Genesis
Ofln - Deftones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've seen right through, now I watch how wild it gets
I finally achieve
Balance, balance, balance, balance
Approaching a delayed
Rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth
Yet here I go, I watch how wild we get
Oh, can you taste your life?
Balanced, balanced, balanced, balanced
How will you spend your time?
Reborn, reborn, reborn, reborn
Climbing out of the ashes
Turning time inside out
We're miles beyond the sound
We'll start again
Taste a lifestyle that never gets old
Yet here we go
Just watch how wild it gets
I finally achieve
Balance, balance, balance, balance
Approaching a delayed
Rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth
Climbing out of the ashes
We're turning time inside out
We're floating off in the ether
We're miles beyond the sound
We're everywhere
No need to return
I'll show the way
We're everywhere
No need to return
I can show you where
No need to return
I can show you
Climbing out of the ashes
We're turning time inside out
Floating off in the ether
We're miles beyond the sound
Oh, can you taste your life?
Balanced, balanced, balanced
How will you spend your time?

The lyrics to "Genesis" by Deftones explore themes of self-discovery, rejecting societal norms, and finding balance and rebirth. The singer expresses their refusal to conform to the expectations and beliefs imposed on them by others ("I reject both sides of what I'm being told"). They have gained clarity and insight, seeing through the falsehoods and hypocrisy surrounding them ("I've seen right through, now I watch how wild it gets").
The song emphasizes the importance of achieving balance in one's life, both internally and externally ("I finally achieve balance"). This balance is represented as a state of being that allows for personal growth and a renewed sense of purpose ("Approaching a delayed rebirth"). The repetition of the word "balance" and "rebirth" emphasizes the significance of these concepts to the singer's journey.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of living authentically and purposefully, without succumbing to the pressures of conformity ("I'm positive there's no sense to what I'm being sold"). Despite the uncertainty and chaos that may arise from embracing this mindset, the singer urges the listener to fully embrace their own life experiences and make the most of their time ("Oh, can you taste your life? How will you spend your time?").
Overall, "Genesis" encourages a sense of individuality, freedom, and self-empowerment, acknowledging that true fulfillment and growth can only be achieved by rejecting societal norms and finding balance within oneself.
