The song "Genesis" by T Grimes is a haunting and introspective exploration of the singer's emotions and the struggle to connect with their own heart. The repetition of the lines "My heart, I never feel, I never see, I never know" creates a sense of detachment and uncertainty, as if the singer is numb to their own emotions and unable to understand them fully. This is reflected in the line "And then it falls, and then I fall, and then I know," which suggests that it is only when the singer's heart "falls" or is broken that they are able to truly understand and feel their emotions.
The second half of the song shifts to a more optimistic tone, with the lines "Home and I know, playing the deck above, it's always different, I am the one in love." Here, the singer seems to have found a sense of grounding and self-awareness, as symbolized by the idea of being "home." The phrase "playing the deck above" perhaps refers to a feeling of being above or detached from the world, but also suggests a sense of playfulness or spontaneity. The final emphasis on being "the one in love" perhaps implies that the singer has found a renewed sense of connection, either with another person or with themselves.
Overall, "Genesis" is a powerful and emotive song that explores the complexities of human emotion and the struggle to find a sense of meaning and understanding in one's own heart.

"Oh, heart
And then it falls
And then I fall
And then I know
My heart will never feel
Will never see
Will never know"
According to my understanding, the song starts out slowly, showing that the speaker is still alive but her mental condition is clouded. After the beat drop though, when the music becomes really energetic, the song merely brings back memories that are crystal clear, as the lyrics suggest.
"Oh, heart
And then it falls
And then I fall
And then I know"
I find the lyrics and the music behind them to be quite motivating. It's gotten to the point where I want to base a little comic around that passage.
