The lyrics to "Genesis" by Grimes - Topic are quite repetitive, but they convey a sense of detachment and disconnection from emotions. The repetition of "My heart, I never feel, I never see, I never know" suggests a numbness or lack of emotional sensitivity. The phrase "And then it falls, and then I fall, and then I know" implies that there are moments when emotions do surface, causing a sudden realization or understanding. It's almost as if the singer is surprised by their own emotions, as if they rarely experience them.
The second part of the song introduces a new theme of being at home and the concept of love. The lines "Home and I know, playing the deck above, it's always different" suggest that the singer feels a sense of familiarity or comfort at home, but there is always something that sets them apart or makes them feel different. The repetition of the phrase "I am the one in love" may indicate that the singer is in love with the idea of love itself, rather than being in a specific romantic relationship.
Overall, "Genesis" explores themes of emotional detachment, sporadic moments of emotional awakening, and the longing for love and connection.
Line by Line Meaning
My heart, I never feel
I lack the ability to experience emotions and love
I never see
I am blind to the signs and wonders of love
I never know
I am ignorant of the depths and intricacies of love
Oh, heart
Dear heart
And then it falls
And then it gets overwhelmed and breaks
And then I fall
And then I succumb to the power of love
And then I know
And then I finally understand the true nature of love
Ever see, ever be, ever know my heart
I desire for someone to truly see, experience, and understand my heart
Home and I know
In my comfort zone, I am aware
Playing the deck above
Engaging in a different, more elevated level of existence
It's always different
This experience is always unique and varied
I am the one in love
I am the person who is deeply, passionately in love

"Oh, heart
And then it falls
And then I fall
And then I know
My heart will never feel
Will never see
Will never know"
According to my understanding, the song starts out slowly, showing that the speaker is still alive but her mental condition is clouded. After the beat drop though, when the music becomes really energetic, the song merely brings back memories that are crystal clear, as the lyrics suggest.
"Oh, heart
And then it falls
And then I fall
And then I know"
I find the lyrics and the music behind them to be quite motivating. It's gotten to the point where I want to base a little comic around that passage.
