GENESIS
- Cul De Sac Lyrics / with translationsWake up now, this is the time you've waited for
Far below, where shadows fester as they grow
An army thousands strong, obsessed by right and wrong
Sense their time is coming near
So they turn towards the light from their region of the night
Marching on and on
They near the air, it won't be long
You know you're on the way out
It's just a matter of time
You thought you'd rule the world forever
Long live the king, don't spare the loser
After all, you're not what you thought you were at all
You're just a natural fact, another cul de sac
On nature's hard unfeeling trail
And all those dreams of old will be stories left untold
Cut off in your prime, extinct until the end of time
Now the host emerges, a shadow starts to fall
Not one knows what hit them, none can see at all
Even as the end approaches still they're not aware
How can you fight a foe so deadly
When you don't even know it's there
And now that the job is almost done
Maybe some escape, no, not even one
Far below, where shadows fester as they grow
An army thousands strong, obsessed by right and wrong
Sense their time is coming near
So they turn towards the light from their region of the night
Marching on and on
They near the air, it won't be long
You know you're on the way out
It's just a matter of time
You thought you'd rule the world forever
Long live the king, don't spare the loser
After all, you're not what you thought you were at all
On nature's hard unfeeling trail
And all those dreams of old will be stories left untold
Cut off in your prime, extinct until the end of time
Now the host emerges, a shadow starts to fall
Not one knows what hit them, none can see at all
Even as the end approaches still they're not aware
How can you fight a foe so deadly
When you don't even know it's there
And now that the job is almost done
Maybe some escape, no, not even one

When we look deeper into its meaning, the 'Cul-De-Sac' track by the English progressive rock band Genesis depicts a tale of power struggles and fall using metaphors such as shadows, armies, and kings to illustrate the momentary period of rule and the unavoidable defeat.

The lyrics of the song stress mainly despair, angst, reflection, nostalgia as well as social commentary. At the same time, the song points out the importance of inevitability of downfall, illusion of power and confronting reality. The lyrics are full of conflict and existential reflection themes which may not be appropriate for very young kids without adult supervision.
