it so all he can do is think about her and the video is like a hallucination he has like a dream about her and she looks like an angel to him because to him she really is i know its wrong but thats what i can get out of it just like the god and girl love meanings but ya just another side to it i got | |

| I don't think Howard is necessarily singing about a girl. He could be singing to God in some instances.."I strain my eyes hoping to see you again!" It's a great song and the guitars in it are amazing. | |

| it sounds to me like there were two people in a relationship and the one person screwed up and they're hoping that they can make things better have the other one come back. and i think that the "dying inside these walls" is a metaphor for being trapped and alone, by yourself. | |

| Go out and buy the album instead of stealing music. This is my curse (We're longing) This is my curse (Time) This is my curse (The yearning) This is my curse And the other This is my curse (The wanting) This is my curse (Time) This is my curse (The needing) From the booklet for the album. | |

| I think this song is a combination of the God theory and the love theory. It's about someone, who is in love, but is just to scared, or shy to do anything. When the guy goes up to the girl, he freezes, an can't say anything, and always blows it. He never gets a girl, and is always lonely. He then turns to god for help, so he could see a light to get over this fear of being lonely for the rest of his life. | |

| Quote from Wikipedia. Refers to the Music video as well as lyrics. "Much like the previous Killswitch Engage song, Rose of Sharyn from The End of Heartache album, My Curse pertains to the theme of dwelling on a passed loved one. The woman in the white dress in the field represents the man in black's life with her when he felt happy and free. The dark study is an embodiment of his depression after her death (To see you again, dying inside / These walls, dying inside), and the books the man flips through throughout the video represent his memories of her. After her death, he dwells on her passing (I strain my eyes, hoping to see you again) and tries to find a way to be with her again (There is love burning to find you / Will you wait for me? / Will you be there?). Ultimately, his memories consume him; however, as his memories finally kill him, he is finally able to reunite with his love (And I see your face). The man's "curse" was his love and longing for the deceased woman (This is my curse, the longing / This is my curse, time / This is my curse, the yearning)." | |
