Judgment Day
Integrity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought you had it easy 'til they found you
What can I say it's in your face
You were the one who did the crime
You'll be the one to pay
Your backs against the wall
Will you stand or will you fall
Judgement day!
The lyrics to Integrity's song "Judgment Day" are reflective of the consequences of one's actions. The first line 'worlds caving in around you' is metaphorical and suggests that the consequences of one's actions are closing in and there is no escape. The second line 'thought you had it easy 'til they found you' implies that the wrongdoer believed they were invincible and above the law, but they were caught, and now they have to face the consequences of their actions.
The chorus 'What can I say, it's in your face. You were the one who did the crime. You'll be the one to pay. Your backs against the wall. Will you stand or will you fall. Judgment day!' highlights that the consequences of their actions are now visible, and they have to face their fate. They have a choice to either face the consequences of their actions heads, or they can give in and fail. Ultimately, the song's message is clear - everyone, regardless of their status, will have to face the consequences of their actions eventually.

Thought you had it easy 'til they found you
You thought life was going well until your wrongdoing was uncovered
What can I say it's in your face

You were the one who did the crime
You are responsible for the wrongdoing and will face the consequences
You'll be the one to pay
You will suffer the consequences of your actions
Your backs against the wall

Will you stand or will you fall
You must make a decision to either face the consequences with strength or give up
Judgement day!
The day has come when you will be judged for your actions
