Dead Right
Genuflect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is a lucid dream...
Never was a future...
Now hear the angel's scream
You've been dying since the day you were born
Your own fears overcoming everything that you are
You're waiting for tomorrow
Because tomorrow will be "today" tomorrow
And on and on and on
And through the course of history and every pen
You never repent
You say you won't then do it again
You've got your heads cocked back
Staring straight at the end
You know it's all just a figment of your imagination
So many faces, so many names
Call me God, call me Lucifer
So what if I'm dying out?
So what if I'm lost?
So many faces, it's all the same
Call me God, call me Lucifer
So what if I'm dying out?
Follow me
Follow me through the pages
And over the ages
Building cages for the future of man
They prey on hope, fear, and those down and looking for something
You can still smell the death, the stink of blood on their hands
The definition of religion: Segregation with a vision
Armageddon's ammunition
Man, I call em like I see 'em
It's a cold dark planet headed straight for the end
Like it was all just a figment of our imaginations
So many faces, so many names
Call me God, call me Lucifer
So what if I'm dying out?
So what if I'm lost?
So many faces, it's all the same
Call me God, call me Lucifer
So what if I'm dying out?
Follow me
Fall for me
You try to hold me tight through that long dark night
And you try to hold me down-
But now I'm ready to fight
I'm dead right
Never lie down for them
I'm dead right
Don't ever lie down for them
I'm dead right
No, I'll never lie down for them
I'm dead right
Never lie down for them
So many faces, so many names
Call me God, call me Lucifer
So what if I'm dying out?
So what if I'm lost?
So many faces, it's all the same
Call me God, call me Lucifer
So what if I'm dying out?
Follow me
Fall for me
Fall for me
The lyrics of "Dead Right" by Genuflect are quite deep and esoteric. The opening lyrics, "this is a revolution, this is a lucid dream, never was a future, now hear the angel's scream", suggest a sense of disillusionment with the present and a desire for change. The following lines, "you've been dying since the day you were born, your own fears overcoming everything that you are, you're waiting for tomorrow, but tomorrow won't come, because tomorrow will be 'today' tomorrow and on and on and on", seem to speak to a sort of existential crisis where one is stuck in a cycle of fear and frustration, unable to break free.
The next set of lyrics, "so many faces, so many names, call me God, call me Lucifer, so what if I'm dying out? so what if I'm lost?", hint at a broader sense of confusion and lack of direction, as though the singer is searching for their place in the world or grappling with questions of identity. The later reference to "building cages for the future of man" and "the definition of religion: Segregation with a vision, Armageddon's ammunition" suggest a critique of religion and its attendant dogmas.
Overall, the lyrics of "Dead Right" are very metaphorical and open to interpretation. They seem to speak to a sense of frustration with the status quo, as well as a desire to break free and find one's own way. The references to God and Lucifer suggest a spiritual element to the song, and the repeated refrain of "follow me" hints at the singer's desire for followers or disciples.
Line by Line Meaning
This is a revolution...
This is a call to overthrow the existing order and create something new
This is a lucid dream...
This is a clear and vivid vision of a different reality
Never was a future...
There has never been a clear future, everything is uncertain
Now hear the angel's scream
Now experience the terror and fear of the unknown
You've been dying since the day you were born
You have been steadily decaying since birth
Your own fears overcoming everything that you are
Your fears are holding you back, preventing you from becoming your true self
You're waiting for tomorrow
You are hoping for a better future
But tomorrow won't come
The future is uncertain and may not happen as you hope
Because tomorrow will be "today" tomorrow
The future never truly arrives, it becomes the present
And on and on and on
This cycle of hope and disappointment continues perpetually
And through the course of history and every pen
Throughout history and every individual's personal narrative
You never repent
You never regret or feel sorry for your actions
You say you won't then do it again
You make promises but break them time and time again
You've got your heads cocked back
You are looking up in fear and uncertainty
Staring straight at the end
Contemplating the inevitable conclusion
You know it's all just a figment of your imagination
You know that everything is subjective and uncertain
So many faces, so many names
There are so many people and entities to follow and believe in
Call me God, call me Lucifer
Address me as either the divine or wicked
So what if I'm dying out?
So what if I am fading away and losing power?
So many faces, it's all the same
No matter who or what you follow, it is all arbitrary
Follow me
Join me in my own personal pursuit
Follow me through the pages
Join me on a journey through history and literature
And over the ages
Spanning across centuries
Building cages for the future of man
Constructing limitations and barriers for human progress
They prey on hope, fear, and those down and looking for something
Leaders exploit vulnerability and desperation to gain followers
You can still smell the death, the stink of blood on their hands
Their actions have caused immense harm and destruction
The definition of religion: Segregation with a vision
Religion often creates divisions and differences, while aiming for a certain goal
Armageddon's ammunition
Preparation for the end of the world and the weapons used in such scenarios
Man, I call em like I see 'em
I speak my mind and give my honest opinion
It's a cold dark planet headed straight for the end
The world is harsh and doomed to meet its end
Like it was all just a figment of our imaginations
As if the world and our lives were just illusions
You try to hold me tight through that long dark night
Attempting to hold onto something permanent during hard times
And you try to hold me down-
And try to subdue my ambitions and dreams
But now I'm ready to fight
But now I am ready to pursue my goals regardless of resistance
I'm dead right
I will never give up or relent
Never lie down for them
Refusing to submit or surrender to external forces
Follow me
Join me in my pursuit
Fall for me
Succumb to my influence and direction
