Seasons
Oppressor Lyrics

The song "Seasons" by Oppressor embodies the human struggle with mortality and the loss of beauty in life. The lyrics present a grim reality of sickness, sorrow, and sadness that emerge in different seasons of life. The Chorus, "Eve of Mourn / Sickness forms...seasons / Beauty gone / Sadness spawns...seasons" defines the overarching theme of the song. The seasons represent the various stages in life, and how they bring about pain and sorrow.

As the song progresses, we see a constant cycle of rebirth and death, confusion and enlightenment. The lines, "Sorrow, in and out of the point of pain / Reborn, by the way of thoughts gained" suggest that with every phase of difficulty, there is an opportunity to learn and grow. However, the idea of helplessness is recurrent in the lyrics as well. "Helpless, searching for the answer to death / Dying, waiting for the last breath" shows the inevitability of death and how one can only wait for it to take its course. The "Deformed, deformed lives" indicate the physical struggle that comes with sickness, which only exacerbates the emotional pain.

The song presents an existential crisis with verses such as "Unspoken words of a worthless cause / Lust is disguised" and "Decieved by the belief in hope / Bow down before the fate of all." This notion is further intensified with the words, "Forgotten ones scream in pain / Lost in demise / Whispers carry through the winds / To hide their shattered lives." Here, the lyrics suggest that pain and disillusionment are ubiquitous, and it is possible to find comfort only in hiding one's suffering.

Finally, the lyrics end with "Wither and die" and "Sea of bliss / Wave of conscious all drowning / How could I be so blind?" These closing lines reinforce the idea of the brevity of life and the inevitability of death. It highlights that life is precious and fleeting, and it is essential to make the most of every moment.
