Genesis of Gaea
Xixa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Genesis of Gaea
Sweet little child, there are things you must know
Deep in the night, yes a light begins to grow
A fever's come to collect what she can
There in the shadow, you extend your loving hand

Here we stand, Genesis of Gaea
Here we lay out our hearts

So tear them all apart

Sweet little child, there's no place for you here
They're on to you now, yes the walls are closing in
You curse the design, and her devious slight of hand
Like water from wine, placed back in the land

Here we stand, Genesis of Gaea
Here we lay out our hearts
So tear them all apart

Here we stand, Genesis of Gaea
Here we lay out our hearts
Hand in hand, Genesis of Gaea

May we lay out our hearts
So tear them all apart

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of "Genesis of Gaea" by Xixa are addressed to a "sweet little child," whom the singer feels should be made aware of certain truths. The song's opening lines suggest that there is a sinister force at work that only reveals itself in the darkness. A "fever" is present, which must be fought off, and the child is called upon to "extend" a "loving hand" to someone or something unknown. These lyrics set up a powerful sense of foreboding and add a degree of uncertainty to the song's pathos.

Later in the song, the lyrics turn dark, as the child is warned that there is no place for them in this world. They are under scrutiny, and the walls are closing in. The lyrics personify the child's anger, as they are said to "curse the design" of the world they inhabit. The theme of water is introduced in the song, with the lyrics referring to the manipulation of its attributes, specifically its ability to turn into wine. This culminates in the final verse, where the singer implores the child to join them hand in hand to lay "out our hearts, so tear them all apart." While seemingly sinister, the lyrics serve to encourage an openness and honesty that transcends the difficulties that the song's protagonist faces.

Line by Line Meaning

Sweet little child, there are things you must know
Addressing a child with important knowledge to impart

Deep in the night, yes a light begins to grow
Mystery and anticipation as an unknown light emerges

A fever's come to collect what she can
A force has arrived to take what it desires

There in the shadow, you extend your loving hand
A gesture of love in a dark moment

Here we stand, Genesis of Gaea
The moment of a new genesis or beginning

Here we lay out our hearts
An emotional and vulnerable moment

So tear them all apart
Inviting destruction or reckoning with the past

Sweet little child, there's no place for you here
Expressing a lack of belonging or exclusion

They're on to you now, yes the walls are closing in
Sensing impending doom or capture

You curse the design, and her devious slight of hand
Anger or resentment over manipulation or trickery

Like water from wine, placed back in the land
Transformed or reclaimed, returned to its original form

Hand in hand, Genesis of Gaea
Working together in this new beginning

May we lay out our hearts
Wishing for continued vulnerability and openness

So tear them all apart
Repeating the invitation to destruction or reckoning
