Cause And Effect
69 Chambers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remember me it’s been a while but I’m back with answers at last
What goes up comes down
Crashes down to the ground
What goes up come down
Someday turned into now
An end to a means
It’s cause and effect
I’m here to come clean
A means to an end
An end to a means
It’s cause and effect
Gonna make you bleed
C’mon collect the bitter crop you have left for the wind to suck
You can’t expect your harvest to rot in the sun for crows to pluck
A means to an end
An end to a means
It’s cause and effect
I’m here to come clean
A means to an end
An end to a means
It’s cause and effect
Gonna make you bleed
What goes up comes down
Crashes down to the ground
It’s cause and effect
Something that you can’t reject
What goes up comes down
Crashes to the ground
The song "Cause and Effect" by 69 Chambers is an introspective and deep dive into the nature of consequences and accountability. The opening lines of the song, "Remember me I’m a question of time, the one you never asked, Remember me it’s been a while but I’m back with answers at last" are a reference to the inevitability of consequences catching up with an individual regardless of how far back they may have occurred. In this song, the singer is speaking from a position of authority and is here to hold whoever the song is directed towards accountable for their actions.
The main chorus line, "A means to an end, An end to a means, It's cause and effect, Gonna make you bleed" echoes the theme of karma and retribution as the singer warns that the actions of the individual will have a direct consequence. The repeated lines "What goes up comes down crashes down to the ground, It’s cause and effect Something that you can’t reject," offers an explicit explanation of the song's themes. Here, the song offers the message that the consequences of our actions are unavoidable and that it makes little sense to assume the contrary. In general, the song offers a powerful message on the significance of accountability and the importance of accepting one's mistakes and actions.

Not A Chance
I came here for Tommy Vetterli, that's the guitarist from Coroner. He's a technical thrash legend that is being horribly under utilized in this project .
