Acrid Semblance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We move towards extinction
Corroding every day, day by day
Living our sadistic life this day
Genesis, is all I need
Let's start off again
There is no other way for you
Kill what all ever did exist
There is no other way for you
What use this lifeless lump?
What use thy open casket?
As we fight against the will
Of the one that still controls
Genesis, is all I need
Let's start off again
There is no other way for you
Genesis, just die again
Kill what all ever did exist
There is no other way for you
[Solo: Kshitish]
[Solo: Anubhav]
Die! You Now!
You lived, this life too long!
Die just now,
You've seen this treachery through your eyes!
Die, you die
Cause You! Have lived for long
Die! You've seen, this treachery, through your eyes!
End now is still too far
Beginnings are too off shore
My past haunts me still
Do I need the end once more?
Genesis, is all I need
Let's start off again
There is no other way for you
Genesis, just die again
Kill what all ever did exist
There is no other way for you
The lyrics of Acrid Semblance's song 'Genesis' seem to explore the existential crisis of human existence. The opening lines 'On our road we move into existence, we move towards extinction' suggests that life's journey is cyclical and the ultimate end is death. The next line 'Corroding every day, day by day, Living our sadistic life this day' indicates that while alive, we are slowly deteriorating both physically and mentally while indulging in sadistic behavior.
The word Genesis refers to the beginning of something, in this case, starting life anew. The lines 'Genesis, is all I need, Let's start off again, There is no other way for you, Genesis, just die again, Kill what all ever did exist' suggest that the singer is tired of life's monotony and seeks a reset, a new beginning. They believe that the only way to accomplish this is through death and eliminations of everything that ever existed.
The lines that follow 'What use this lifeless lump? What use thy open casket? As we fight against the will, Of the one that still controls' give an insight into how we struggle against the will of fate, to cheat death, but ultimately fail. The song ends with the singer questioning whether they need another end.
