Genesis
Rie a.k.a. Suzaku Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah see I believe in the blood of Jesus
I'm trying to reach us beyond the walls of what people teach us
We in the bleachers
Nose bleeding but you can't see us
We calling out to the front row and they call us leeches
Let me be the footprint in the sand when you walk on beaches
Fruits of our labor Eve want the Apple I'm into peaches
I'm not a preacher but I'll break the word down into pieces
Like I got to be on guard then I get to rest in Eden
They say the rest is heathens
Sorry that's what they feeding
You can't be yourself in this world if it's against they teachings
I can be the smartest in the room and they say I'm geeking
The truth is what I'm seeking
Until then I'm not sleeping
My alarm doing harm cause it'll wake the demons
Some aim to be a deacon I aim to be a beacon
Of hope to those whose heart is closed wall is up and froze
Castle black I will spit fire until starts to weaken
They looking at me crazy cause I'm never peaking
Still looking for a way in like my name was Keenan
I never fall cause I'm winner baby this my season
Christopher Williams said it best don't wake me cause I'm dreaming
Woah
See we are not the same bro
I am not able to kill a man that's what Cain for
So what you sayin tho
Lion on my name tho
Got you seeing double you and Noah in the same boat
I'm just a vessel ain't nothing about me special
Change those who let you keep going and never settle
Always aim to be better better yet refute the devil
Once you complete all your goals you'll reach another level
I'm always busy I told her that I don't need a schedule
If you need me you can find me in bethel intellectual
Always learning always working towards a life of self empowerment
Hours spent to make sure my life don't end in peril
I'm not here to save you
I'm not forcing you to cleanse I'm not here to bath you
Life is a marathon I'm just here to pace you




I'm just here to make sure you enjoy the life that he gave you
Woah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rie a.k.a. Suzaku's song "Genesis" delve into themes of spirituality, personal growth, and perseverance in the face of societal constraints and expectations. The opening lines express a strong belief in the spiritual power of Jesus' blood and a desire to transcend conventional teachings and limitations. The references to being in the bleachers with a nosebleed symbolize feeling overlooked or marginalized, yet still persisting in calling out to those in power.


The imagery of being a footprint in the sand and choosing peaches over apples suggests a departure from mainstream narratives and a preference for authenticity and individuality. The lyrics convey a sense of defiance against societal norms and restrictions, with a willingness to challenge conventional wisdom and break down traditional beliefs into more digestible pieces. The mention of rest being reserved for heathens implies a rejection of oppressive ideologies that dictate how one should live or think.


The artist reflects on the struggle to stay true to oneself in a world that may reject or misunderstand one's beliefs and aspirations. The metaphor of being a beacon of hope for those facing internal struggles or barriers conveys a sense of responsibility and purpose in inspiring others to break free from their limitations. The mention of continuously seeking truth and avoiding complacency suggests a commitment to personal growth and spiritual enlightenment.


The closing lines emphasize the importance of self-discovery, resilience, and living life with purpose and fulfillment. The artist acknowledges their role as a guide or supporter rather than a savior, encouraging listeners to find their own path and embrace the unique journey towards self-empowerment. The overarching message of the lyrics is one of perseverance, self-awareness, and the pursuit of a life that aligns with one's true beliefs and values.

This is one of my favorite tracks ever. Anyone who is a fan of instrumental Prog Rock will also like the "Noah's Ark" 4-track suite on this album. Although usually labelled in Japan as "metal" these tracks put Rie firmly into the quality Progressive Rock arena.

@ginkarasu

Still Incredible even after a ton of replays and around 2:26 I just totally love the Petrucci vibe.

@themobseat

Amazing display of talent!

@barrywallace4985

Incredible song just awesome.

@kuruyad

Glad to see Rie's still at it and doing it right.

Maple-boarded Jackson 7's look like a good move for her style. The clearly promo/endorsement-driven Schecter stuff was totally for the wrong style of music

@jamesnettleton68

Unbeatable, you blow my mind.

@Boguchany
