Genesis
Secrets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You think you’re better than everyone
But in the end you’re like a coward holding a gun
So keep running your dirty mouth
You still don’t know, what you’re talking about
I used your hating
Turned it around to motivate me
Your words so condescending
But truth be told they keep me going

I’ll use analogies, and simple harmonies
To tell you you’re changing and its not a good thing
I only wish you knew the good inside of you
Could conquer the darkness and your heart could stop this

Abandoned, shattered alone
Your doubts are screaming at the top of their lungs
Ill pay no mind to their songs
Ill let you live an empty life all alone

I’d love to see you try to stop me
You really think this is easy, right? (fuck)
You’ll never know
Cause you’ll never even try this

I’ll use analogies, and simple harmonies
To tell you you’re changing and its not a good thing
I only wish you knew the good inside of you
Could conquer the darkness and your heart could stop this

Abandoned, shattered alone
Your doubts are screaming at the top of their lungs





Step by step, you’re just a face, step by step
You fade away, I’ll bring you hell

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Secrets’ song ‘Genesis’ give a powerful message about self-belief and motivation, even when someone is constantly being put down by others. The opening lines are directed at someone who believes they are superior to everyone else, yet is still unable to face the challenges of life without resorting to violence. The artist highlights the importance of using hatred and negative energy to motivate oneself rather than being weighed down by it.


The following lines mention the use of analogies and simple harmonies to help the person understand that they have changed for the worse and that they need to turn towards their inner good in order to overcome this darkness. The artist insists that the person’s doubts are screaming at the top of their lungs, but they will not pay any attention to them. Instead, they will allow them to live an empty life all alone.


The ending of the song is upbeat, as the artist claims that the person who belittled them will never be able to stop them because they lack the courage to even try. The piece concludes with the words, “Step by step, you’re just a face. Step by step, you fade away, I’ll bring you hell,” a nod to the fact that the artist is not one to give up easily, and will keep fighting till the end.
