GENESIS
- Not About Us Lyrics / with translationsA little piece of something
Falling gently down down down
No one understands you like I do
I'd rather be beside you
Everything we know so well
Tell me what you feel now
Show me what you think of it
It's not about us anymore
It's all about the reasons
That we think we're fighting for
It's not about hate
It's not about pain we always feel
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
It's not about you, it's not about me
It's not about anger
It's more about the loneliness we feel
How can I begin to
Ask for some forgiveness
For all that we have taken
There's nothing left now
Just a little piece of something
Falling gently down down down
No one understands you no no
Like I do
There's nothing left now
It's not about us anymore
It's all about the reasons
That we think we're fighting for
It's not about hate
It's not about pain we always feel
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
It's not about you, it's not about me
It's not about anger
It's more about the loneliness we feel
It's not about us
It's not about hate
It's more about the loneliness we feel
It's not about anger
It's not about wanting
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
Falling gently down down down
No one understands you like I do
I'd rather be beside you
Everything we know so well
Tell me what you feel now
Show me what you think of it
It's not about us anymore
It's all about the reasons
That we think we're fighting for
It's not about hate
It's not about pain we always feel
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
It's not about you, it's not about me
It's not about anger
It's more about the loneliness we feel
How can I begin to
Ask for some forgiveness
For all that we have taken
There's nothing left now
Just a little piece of something
No one understands you no no
Like I do
There's nothing left now
It's not about us anymore
It's all about the reasons
That we think we're fighting for
It's not about hate
It's not about pain we always feel
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
It's not about you, it's not about me
It's not about anger
It's more about the loneliness we feel
It's not about us
It's not about hate
It's more about the loneliness we feel
It's not about anger
It's not about wanting
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones

When we think about the deeper meaning of the song, Genesis's 'Not About Us' is a profound insight into the intricacies of human connections, highlighting that arguments do not solely arise from personal gripes but rather from the universal human condition and the widespread loneliness felt by people. The simile of 'a little piece of something falling softly down' illustrates the slow but sure coming to terms with these truths. The lyrics of Not about us, although they mostly focus on the themes of solitude, introspection, anguish, love's dying and the finality of despair, carry the very same essences of understanding and communication, shared struggles and problems, going beyond personal issues, loneliness and emotional distance, loss and emptiness. The text also conveys the ideas of emotional struggle, loneliness and forgiveness which might appeal mainly to the adult audience. It is true that the language and content are not very explicit, nevertheless, the emotional depth and references to problems and pain do imply a rating that recommends parental guidance.
