Genesis
Ded Chaplin Lyrics

The lyrics of Ded Chaplin's song "Genesis" portrays the emotions of someone who is deeply infatuated with another person and desires to be around them constantly. The person singing the song admits to pretending to be invisible to avoid confrontation and drowns in a pool just so that the other person can save them. The person is willing to do anything to capture the attention and affection of the other person. The lyrics also suggest that though the person has options, they only have eyes for this particular person and find themselves breathless in their presence. The second half of the song pleads with the other person not to reject them, as they only want to play with them.

The lyrics of the song seem to represent the intensity and desperation that often comes with infatuation, especially when there is a sense of unrequited love. The lines "Tropeço na escada pra você me pegar" (I stumble down the stairs for you to catch me) and "Crio mil feitiços pra tentar te conquistar" (I create a thousand spells to try to conquer you) illustrate how the person is willing to put themselves in potentially dangerous or embarrassing situations just to get the attention of this other person. The repetition of "Eu só quero brincar com você" (I just want to play with you) at the end of each section of the song reinforces that this is not necessarily a serious desire for a romantic relationship, but more an urgent desire to spend time with and be acknowledged by this person.
