Season Decided Fate
Integrity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics in Integrity's song Season Decided Fate depict a sense of impending doom and urgency as time continues to pass by. The singer describes a "shadowed glance" that has appeared for years and time growing shorter every day. The seasons seem to have worsened and the singer has had to wait for some sort of decision to be made. It seems as though the time has come to "seal our fate." The singer describes the act of "stalking and hunting" and the "calcinized center of the most darkened soul." Despite this darkness, the singer has always had a "blind realization" of their surroundings and has seen things out of the corner of their eye but never made contact.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a dark and ominous atmosphere. The sense of urgency and impending doom builds as the lyrics progress. The darkness seems to be closing in on the singer, and they are unable to make sense of what's happening around them.
