Lyrics

Big Bang

Before we ever saw straight, we were grasping at straws A debate was born, picket lines were drawn There was this big bang once, now we're learning to use our thumbs

We need a purpose in life, a survival guide We need explanations for how we arrived There was this big bang once, now we're standing on our own two feet There was this big bang once, we've been sharpening up our teeth

They say there was this big bang once, but the clergyman doesn't agree, oh no There was this big bang once, but it don't jive with Adam and Eve Original sin, idyllic garden Some talking snake giving apples away What would that snake say if he could only see us today? Ha ha ha!

There was this big bang once, we were left here to fill in the blanks There was this big bang once, now we're aimlessly drifting in space We're gonna need an explanation for rational thought And what it meant and the weight of our hearts In a world of entropy, why can't we just simply be? And don't feed me lies, intelligent design

There was this big bang once, why are we raptured on our knees? Ha!

Cursive on Dork

Cursive have shared ‘Wounded Animal’ from Tim Kasher’s ‘Who’s Watching’ soundtrack

Cursive’s first new music since 2024’s ‘Devourer’ appears on the soundtrack to frontman Tim Kasher’s psychological thriller.

Cursive - Devourer

'Devourer' is a knotty, visceral listen.

No genre, no problem: Cursive's decades-long musical defiance

For nearly 30 years, Tim Kasher and co. have challenged genre conventions, keeping Cursive's sound fiercely unpredictable.

Cursive: "When I'm wagging the finger at others, I'm also wagging the finger at myself"

Indie-rock stalwarts Cursive are back with their first album in six years. With society falling apart around us, it's a suitably vitriolic reaction to the state of the world.
