Judgment Day
R.j. Mischo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I spoke to someone near me, I said "What's this all mean?"
He said "Say goodbye to all your family, say goodbye to your friends
"Say goodbye to your lover - this is where it ends
"Don't you know, don't you know,
"This is Judgment Day?"
And every face I looked at was as worried as could be
You could see what they were thinking - "It's not real and I'm not here"
But a frightening voice from somewhere just kept screaming in their ear
Well I heard the preacher tell me, but I didn't want to know
I thought that I had so much time - now, where did it all go?
See, Judgment Day starts here and now for those who turn away
For judgment falls on all who sin - that's what the scriptures say
The lyrics to R.j. Mischo’s song Judgment Day describe a vivid account of a prophetic vision he experiences. The vision portrays a scene where the end of the world has arrived, and the judgment day has arrived. He is spoken to by someone near him, who advises him to say goodbye to everyone he knows because this is where everything comes to an end. The urgency and fear in the wordings express how disastrous the judgment day is.
The next verse describes a crowd of people - everyone is worried questioning its existence. It is a moment of realization that the prophetic vision is coming true. People start to worry and confront the fact that everything is not as they thought. The voice from somewhere indicates that the judgment day has come, and everyone is required to pay for their sins.
The entire song describes a highly emotive event, which details that everything is coming to an end. The discussion covers the utter despair and hopelessness in the image portrayed. The Judgment Day is a highly regarded event in religions around the world, and R.J. Mischo’s song brings the gravity of the situation to life.
