Your Memorial Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The image is more important than, it's more important than the being
The truth is this message is a dissimulated depiction of what is reality
They have become a wounder, a wounder of the healers
Rather than a healer of the many wounded
Come one come all this is the truth not what they say
We all have sinned and fallen short
But if we let that hold us back we would be nothing at all
Personal responsibility has replaced personal response
This is the final straw
You are dead to me
Your actions prove nothing
You are dead to us
There is a season for everything
What will you take from this what will you make of this
There is a season for everything
What will you take from this what will you make
of this
In "Seasons" by Your Memorial, the lyrics speak on the idea that there is a truth, but it is often hidden behind an image that is deemed more important than the reality. The lines, "The image is more important than, it's more important than the being, The truth is this message is a dissimulated depiction of what is reality" convey the message that people often prioritize appearance over honesty. However, the lyrics challenge this notion and question why people have become "a wounder, a wounder of the healers, rather than a healer of the many wounded" indicating that the emphasis on image above all can cause harm instead of healing. Furthermore, the song emphasizes the importance of grace and personal responsibility - that personal growth begins with admitting mistakes and owning how one responds to them, rather than blaming others or external circumstances: "Without grace how can any of us make any progress, We all have sinned and fallen short, But if we let that hold us back we would be nothing at all, Personal responsibility has replaced personal response". The song ends with the reminder that there is a time for everything - for growth and for change, but it is up to the individual to decide what they will take from the situation and what they will make of it.
