JUDGEMENT DAY
Lee Aaron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some believe you live your life to find your, place there
Young girl...barely turned thirteen
Hustlin' on the streets, she never learned a prayer
Never learned to trust no one
'Til she met the man
He filled her up with false hope
She'll be one of many
Forgotten souls somewhere
Dead by seventeen
And who will care
(Where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day...
(Where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day...
Hatred...is a learned disease
Some people raise up children to feel that way
Young boy...barely turned nineteen
Shipped off overseas, with a gun and green beret
Atrocities he's known
A big hero back home
The hypocrisy that we condone
Oh (where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day...
Aw (where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day...
Aw (where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day...
Heaven...some say it's just a word
Hatred...is a learned disease
Oh (where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day...
Oh (where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day...
Now (where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day...
Oh (where we gonna be on Judgement Day)
Where we gonna be on Judgement Day...
Where will we...be...on Judgement Day...
(Where will we be on Judgement Day...)
She never learned a prayer
Never learned t' trust no one
Some say Heaven...some say hatred...some don't know...
(Where will we be on Judgement Day)
(Where will we be on Judgement Day)
(Where will we be on Judgement Day)
In Lee Aaron's song Judgement Day, the lyrics explore the theme of accountability and reckoning. The opening verse refers to the concept of Heaven, which some people believe is just a myth, while others strive their entire lives to find a place there. The next verse tells the story of a young girl who is forced to hustle on the streets and never learned to pray. She falls into the hands of a manipulative man who lures her into drug use, and ultimately dies at a young age, forgotten and uncared for. The chorus asks, "Where will we be on Judgement Day?" - a question that forces us to consider the choices we make in life and the repercussions they may have.
The second verse describes a young boy who is raised to hate and sent off to war. He witnesses and perpetrates atrocities, but is hailed as a hero upon his return. The lyrics illuminate the juxtaposition between the values we uphold at home while participating in senseless aggression abroad. The refrain of "where we gonna be on Judgement Day" drives home the message of accountability and consequences for actions, posing the question of whether we will be judged for our actions and who will care.
Overall, the song Judgement Day is a commentary on societal failures and the consequences of those failures at the individual level. The lyrics provoke introspection and urge us to consider what legacy we want to leave behind.
