Genetic Jail offers the listener thought-provoking words and concepts, as it explores the idea that being born into a specific family is a random occurrence that often leads to a misalignment between personal beliefs and inherited traditions or values.
For the band, the track “challenges listeners to question and redefine the factors that shape their sense of self, drawing a parallel between the notion of a ‘family cell’, where people can feel locked, and the ‘blood cells’ that are somehow supposed to define our identity.”
Sonically, the song relies heaving on post-punk, but references Neue Deutsche Welle to reinforce the claustrophobia caused by the oppressive nature of the pressure to conform.
