Song Meaning of “Mortal Lesson” by Prey of Chaos
Mortal Lesson speaks of the fragility of life, and the preciousness of moments. It speaks to the realization that living each moment fully is a necessary part of being human.
The line “We’re living in a finite time” speaks to how we must make the most of our lives and acknowledge that our time is limited. We are in a country of death, and yet we must take advantage of life’s opportunities.
The chorus encourages us to “[r]emember all the lessons you learn when you see them all for real”. This reminds us that the things that we learn in life are valuable and to always take something away from our experiences.
The song reminds us of the importance of living life to the fullest, and how it can sometimes be too late once we realize how precious life is.
The somber melody and the haunting chorus leave us with the idea that life is a gift, and that we must not take our lives for granted.
