Genesis
Northlane - Singularity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every single moment time will melt away my life
What choices do I have, how do I know is wrong or right?
How do I speak of what I see through my own eyes?
Without telling you that the truth you've known is all a lie
Stop living the lie, existing just because you can
I can be the dreamer
I can, I am




Overall Meaning

In "Genesis," Northlane uses introspective lyrics that reflect on the nature of human existence and the passage of time. The song’s opening lyrics express a sense of existential anxiety, as the singer grapples with the ephemeral nature of life: “Every single moment time will melt away my life/What choices do I have, how do I know is wrong or right?” This serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of life, and the importance of seizing the present moment.


The following lines urge listeners to look beyond their preconceptions and see the world through their own eyes, rather than accepting "truths" that may be illusions: “How do I speak of what I see through my own eyes?/Without telling you that the truth you've known is all a lie.” The song then shifts to an empowering message of self-realization and determination, with a call to “stop living the lie” and embrace the potential to be a “dreamer.”


Overall, "Genesis" is a thought-provoking and motivational song that encourages listeners to think deeply about their lives, while empowering them to take control of their own narrative.

Time never stops and hence, every moment of my life keeps fading away


What choices do I have, how do I know is wrong or right?
I am uncertain of which choices to make and how to distinguish between good and bad decisions


How do I speak of what I see through my own eyes?
I struggle to articulate my own perspective and experiences effectively


Without telling you that the truth you've known is all a lie
Expressing my viewpoint may contradict what you believe to be true


Stop living the lie, existing just because you can
Don't lead a meaningless life just because you are capable of it


I can be the dreamer
I have the potential to dream and turn those aspirations into reality


I can, I am
There is nothing stopping me from being who I wish to be

I saw them live in Tupelo, Mississippi, and Adrian didn’t know how to say “Tupelo,” and they played for a crowd of maybe 30 people, and it was the best show I’ve ever seen.

I hate it when good songs are this short because you have to listen to them a dozen times before you're satisfied >.<
