Expiry Date
Abel Chungu Musuka feat. Pompi & Tasha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Small or great
Surely has an expiry date
How can one now
Escape this fate
By accepting Jesus before its late
How come we can't break bread together
You thinking they can live forever
Grandkids sleeping on the mansions we sold for gold
But it's not the price
Fame is what I seek until I see my demise
The lyrics of Abel Chungu Musuka's song Expiry Date featuring Pompi and Tasha talks about a universal truth, that every man and woman, regardless of their status or importance, has an expiry date. The inevitability of death is a subject that humans have pondered for centuries, and it is one of the central themes of the song. The song urges people to accept Jesus before it's too late, indicating that the only way to escape the fate of death is to find salvation through Christ.
The lyrics also talk about how people prioritize different things in life, such as seeking fame or accumulating wealth, and how these pursuits can be ultimately meaningless when faced with the reality of death. The line "Grandkids sleeping on the mansions we sold for gold" is a reminder that nothing we acquire in life will matter in the end. The song encourages listeners to rethink their priorities and remind us that life is short, and the only thing that truly matters is our relationship with God.
Overall, the song is a poignant reminder that life is fleeting and important to recognize the significance of our choices before it's too late.

Love this track. Speaks to my soul everytine I listen to it.
‘I’m running towards forever
Where we will be together
And all the fears I have about my life will fade away
I’m running towards forever
Where everything is better
My sins won’t be remembered
But a crown for me awaits
