Overall Meaning

The song "Weight" by Isis is one of the most intriguing and multi-layered pieces of music that has been produced in the post-metal genre. At first glance, the lyrics seem simple and straightforward, but upon delving deeper into their meaning, it becomes evident that they are highly symbolic and metaphorical. The opening lines of the song, "all in all in, all in a day... a day it changes everything," set the tone for the rest of the lyrics, which explore themes of transformation, loss, and the impermanence of life. The repetition of the phrase "all in all in" emphasizes the idea of everything being interconnected and part of a larger whole.


The phrase "a day it changes everything" suggests that life can be unpredictable and that significant events can occur unexpectedly, causing a profound shift in one's perspective. The lyrics go on to describe the weight of these changes, both physical and emotional, and how they can be difficult to bear. The phrase "the weight, the weight, the weight of it all" is repeated throughout the song, highlighting the idea of burden and the toll that life's challenges can take on a person.
