Oakman have released a video for their new single Curse, taken from their forthcoming album Violent Oblivion.
“A year ago, we wrote the song Murder, which described the point of view of a victim suddenly imagining herself, in her fantasy, becoming the murderer of her abuser,” the band explains. “But what about the trauma years later? That’s what ‘Curse’ is about. The song delves into an inner struggle against past trauma or toxic relationships. The lyrics evoke the desire to free oneself from memories and feelings associated with a painful experience, which persist despite everything. The repetition of the refrain ‘But I won’t surrender’ expresses the refusal to give in to the power these thoughts and memories have over the person, affirming that she refuses to be dominated by them and fights for her own healing and emotional freedom.”
