Dead Right
Genuflect Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is a revolution...
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
But tomorrow won't come
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

Overall Meaning

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
