“Cursed To Die” by Lorna Shore

Needless to say, the lyrics of Lorna Shore’s “Cursed to Die” are such that we’re going to have to take some risks theoretically in the name of attempting to comprehensively interpret them. And at the forefront of this analysis is the hypothetical premise that this song was inspired by the Bible and other such stories which center on the creation and “fall” of man.

Along those lines, the vocalist himself takes on the role of a cosmic entity. The said entity may actually be two sides of the same coin in a manner of speaking, i.e. life and death or God and the devil, however you prefer to see it like. 

And going back to the postulation that this piece is Biblically inspired, what it appears he is speaking to are concepts such as sin being the cause of death, and humans being naturally inclined to screw up in such ways regardless. So with that philosophy in mind, the thesis sentiment revolves around “life” itself being an intrinsic “blessing”, even though we are inevitably “cursed to die”.
