Dead Wrong
Integrity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You had it all planned from the start.
Their loss is your gain, you didn't think it over too clearly.
Because you were... Dead wrong.
No avoiding, what must be done.
Fight to win, fight to overcome.
You have no choice, of what you can do.
Enjoy the pain as it seers through you.
Go ahead and run, there's no place you can hide.
We'll hunt you down, so you know exactly how your prey felt thought.
It was just - a simple sport, in my eyes you're just a murderer.
You don't kill for survival, you kill for cruelty. You went from being the hunter to being hunted You are dead
The lyrics of "Dead Wrong" by Integrity are a commentary on the actions of someone who has deceived and manipulated others for personal gain. The beginning of the song expresses disbelief and disappointment at the perpetrator's façade of innocence, which was used to cover up deceit. The lyrics suggest that this person planned their actions from the beginning, exploiting the goodwill of others for their own benefit, and without properly considering the impact of their actions. However, they made a fatal error in judgment, causing them to become the hunted rather than the hunter, and leading them to their ultimate demise.
The second part of the song indicates that there is no escape from the consequences of their actions; the attacker will face the same pain and terror as their victim. The lyrics describe them as merely a murderer because they didn't kill for survival but for cruelty. The singer takes pleasure in the hunt, and there will be no new opportunities or chances to avoid punishment. They will be hunted down and forced to face their actions, culminating in their death. The lyrics also suggest that the hunter has taken a perverse pleasure in their actions and that justice will be served by making them experience the same pain and suffering they inflicted.
