How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Origins” is a single released by Tennis under Fat Possum Records on November 9, 2011 before appearing on their sophomore album.

The song appears to examine the events of the first book of the Bible, Genesis, and asks why God, who is omnipotent and omniscient, would doom us to sin in the first place.
