Felony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Being accused of a crime I'm not guilty can't they see
They reproach me with a murder offence My memories aren't so clear
I can't remember last dark night And I don't know how I got here
Innocent in a prison cell - Life is like a living hell
When the hammer of the judge - Finally falls on you
The judge face looks so grim I've got no chance at all
Nobody there to help me now No one hears my desperate call
The jury passed the verdict Twenty years of my life
I can't believe what I hear All that remains for me is to pray
With rage and vengeance inside I go Just one thing on my mind
If I will ever get out of here The betrayer will pay for his lies
In Felony's song Justice, the lyrics describe the emotional and mental state of a person who has been falsely accused of a crime and is standing trial. The use of the word nightmare indicates the enormity of suffering and turmoil that the person is going through as they face the justice system. Although they assert that they are not guilty, it appears that the memories of the night in question are hazy and they do not know how they ended up on trial. The person is innocent but is incarcerated, and they feel that life has become a living hell.
The chorus of the song highlights the notion that the justice system is flawed and sometimes innocent people are falsely accused and imprisoned. The lines "Justice where've you gone - There's nothing you can do When the hammer of the judge - Finally falls on you" express a sense of disillusionment and helplessness of the person towards the justice system.
The betrayal suffered by the person is evident in the line "If I will ever get out of here The betrayer will pay for his lies." Overall, the lyrics of the song Justice convey a powerful message, capturing the challenges faced by people who are falsely accused and the flaws in the justice system.
