intelligent and thought provoking personal lyrics about whats relevant to people as a whole. The product of an 80s generation graciously raised on television, genCAB supplies more depth than what the dance floor has to offer. Now on the surface, the project that almost never saw the light at the end of the tunnel is causing many peers to rethink their own art and is guaranteed to open new minds to the Industrial scene.
...but our opinions are certainly not our accomplishments
More a personal exploration than anything else, genCAB draws influence from not only some select EBM, but also IDM, trip hop, and some rhythmic noise. Lyrics tend to mirror frustration mostly, even delving into the subject of writing his own material such as on Expired Inside, although the material also has a few good dance songs like High Tech Low Life (in earlier version having the name Me & Malaise) and Self Images, for instance.
Remixes have been produced for Unter Null, Aesthetic Perfection, Autovon, Cyanotic, and Cesium_137. The first full length, "II transMuter", released in 08/26/2008, is coproduced by Isaac Glendening of Cesium 137.
Bringing the new breath of air into the dusty air of today's scene, genCAB makes room for himself and promises to bring raw and aggressive, but at the same time, an emotional sound back to electro!
Let It Be
genCAB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i'm hoping, i'm wishing but i won't pray
all wet, soaking it up
i can take a lot of pain but enough is enough
inside, trapped myself
my god i never thought that this could happen to someone else
six hits, loving it rough
but no one ever knows if you cover it up
lights out, i don't know what you're talking about
this time i lost tonight
but tomorrow's the chance to make it right
my mind is going blank
and i can't recall a reason or a soul that i should thank
new world i won't embrace
a dimension that's preventing me from keeping the pace
slowed down you'll grab the knife
and dissect the little decencies installed within my life
another answer that i can't face
you may forget my body but not my face
i know i'm a disgrace
but there is no peace until i die
CHORUS
all the scenery is strange
gone a year i'll face the change
there is nowhere left for me
so let it be
every destiny turns black
in the end we'll face that fact
my futures gray and i can't see
so let it be
my mind is going blank there is no one to thank dissect what's left of me but you won't let me
The lyrics of genCAB's song "Let It Be" depict a state of despair and hopelessness that the singer finds themselves in. The opening lines "skies open, raining again today, i'm hoping, i'm wishing but i won't pray" set the tone for the song, as the singer expresses a lack of faith in any form of higher power or intervention. The reference to rain, which can be symbolic of tears or sadness, suggests that the singer is experiencing emotional turmoil.
The subsequent lines "all wet, soaking it up, i can take a lot of pain but enough is enough" indicate that the singer has reached their breaking point and can no longer withstand the pain and suffering they have been enduring. The third verse "my mind is going blank and i can't recall a reason or a soul that i should thank, new world i won't embrace" suggests that the singer is experiencing a kind of existential crisis, where they are unable to find any meaning or purpose in their life, and are unwilling to conform to societal norms or expectations.
The chorus "all the scenery is strange, gone a year i'll face the change, there is nowhere left for me, so let it be, every destiny turns black, in the end we'll face that fact, my futures gray and i can't see, so let it be" reinforces the theme of hopelessness and acceptance of fate. The repeated refrain "so let it be" suggests a resignation to the circumstances and a surrender to the unknown future.
Overall, "Let It Be" is a poignant and introspective song that speaks to the struggles of finding meaning and purpose in a chaotic and unpredictable world.

i can take a lot of pain but enough is enough
I can handle a lot of pain but there comes a point where it's too much to bear
inside, trapped myself
I feel trapped inside my own mind and can't escape my thoughts
my god i never thought that this could happen to someone else
I never thought this kind of pain could happen to anyone other than myself
six hits, loving it rough
I'm indulging in self-destructive behavior, thinking it will help me feel better
but no one ever knows if you cover it up
No one can tell what I'm going through because I'm trying to hide my pain
and you fall down, don't make a sound
When I hit rock bottom, I don't want anyone to know and try to hide everything
lights out, i don't know what you're talking about
When people try to help me, I tend to shut down and ignore them
this time i lost tonight
I feel like I've lost the battle with my emotions tonight
but tomorrow's the chance to make it right
Tomorrow is a new day and a new chance to try and overcome my struggles
my mind is going blank
My mind is numb and I can't think straight
and i can't recall a reason or a soul that i should thank
I can't think of a reason to be grateful or anyone to thank for anything
new world i won't embrace
I don't want to accept and adapt to the changes happening around me
a dimension that's preventing me from keeping the pace
Something is holding me back and hindering my progress
slowed down you'll grab the knife
If I slow down and don't keep busy, I'll become overwhelmed with negative thoughts
and dissect the little decencies installed within my life
I'll pick apart any little good in my life and focus on the negative
another answer that i can't face
I can't face another problem or answer to why I feel this way
you may forget my body but not my face
People may forget who I am, but they'll remember the pain and sadness in my face
i know i'm a disgrace
I feel shame and disappointment in myself for not being able to handle my emotions
but there is no peace until i die
I don't see a way to find peace or happiness until I pass away
all the scenery is strange
Everything around me seems different and unfamiliar
gone a year i'll face the change
In a year from now, I'll be forced to confront and adapt to even more changes
there is nowhere left for me
I feel like there's no place for me in this world
so let it be
I'm accepting that things are out of my control and choosing to let it be
every destiny turns black
I feel like every outcome or fate leads to darkness and negativity
in the end we'll face that fact
Eventually, we all have to accept the harsh realities of life
my futures gray and i can't see
I don't see a positive future ahead of me, it all looks bleak
my mind is going blank there is no one to thank
I have completely detached emotionally and can't find anyone or anything to be grateful for
dissect what's left of me but you won't let me
Even though I may want to give up, something inside me won't let me fully let go or self-destruct
