Not Another Lame Fight Song
Kawehi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every little secret
I wanna know you like a second skin
Own you like a Vixen
I'll be your Iago
Whispering in mono
Your pretty little sycophant
Oh, where to start?
(Bullet straight right through the heart)
Oh, it′s an art
Tearing everything apart!
Look out, here I am
Blowing through your brain
Like a motherfucking train
All eyes up you will know my name
Look out, here I am
Blowing through domain
Like a fucking hurricane
All eyes up, you will know my name
It's more than settling the score
I just want to rip your chord out
Break every little vein
You must think I'm so insane!
Oh, where to start?
(Bullet straight right through the heart)
Oh, it′s an art
Tearing everything apart!
Look out, here I am
Blowing through your brain
Like a motherfucking train
All eyes up you will know my name
Look out, here I am
Blowing through domain
Like a fucking hurricane
All eyes up you will know my name
Look out, here I am
Blowing through your brain
Like a motherfucking train
All eyes up you will know my name
Look out, here I am
Blowing through domain
Like a fucking hurricane
All eyes up you will know my name
You will know my name
You will know my name
All eyes up
You will know my name

I've watched this video countless times over the years and am always struck by the unmitigated confidence, a tie dye t-shirt, khaki shorts and no Fs given... iconic!

You're fantastic, it's takes quite a courage to wander down a street and make a live music video!

The New York Times article on "Great Covers of 90s Songs" is what made me aware of Kawehi. Unlike most of the other songs on that list, she's one of the few artists whose original music I like even more than the covers. Kawehi is a great lyricist with an excellent year for melody and creating wonderfully hooky pop music with excellent lyrical content. She rises above and beyond the viral covers that are helping to make her famous. I hope more people turn their attention to her original music as a result of the exposure that comes from the covers, because she is amazing.
