Obsolete
Eye Of Judgement Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gazing over
Endless plains of cracked earth
Swarms of nothing
creep across the land
The shadow of the end
Slowly moving closer

No sense in feigning
Innocence
Before the fall
All are corrupted from birth

The path behind us has crumbled
The road ahead is empty
We are already halfway there

We are already halfway there

Eyes fixed upon our feet
We march on and on
Never gazing to the future -
For there is none
There is none

A world that has no need for us
Is better off without us
A world that has no need for us
Is better off without us




We will not weep
We will not say goodbye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eye Of Judgement's "Obsolete" paint a desolate picture of a world that is beyond salvation. The opening lines reveal a landscape plagued by drought and barrenness with nothing but swarming nothingness creeping across the land. The shadow of the end looms nearer, and the singer acknowledges that no one is innocent in this world anymore. Everyone is corrupted from birth, and there is no sense in feigning innocence before the fall.


The following lines paint an even bleaker picture, as the path behind the people has crumbled and their road ahead is empty. They are already halfway to their ultimate ruination. The people march on with their eyes fixed upon their feet, never looking towards the future, for there is none. The chorus pulls no punches, as the singer declares that a world that has no need for humans is better off without them. They won't weep or say goodbye, implying that they have accepted their fate with a sense of apathy.


Overall, "Obsolete" presents a bleak world without redemption or hope. The lyrics acknowledge that humanity has brought themselves to this point of no return, with a world that has no use for them anymore.
