Original Sin
Emphatic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You buried your story under my skin
I know where we stand
Walked in your footsteps and followed the damned
Is there hope for me?
'Cause fools don't change
And stones don't bleed
Born with your dirt on my hands
Born with a line in the sand
Born into a world I don't understand
Down, down, down, here we go again
Round and round, will it ever end?
Hey father, what a mess I'm in
Heir to the throne of your original sin, original sin
I tried to pretend, I don't know the devil
And all of his friends
But I can't take it back, I know the truth
Is tied to the past
Is there hope for me?
'Cause fools don't change
And stones don't bleed
Born with your dirt on my hands
Born with a line in the sand
Born into a world I don't understand
Down, down, down, here we go again
Round and round, will it ever end?
Hey father what a mess I'm in
Heir to the throne of your original sin, original sin
Break the cycle now
I don't want your life
Born with your dirt on my hands
Born with a line in the sand
Born into a world I don't understand
Down, down, down, here we go again
Round and round, will it ever end?
Hey father what a mess I'm in
Heir to the throne of your original sin, original sin
The song "Original Sin" by Emphatic touches on the theme of the scars we inherit from our parents and ancestors. The first verse describes the emotional burden that the singer carries because of their forebears. They know where their family has been and feel like they are carrying that history with them, embodied by the dirt on their hands. The second verse centers on the idea of redemption and whether or not the singer can escape the cycle of their past. They long for change but acknowledge that it's difficult, as "fools don't change and stones don't bleed".
The chorus repeats the central ideas of the song: feeling trapped in a cycle of heredity that they don't fully comprehend. They long to "break the cycle" and "don't want [their] life" to be defined by their past, but they still recognize that they are the "heir to the throne of [their] original sin".
The song showcases the impact that our parents and families have on the path of our lives, for better or for worse. It also highlights the desire for personal agency and to step outside of what can feel like a predestined narrative.
