Kublai Khan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
dwells inside of me.
see sweet innocence
taking what im given
twisting any sense left struggling inside of me
your heart is a pit where my actions
make a new nest
to lick their wounds
my weak traits
all lie and wait
for love and lust
for the two to seperate
but they always find a way
get away
in the silver moonlight they both dance
in a perfect course
soft steps set the pace
slow moves sweep
night after night the two meet
they lose themselves
as the tension builds
temporary fix for a
heart impoverished
you cant. change me
hopless. just leave
im never who you thought i was
empty life with a fake agenda
im the worst kind. fooling hearts
your pain your hate
in the silver moonlight they both dance
your hate courts your heart
and they twist about
The lyrics of Kublai Khan's "Partners" talk about the internal struggles of the lyricist dealing with poverty, and how this situation has affected his ability to deal with relationships. Poverty is personified in the lyrics as something that dwells inside him, and it seems to have taken the sense out of him. The lyricist feels that he is unable to be genuine in love and lust, and these two emotions often end up separating. The lyrics suggest that the lyricist's mistakes and weak traits gather, waiting to take advantage of an opportunity in the future.
Furthermore, the lyrics convey the idea that the tension between love and hate is the only thing that keeps the lyricist going. The two emotions appear to be inseparable from the lyricist, as they dance together in the moonlight. The lyrics suggest that the pain and hate that result from past relationships have twisted the lyricist around, making him incapable of being the person the other partner wants him to be. So, he is left with an "empty life with a fake agenda."
Overall, the lyrics of "Partners" depict a situation where poverty and a lack of self-esteem have trapped the lyricist in a cycle of hopeless relationships, where love and hate are the two only constants that give meaning to his life.
