The Size Of Sin
Beautiful Eulogy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The size of sin is as small as a grain of sand
But separates between wide ocean and dry land
It's bigger than bad habits
It's a matter of man seeking for Gods spot following in the same pattern as Adam
It's deep rooted, were the seed of our broken family tree
Branching out limbs of disease, look at this mess we leave
This weight of wickedness is heavy as lead
Trying to catch its descent's like stopping a falling rock in a spiders web
It's thin silk thread begins to snap
And all that's left is the residue that sticks between the cracks
It all ends with a slip, into a bottomless pit
Grips the heart in a mans chest, til swallowing death
Sipping from the glass of Gods wrath and genuine justice
A just judge must summons for infinite punishment
And when he applying were undeniably liable
The smallest white lie is enough to be indictable
The size of sin so big it causes a cosmic fraction
And hell is the only relevant response to righteous reaction
This is what our sinful actions actually earned us
But God took upon himself the weight of sin reserved for us
A weight so significant
That only the blood of an innocent one is acceptable and worthy




So rather than make light of it, or minimize the size of it
We should marvel at the magnitude of mercy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "The Size Of Sin" by Beautiful Eulogy present a deep reflection on the magnitude of sin and its consequences. The song suggests that sin may seem small, like a grain of sand, but its effects are far-reaching, and it separates humans from God like the distance between the wide ocean and dry land. The songwriters insist that sin is deeper than people's bad habits, and it is a manifestation of a man seeking to take God's place, just like Adam did in the Garden of Eden. They compare sin to a broken family tree that spreads out its limbs of disease and leaves a mess in its wake.


The songwriters continue to describe the weight of wickedness as heavy as lead and its descent as unstoppable, much like a falling rock in a spider's web. The lyrics mention that sin leads to a bottomless pit that grips the heart in a man's chest until swallowing him up in death. According to the songwriters, the smallest white lie is enough to make people liable for infinite punishment, and only a just judge can apply genuine justice to sin. Therefore, the only relevant response to righteous reaction is hell.


Despite the weight of sin, the songwriters praise God for taking upon Himself the weight of sin that humanity reserved for themselves. The song suggests that God's mercy is so significant that it deserves our deepest marveling. The lyrics explain that the magnitude of God's mercy is shown in giving up the life of an innocent for our redemption.
