Mawpit start their journey with their heart wrenching first single ‘Nature’s Curse’, a political anthem with unforgettable lyrics and hard hitting melodies. Opening with the thunderous chorus riff, the song gives you a taste of its raw power before feeding you with the lullaby vocal of the verse. ‘Nature’s Curse’ is a lament about the fires in Australia in 2019 and the rising concern of global warming. Written from the perspective of Mother Nature, the song is a ballad for her humans. She sings of her disappointment in them as they ruin her land by burning her trees and slaughtering her animals. With the climactic lyrics ‘Your greed will be the death of you, and you’ll be the death of me’ it’s difficult to ignore the message of ‘Nature’s Curse’ and the melancholy that looms over you long after its end.

lyrics

Is there another place you can buy?
Another home you can choose to destroy?
I can’t control you anymore my child.
I used to love you now I fear for my life.

Why do you burn me down? Burn me down.
Why do you burn me down? You burn me down.
Why do you slay all of my children, feast on my friends?
Why do you burn me down? Burn me down

When you open your eyes what do you see?
Do you recall the colours I used to be?
You’ve outgrown me, my power is no threat.
One day you’ll wake up and find my soul is dead,

Because you burn me down, burn me down.
Why do you burn me down? You burn me down.
Why do you slay all of my children, feast on my friends?
Why do you burn me down? Burn me down

I gave too much, now you’re spineless and bitter.
Still you want more than I can give you.
So make your bed, you’re overdue.
Your greed will be the death of you,
And you’ll be the death of me.

Burn me down, burn me down.
Why do you burn me down? You burn me down.
Why do you slay all of my children, feast on my friends?
Why do you burn me down? Burn me down.
