Song Meaning of “The Reckoning” by Spineshank
“The Reckoning” by Spineshank is a powerful, powerful song about facing the day of judgment and realizing that on that day all deeds will be brought to light. The lyrics urge the listener to confront and take responsibility for all of their actions before judgment day finally arrives. The song speaks of the fear and dread of having to look into ones own conscience and heart and truly being aware of all the choices made and how they will impact their fate. It speaks to the consequences of our choices, so that we may learn and grow from them.
The chorus is especially strong in conveying the regret that one may have in looking back and seeing one’s mistakes:
“The reckoning will come, I won’t feel free
Until I make the truth undeniable
So many days of wrong I paid nothing for
Now I stand here all alone so unsure.”
This powerful song soon draws to a close with the repetition of the words “all will be revealed” which leaves the listener with a powerful message of reckoning, honesty, and awareness of one’s choices.
