 Much like the previous Killswitch Engage singles, "Rose of Sharyn" and "The End of Heartache" from "The End of Heartache" album, "My Curse" pertains to the theme of dwelling on a dead 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 metaphoric death ("To see you again/Dying, inside, these walls/ Dying, inside, these walls"), and the books the man flips through throughout the video represent his memories of her.
