Genesis
Luna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somewhere along the railway a body divided in two
Somewhere between the screams, those visions were never seen

I understood the voice
An ancient sacrifice
Buried in wreck
To rise up in a gaze
In marches the bitter man. Fire away again and again
Hang dry curtains are down. Sink down in dumping grounds





Sirens scream in your head when the march lingers on
Hear the echoes of the ceremonial doom

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Luna's song "Genesis" are poetic and rich with meaning. The song seems to be about the cyclical nature of life and death, sacrifice, and the inevitability of change. The opening lines, "Somewhere along the railway a body divided in two / Somewhere between the screams, those visions were never seen," suggest a violent and abrupt end to something. However, the next lines, "I understood the voice / An ancient sacrifice / Buried in wreck / To rise up in a gaze," introduce a ray of hope. The "voice" could represent wisdom or knowledge gained through experience. The idea of an "ancient sacrifice" suggests that something had to be given up in order for progress to occur. The sacrifice has been "buried in wreck," but it can still be accessed and used to move forward.


The next verse, "In marches the bitter man. Fire away again and again / Hang dry curtains are down. Sink down in dumping grounds," seems to be about the difficulties of life. The "bitter man" could represent any sort of obstacle or challenge, and the lyrics suggest that this obstacle keeps coming back ("fire away again and again"). The "hang dry curtains" and "dumping grounds" create an image of neglect and abandonment. However, the chorus, "Sirens scream in your head when the march lingers on / Hear the echoes of the ceremonial doom," introduces a note of warning. The "sirens" suggest danger, and the "ceremonial doom" implies that certain actions might have inevitable consequences.


Overall, "Genesis" is a powerful song that encourages the listener to reflect on the nature of life and change. The lyrics suggest that progress requires sacrifice and that obstacles will inevitably arise. However, even in the face of these challenges, there is hope and the possibility of renewal.
