A Reckoning
A Reckoning: Unveiling the Price of Deception in Life's Twists
Lyrics
There's an order of things in the way the world spins
Highlighting the natural order of things in the world's rotation.
What's up comes down it all goes 'round and comes back again
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of life, where what goes up must come down.
Don't you know the seeds you sow, you're gonna reap some day
Stressing the consequences of one's actions, comparing them to seeds that will eventually yield results.
There'll be hell to pay
Suggesting that facing consequences for one's actions is inevitable and may be harsh.
So go on and do what you're gonna do
Encouraging someone to proceed with their chosen actions.
Don't change your wicked ways
Advising against changing one's behavior, possibly indicating a sense of inevitability.
Mark my words, the tide's gonna turn
Predicting a shift in circumstances or fate.
And one of these days
Anticipating a future day when consequences will catch up.
There will be there will be
Repetition for emphasis on the impending event or consequence.
A reckoning
Introducing the central theme of the song: a reckoning, likely referring to facing the consequences of one's actions.
You took my heart and soul like they were yours to take
Describing a personal betrayal, where the speaker's heart and soul were taken by someone.
Then you left me there barely breathin' air you just tossed me away
Expressing the aftermath of the betrayal, feeling abandoned and struggling for breath.
You can run but you can't hide from all of your sins
Warning that attempting to escape or hide from one's sins will be futile.
They'll find you out my friend
Asserting that the truth will eventually come to light.
So go on and do what you're gonna do
Reiterating the advice to continue with chosen actions, possibly acknowledging a sense of inevitability.
Don't change your wicked ways
Discouraging a change in behavior, emphasizing the persistence of one's character.
Mark my words, the tide's gonna turn
Reaffirming the anticipation of a turning point in fate or circumstances.
And one of these days
Repeating the idea of an eventual reckoning, reinforcing its inevitability.
There will be there will be
Reemphasizing the anticipation of consequences through repetition.
A reckoning
Restating the central theme of the song: a reckoning is inevitable.
Yeah, I guess I'm tougher than you thought I'd be
Addressing the resilience and strength of the speaker, suggesting they are stronger than perceived.
I've learned to be
Acknowledging personal growth and toughness over time.
Strong, more than just a mere survivor
Expressing resilience beyond mere survival, indicating a fighting spirit.
Turns out I'm a fighter
Discovering an inner strength and identity as a fighter.
And someday soon you'll see
Anticipating that others will eventually recognize the speaker's strength.
So go on and do what you're gonna do
Encouraging the continuation of chosen actions, maintaining a sense of determination.
Don't change your wicked ways
Reiterating the advice to avoid changing one's ways despite impending consequences.
Mark my words, the tide's gonna turn
Confirming the expectation of a turning tide or change in fate.
And one of these days
Repeating the idea that a reckoning is on the horizon.
There will be there will be
Reiterating the anticipation of consequences through repetition.
Yeah and someday soon you'll see
Adding a sense of inevitability to the acknowledgment that others will soon recognize the speaker's strength.
There will be there will be
Repeating the theme of an inevitable reckoning.
A reckoning
Concluding the song with a final statement on the unavoidable nature of facing consequences.
