Mojave
Kill Clouseau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Touch is saved for those I call my
friends are chosen based on true trust.
Take your leave while I still have some control,
some control.
Burned by old flames.
While the memories, rise up, consuming me.
Wasted time leaves a void.
aren't human.
Yet you seem to be taking this too well for
someone so strikingly guilty of dramacide.
I've been much too lenient with you.
This punishment don't seem to fit the crimes
committed, you of sound mind.
Entrails of our bond lie on the floor.
Burned by old flames.
While the memories, rise up, consuming me.
Wasted time leaves a void.
Soon filled by hatred for you
aren't human.
Yet you seem to be taking this too well for
someone so strikingly guilty of dramacide.
Burned by old flames.
While the memories, rise up, consuming me.
Wasted time leaves a void.
Soon filled by hatred for you
aren't human.
Yet you seem to be taking this too well for
someone so strikingly guilty of dramacide.
The lyrics of Kill Clouseau's song "Mojave" carry themes of betrayal, hurt, and revenge. The opening line "Take your hand off of my shoulder" suggests the singer is addressing someone they no longer want physical or emotional contact with. The subsequent lines, "Touch is saved for those I call my friends are chosen based on true trust," further emphasize the importance of loyalty and trust in the singer's relationships. The line "Burned by old flames" reveals that the singer has been hurt in the past, possibly by this person they are now pushing away. The memories of that pain consume them and leave a void that, in turn, is filled with hatred for the person in question.
The line "you aren't human" is particularly striking and suggests that the singer sees the person they are addressing as being inhumane, possibly suggesting that they have acted in a cruel, heartless way. The line "someone so strikingly guilty of dramacide" further emphasizes this, painting a picture of someone who manipulates situations for dramatic effect at the cost of other people's feelings. The lyrics convey a sense of anger and betrayal, but also a measure of control – the singer still has some control over the situation, and they intend to use it to punish this person appropriately.
