“Genesis” Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a day Jack and Jim didn’t know me from Adam
And Eve wasn’t some what’s-her-name in my bed
It’s like outta the dark I saw the neon a-flashing
Heard the snake on my shoulder give me the go-ahead
So I had my first sip and I didn’t stop there, oh, I swear

[Chorus]
From the time I wake up to the time I lay down
It’s the Devil’ playground everywhere that I look
Swear it’s there in my blood, I was born to be lost
Lot of lines that I crossed little more than I should

[Post-Chorus]
I’m losing me to pretty eyes and the proof
He knew what I’d battle, he knew what would tempt me
He threw out the apple, said, “Let there be women and let there be whiskey”

[Verse 2]
Wish I could take all these troubles and put ’em back in the bottle
Wish I could take all them girls and not take ’em home
Swear it’s all in the past until I do it tomorrow
When I’m not going alarmed, I guess I probably won’t
I can’t leave ’em alone

[Chorus]
From the time I wake up to the time I lay down
It’s the Devil’ playground everywhere that I look
Swear it’s there in my blood, I was born to be lost
Lot of lines that I crossed little more than I should

[Post-Chorus]
I’m losing me to pretty eyes and the proof
He knew what I’d battle, he knew what would tempt me
He threw out the apple, said, “Let there be women and let there be whiskey”

[Bridge]

Yeah, I do good for a second than I can’t help myself, mm
Makes it look like Heaven ’til I end up in Hell

[Chorus]
From the time I wake up to the time I lay down
It’s the Devil’ playground everywhere that I look
Swear it’s there in my blood, I was born to be lost
Lot of lines that I crossed little more than I should

[Post-Chorus]
I’m losing me to pretty eyes and the proof
He knew what I’d battle, he knew what would tempt me
He threw out the apple, said, “Let there be women and let there be whiskey”

Meaning of ‘Genesis’ Lyrics Explained

Verse 1 Meaning:
The singer remembers a time when life was simple, and nobody really knew who he was. He wasn’t involved with anyone, and everything felt innocent. But then, suddenly, something caught his attention—like a bright light in the dark—and he heard a tempting voice encouraging him. That moment led him to try drinking for the first time, and once he started, he couldn’t stop.

Chorus Meaning:
From morning until night, the singer feels surrounded by temptation, like the world is full of bad influences. It feels like this struggle is part of who he is, almost in his blood. He admits that he’s crossed a lot of boundaries, maybe more than he should have, showing how hard it is for him to stay on the right path.

Post-Chorus Meaning:
He feels himself slipping away whenever he’s around attractive people, and that’s clear from his actions. It’s like someone knew exactly what would be tough for him to resist and set those temptations in front of him—women and alcohol being the biggest challenges.

Verse 2 Meaning:
The singer wishes he could just put all his problems away, like locking them up in a bottle. He also wishes he could avoid bringing women home, but he admits he probably will again tomorrow. Even when he thinks he’s done, he realizes he can’t stay away from these things that pull him back in.

Chorus Meaning:
Again, he talks about how from the moment he wakes until he goes to sleep, he feels like he’s trapped in a place full of temptations. It’s something deep inside him, like it’s part of who he is, making it really hard to avoid crossing lines he probably shouldn’t.

Post-Chorus Meaning:
He’s losing control around attractive people, and it’s obvious by his actions. Someone set these temptations knowing they’d be difficult for him to fight against—offering women and whiskey like an impossible choice to resist.

Bridge Meaning:
Sometimes, he can do well and stay strong for a short time, but then he falls back into his old habits. It feels like a brief moment of peace before everything crashes down and he ends up in a bad place again.

Chorus Meaning:
The singer repeats how every part of his day feels filled with temptation, making it seem like he was born to struggle with these problems. He admits to crossing many boundaries, showing how hard it is for him to stay away from trouble.

Post-Chorus Meaning:
Once again, he feels himself getting lost when faced with attractive people and temptation. It’s clear someone knew exactly what would test him, giving him women and whiskey as challenges he can’t easily overcome.
