Magnitude 9 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A different page in our world with only clues to the answers
We're left to decide as it all begins to unfold
The secrets will unfold and continue to follow you
He questioned the heavens as he wrote about the fate
He riddled the writings about the path that we take
It was written long before
Giving signs through the ages, lead us to places, countries divided by wars
A mass production of great destruction and all will suffer a toll
Do we close our eyes?
Of new beginnings that come to an end
Of foreign lands that fought to defend
Cannot deny what has been said, just don't understand what has been read
Are there reasons for it all, it was written log before
Will we hear the call, the writings on the wall
Try to believe, don't be deceived by what will be revealed
It was written long before
Could we believe a man could see the course of things to come
Will you accept what hasn't happened yet or if nothing can be done
Do you want to be told what the future has to hold
He prophecied when worlds collide changing the way that we see
The nights alone, the spirit shown, disguising themselves as his dreams
Never wanted to see, oh never wanted to see
The lyrics of Magnitude 9's song "Writings" seem to be referring to the concept of the inevitability of fate and how it will unfold regardless of whether we understand it or not. The lyrics mention that time and places are being predicted and presenting changes, and that we are given only clues to the answers. The singer questions the heavens and writes about fate, providing riddles about the path that we take. The guitar-driven instrumentation adds an air of mystery to the song, adding to the prophetic quality of the lyrics.
The lyrics go on to say that signs have been given through the ages, warning of countries divided by wars and great destruction that will occur. The song then asks whether we will close our eyes to these events, or whether we will understand what has been said. The chorus repeats the importance of believing and not being deceived by what will be revealed, as it was all written long before. The song ends with an admission that the singer never wanted to see these events unfold.
Overall, "Writings" is a song about fate and how it affects us all. The lyrics suggest that it is inevitable and that signs have been given to warn us, but it is up to us whether to heed them or not.

Unable to reject what was voiced, but not conscious of what was comprehended

Is there rationale behind it all, scripted in the past

Will we heed the message that's been inscribed
Could we believe a man could see the course of things to come
Can we accept that someone can foresee the future
Will you accept what hasn't happened yet or if nothing can be done
Will you acknowledge what's yet to occur, or if there's no solution
Do you want to be told what the future has to hold
Do you aspire to know what the future entails
He prophecied when worlds collide changing the way that we see
He prophesied the collision of the worlds that'll transform our perception
The nights alone, the spirit shown, disguising themselves as his dreams
The solitary nights where his essence was hinted, cloaked as his dreams
Never wanted to see, oh never wanted to see
Never desired to bear witness, never wished to behold

Thanks for putting that online, I just remembered the song for some reason and I hadn't heard it in a good 15 years!
