The eldest so… Read Full Bio ↴Kenna Zemedkun is an Ethiopian-born American musician.
The eldest son of an immigrant family relocated to Virginia Beach (and later raised in Cincinnati, Ohio), Kenna began to express an interest in music upon receiving a copy of U2's The Joshua Tree. More records by influential artists such as The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, The Cure and The Cars followed, and remain as inspiration and influence of Kenna's music today. With the release of his first single, "Hell Bent", Kenna gained moderate popularity and an underground following of fans who eagerly awaited the release of his debut album, New Sacred Cow. After many delays and swapping of record labels, the album was finally released under Columbia Records in 2003. A subsequent North American tour was launched in the Summer of 2003 with Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan.
The album, which was co-produced by Chad Hugo of The Neptunes, is difficult to place in a single genre, containing elements of Electronica, Synth pop, Post rock, and House music. Two singles, "Sunday After You" and "Freetime" followed the release of the album; the music video of the latter, along with "Hell Bent", appear sporadically on MTV2.
A second album, titled "Make Sure They See My Face," was released in October 2007.
Kenna has also contributed to many other tracks by bands associated with Chad Hugo or The Neptunes, including but not limited to "Spiral" from William Orbit's album Hello Waveforms and "Red to Black" and "The Hard Way" off of The Rising Tied, the first album from Mike Shinoda's Fort Minor (although the second cut is only available as a bonus track, on the limited edition version of the album).
Loose Wires
Kenna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wanna be my muse
No resume necessary
You're too too too adorable not to be like all the others
Loose wires! We have a connection unlike anyone
Loose wires! Positive and negative's been undone
Run for cover! Put your hand on my hand, we'll have some fun
Isn't it electric in here?
I wanna know what it's about
Isn't it amazing in here?
I wanna know what you're about
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
All the hits that I've been missing
Been around the world once before
Upside down, rightside up, looking for that one
Riding around with glossed-over eyes, a fix
Loose wires! We have a connection unlike anyone
Loose wires! Positive and negative's been undone
Loose wires! Put your hand on my hand, we'll have some fun
Loose wires! Put your hand on my hand, we'll have some fun
Run for cover!
Isn't it electric in here?
I wanna know what it's about
Isn't it amazing in here?
I wanna know what you're about
Can't you see the episode
When renegades, with dirty ways
Dancing to the break of day
It's tension in here
Can't you see the laser pass
Right through your glass
Don't have to ask
It's green as grass
And being passed
It's so thick in here, in here
What's going in here, in here
Listen to me
Loose wires! We have a connection unlike anyone
Loose wires! Positive and negative's been undone
Loose wires! Put your hand on my hand, we'll have some fun
Loose wires! Put your hand on my hand, we'll have some fun
Run for cover!
Isn't it electric in here?
I wanna know what it's about
Isn't it amazing in here?
I wanna know what you're about
Isn't it amazing?
Isn't it amazing?
"Loose Wires" by Kenna is a song about a unique and intense connection between two people. The lyrics suggest that the singer has found someone who wants to be their muse or inspiration without needing a resume or qualifications. The repeated phrase "Loose Wires" represents the electrical or energetic connection between these two people, where positive and negative "wires" have been undone. The singer calls for the listener to put their hand on his hand, symbolizing the physical connection that amplifies their shared energy.
The chorus is juxtaposed with verses that describe the singer's previous experiences with relationships, where he has been searching for that special connection. He describes his experiences in traveling the world and looking for someone to ride with, suggesting that he has been searching for a long time. The bridge and chorus together describe the intense energy of the moment and the attraction between the two people.
The song has a very danceable beat and reflects the energy it describes. The lyrics are intentionally vague, so that listeners can fill in their own experiences of intense connection or attraction. This helps to create a sense of universality to the song, as most people have likely experienced this type of attraction at some point in their lives.

You don't need to question it
It's green as grass
It's fresh and new, like the grass in springtime
And being passed
It's being shared between us
It's so thick in here, in here
The atmosphere is so intense
What's going in here, in here
What's happening between us?
Listen to me
Take a moment to pay attention
Isn't it amazing?
This connection is truly incredible
Isn't it amazing?
This connection is truly incredible
