Relient K - Curl Up And Die Lyrics






I don't like the steps I took
To get to look
Into your deepest feelings

I don't like the place I'm in
Headspace within the hardwood and the ceiling

Cause if I'm restless
Then why do I
I want nothing but to rest my soul

And I don't get this and I know why
You see sometimes things are just beyond control

But I don't mind
But I'm not surprised to find that you do
I'm not surprised to find that you do
I know you do

And I feel fine
But I know the same does not apply to you
I know the same does not apply to you
So I guess that I'll curl up and die, too.

Clinging to the remnants of perfection
Like most do after they break it
Not knowing which directions the correct one
Do I discard or remake it

Cause if I don't know then I don't know
But I may know someone that knows me more than I
And if I somehow could rest this soul
Maybe control could find its way back to my life

But I don't mind
You see I know that I have done all this to you
To you

Yeah I'll curl up with you
Until I die with you [3x]
Yeah I'll curl up with you yeah my baby, yeah my darlin'
Until I die with you...

Relient K Curl Up And Die Comments
  1. H.... G....

    Always such a clear voice and have listened to them for many years. The music in this one with the hooks is spot on and I love this song as well as death bed and many of their songs. Definitely makes me tear up and put it on repeat in my headphones... my world, my love. Music. ...and here we go again! (: <3

  2. j.... w....

    Well I ruined everything. Someone run me over

  3. l.... G....

    2019 anyone?

  4. T.... N....

    So I guess that I'll curl up and die, too

  5. D.... A....

    This was a song shared between me and my first love. And it brings back memories of us in highschool. I feel crying now.

  6. B.... S....

    This has the same rift as "You'll always be my best friend" I love it so much

  7. R.... �....

    i really like relient k... they preach the word without even preaching it... most likely the lyrics are personal notes on their belief. The references "ill curl up with you until i die with you", "but i know the same does not apply to you", "you see i know that i have done all this to you"... can only refer to... oh wait... i dont have to preach if you know what i mean.

  8. B.... C....

    The I know I have done all this to you line is subtle but suggests that Matt blames himself for her suicide thoughts, and that's why he's so willing to curl up and die

  9. v.... g....

    Best song aever

  10. G.... M....

    I can’t listen this song anymore, this song remember somebody, but is my favorite song, is like a torture for me

  11. N.... ....

    I like listening to sad songs. They make me feel normal. They make me feel like things were always meant to be kinda fucked up. When Christians took Christianity from me. When lovers took love away from me. When friends took friendship away from me. I like listening to sad songs because they comfort something in me that humans failed at. Understanding. They make me feel normal.

  12. N.... ....

    haha i just like the acoustic guitar kinda songs whats up with all these edgy kids

  13. D.... A....

    Literally love this band....cried first time I heard this song

  14. -.... ....

    Don't wait until it's too late

  15. x.... ....

    I can really relate to this song at this point in my life.... it's depressing

  16. J.... P....

    Es genial!

  17. K.... M....

    Clinging to the remnants of perfection

    Is on my my arm :-)

  18. M.... J....

    C.... J....

    +Josh's Best Fren I'm actually homeschooled and woke up not to long ago and it's almost 1:40 pm where I am because I sleep late, I'm just not woken up yet. But thank you for caring, it actually means a lot

    C.... J....

    that is actually exactly my situation too lol

    C.... J....

    +Josh's Best Fren wow I'm glad I'm not the only one lol

    C.... J....

    +Josh's Best Fren You two are good people😊

    C.... J....

    +Sebastian Carrillo Thank you! And you are as well my friend!

  20. R.... B....

    I've been done being heartbroken over my ex for a while now—it's been years. But this song brought me to tears.

    In the time after we broke up, after I found out about how much betrayal and manipulation was going on behind my back, I would've done anything just to hear him say this to me, for him to have some kind of empathy. To me, the tone of the song reflects the pure loneliness in experiencing the indifference and callousness of his reaction towards me, after he knew how devastated I was. This song brought me back to that raw heartache.

    And I don't say this as a sob story but as a credit to the song and the songwriter. Really powerful, really hits home. So much complex emotion is reflected in the music and lyrics. Well done.

  21. T.... R....

    the ending had me crying

  22. L.... M....

    I imagine the words being sung by christ.

  23. s.... ....

    I like the interpretations I've read in the comments.  I just wanted to share what I think...
    I think he hurt his significant other emotionally, like cheating or something.  He has repented and has forgiven himself, but she cannot forgive him and is depressed.
    "Ya see, I know that I have done all this to you".  So he as well goes along with her depression, because if he cannot be forgiven by her, then he may as well curl up and die with her.

  24. G.... A....

    This song is so touching... I'm speechless....

  25. I.... ....

    i don't understand this song....

    I.... ....

    there are a bunch of different interpretations, but I like the idea that the speaker got really close to a girl and then realized that he still didn't feel content with the relationship. So he broke up with her, and she didn't feel the same way and it hurt her so badly. He then felt very guilty because she had given up now and so he feels he might as well give up too since he had caused her so much pain.

    I.... ....

    +Rory Giambalvo thanks for sharing your way of seeing it

    I.... ....

    Rory Giambalvo i agree with this interpretation

  26. J.... M....

    Oh wow... I'm speechless... I'm beyond the point of crying now, this song speaks straight from my heart. I couldn't have written it better my self. And the simplicity of the song is so powerful

  27. k.... C....

    I want someone to curl up with me until I die

    k.... C....

    kayla Carwile I will =)

  28. P.... ....

    Feelin lonely here. I guess 10 years of living homeschooled in a rural with no real friends or anyone to talk to gets to you. I just feel so empty anymore.

    P.... ....

    To be fair you just listed things we have to do to be loved so it's not free.

    P.... ....

    God loves us no matter what. 

    P.... ....

    God thru Jesus Christ reached out and loved us first.  1 John 4:19 .... Jesus laid down His life for us ...that is love 1st John 3:16.      It requires no effort accept placing faith and believing and confessing you are a sinner in need of a savior.

    P.... ....

    Actually, God loves us even if we send ourselves to hell by not accepting his way to get back to him. He loves all the people in hell and wished they loved him enough back to have accepted his plan to win us back! <3 So whether you accept his plan or not.....GOD still loves you and everything that is the smallest good in your life is actually from God...Inhale and Exhale right now......................That breathe was given to you by God.....Even you, not loving him now...But make no mistake God loves you that's why he created you...He wanted you here on purpose!There's nothing you could ever do in this entire world that can ever make him love you more or less than he already does. Know this! In Jesus name. Love you ! Grace and Peace

    P.... ....

    PrejudicePotatoe dougthug2.0 I’ll talk to you on instagram

  29. C.... S....

    Thank you universe, for this song.

  30. J.... ....

    I've been listening to this song for years, and it's always interesting to see how the further I get in life, the better I start understanding it.
    The first time I heard it I had no idea what the lyrics where about, but now it all makes perfect sense. Come to think about it, that might be a bad thing rather than a good thing. Either way, this song will always stay with me.

  31. J.... F....

    There was an interpretation I read about this song a few years back that definitely stuck with me. It's not really about suicide.
    The main idea is that it revolves around a guy that is in a relationship but doesn't feel the same way about the girl anymore, and this breaks her heart-
    "I don't like the steps I took to get to look into your deepest feelings"
    And he knows that it's breaking her heart "and I don't mind. But I know the same does not apply to you."
    And so instead of causing that much pain to her, he decides that he'll stay with her and essentially be unhappy to make her feel better.

  32. M.... ....

    I've listened to this song so many times over the years but it wasn't until last week that I realized what they're trying to say. And it makes me bawl. Clearly this is just my interpretation.

    Basically what I hear Mr. Thiessen saying is that in spite of how he feels, his friend is sad, and in spite of everything he is going to be there for them. If you feel like curling up and dying than he'll curl up and BE THERE. It's not about wanting to die.

    Coming from the perspective of someone who suffers serious depression, there are days where there isn't anything anyone could say to make things any better, but the worst thing to be in a situation like that is alone. People trying to talk you out of your sadness doesn't help. It's about being there for someone when there isn't anything you can do for them.

    It's hard to be there for people sometimes, especially when you don't understand what they're feeling, but to have someone say "You're sad? That's okay, I'll be sad with you," is so overwhelming powerful. It isn't someone telling you you're wrong for being sad, it's someone showing you that you're worth something more than empty words; you're worth their time.

    "I don't get this and I know why, you see sometimes things are just beyond control. But I don't mind. But I'm not surprised to find that you do. I'm not surprised to find that you do...I know the same does not apply to you, so I guess that I'll curl up and die too."

    M.... ....

    That's good stuff. Wish I had realized this was the meaning of the song earlier.

    M.... ....

    I always took this as a breakup song in which he hurt his significant other and isn't sure whether to end the relationship but ultimately decided to continue it, thus committing to to stay with her until they die together. I think I like your interpretation more.

    M.... ....

    wow. never took the time to dissect this song and have listened to it 100+ times. awesome

    M.... ....

    This was my first time listening to this song. I knew it was sweet, but reading your interpretation of it makes it more clear and even sweeter. My daughter was just diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and I found this song at just the right point in our lives💝💝 thank you, and I'm so thankful for Matthew too😊

    M.... ....

    MasterSh8k you got it bruh 🥺

  33. N.... R....

    This song makes me want to cry. ;_;

  34. J.... H....

    Okay... How the hell do I tube my guitar to sound like this?! Such an amazing song!

  35. t.... ....

    Hearing all these people committing suicide to this song is not something that I want to hear. Yes this song is beautiful and I can listen to it on replay, but someone should never kill themselves......

  36. J.... S....

    One of my favorites by Relient K.

  37. K.... s....

  94. A.... L....

    this song gives me them gooseybumps guys

  95. T.... V....

    I don't blame him

  96. B.... ....

    This song definitely relates to the current relationship between me and one of my friends. Our relationship has been strained for many months now, and it's been hurting both of us. In addition, so much else has been going wrong for her, and she keeps on suffering. I feel bad, yet I have felt so hurt by her. It just sucks because I wish I could make all her troubles go away and for us to have our relationship back, but at the same time, I can't. I'd rather just curl up and die.

  97. S.... ....

    I bet the 6 people who hit the dislike botton thought it said "Dis I like"

  98. T.... M....

    I <3 this song so much

  99. S.... A....
