Cover art for Atonement lyrics by Opeth

" Suddenly, I can't justify What I had become" just doesn't fit in. It says I CANT justify what I had become. Which to me seems like a bad thing... right?

"what i had become" is a reference to Ghost Reveries, The Baying of the Hounds and Beneath the Mire. The death or killing of his Mother and his path towards Satan (or the general evil side of life)
