I'm Your Man
The Genes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't turn the light off and leave me
This bed feels cold and empty
The ghosts will come and get me
Won't you please stay here I'm scared

So sorry to be trouble
But this room is like a goal
In the arms of love all fail
Won't you please stay here I'm scared
I need you to save me I'm scared

Don't turn the light off and leave me
Without love I am empty
You're the only one who'll have me




So won't you please stay here I'm scared
I need you to save me I'm so scared

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Genes' song "I'm Your Man" depict the desperation of a person who is afraid of being alone. The first stanza talks about the fear of being left alone in the dark, with no one else to provide comfort. The person describes feeling like there are ghosts around them, waiting to pounce as soon as they're alone. They're begging their partner not to leave them, acknowledging that they're scared and need someone to be there for them.


The second stanza reveals the root of this fear - being without love. The person feels empty without their partner's affection, and sees their presence as the only thing that will make them whole. They acknowledge that they might be a burden to their partner, but cannot help how they feel. They desperately need someone to save them from their loneliness and fear.


Overall, the song is a poignant ode to the power of love and the fear of loneliness. It's a frank and honest portrayal of one person's need for another, regardless of the cost.

Don't turn the light off and leave me
Please don't abandon me and leave me in darkness


This bed feels cold and empty
Without you, my bed feels lifeless and lacks warmth


The ghosts will come and get me
I'm haunted by my past and it's causing me distress


Won't you please stay here, I'm scared
I'm filled with fear and I need you to comfort me


So sorry to be trouble
I feel guilty for burdening you with my feelings


But this room is like a goal
This room is a prison and I feel trapped


In the arms of love all fail
Love has failed me before and I'm scared to trust in it again


I need you to save me, I'm scared
I'm in need of your support and I'm afraid of the consequences if you leave me


Without love I am empty
Love is the only thing that fills the void inside of me


You're the only one who'll have me
Out of everyone, I feel most accepted by you


I need you to save me, I'm so scared
I'm in dire need of your protection and comfort because I'm extremely frightened

Shiloh: I'm infected
I'm infected, by your genetics
Shiloh I'm the doctor
Shiloh I'm your father
Oh Shiloh that was close
Take your medicine!

I'm infected, by your genetics
Shiloh you're my patient
Shiloh be more patient
You have limitations, don't go chasing flies
I must be protective
You cannot be reckless
That's what is expected, when you are infected

I'm infected, by your genetics (X2)

And I don't think that I can be fixed
No I don't think that I can be fixed
So tell me why oh why are my genetics such a bitch!

It's this blood condition
Damn this blood condition!
Mother can you hear me? Thanks for the disease!
Now I am sequestered
Part of the collection
That's what is expected when you are infected (Repeat x3)

How much of it's genetics, how much of it is fate?
How much of it depends on the choices we make?
He says I have her eyes do i also inherit his shame?
Is heredity the culprit, can I stop it or am i a slave?

I'm infected, by your genetics (X2)

What hope has a girl who is sick?
What dream of a life past this fence
It really makes no difference
'cause I know that I'll never be fixed!

Tell me why of why are my genetics such a ... Bitch

Oh...I want to go
Outside
Outside

Oh...I want to go
Outside
Outside

Infected sung by Shiloh Wallace (Alexa Vega)

"Shilo be more patient." The way she says that just says all about her anger and hate. Alexa Vega is an amazing singer and actor, perfect for this part.

"How much of it's genetics? How much of it is fate? How much of it depends on the choices that we make...." That's MY favorite part <3

I know it's not the same, but I was born with Cerebral Palsy. The pain and fatigue keeps me bedridden a lot, so when I feel angsty I just headbang to this. It's cathartic

Merry From The Barricade

SkeletonSexx
