Kate
Lotus Child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the tiniest of dark little doses
And all at once became enchanted by her charms
We tempted fate,
We embraced in darkened doorways and stairwells
Her skin so cold until she ran into my arms
I miss you more and more by the hour
I'll be with you, I swear
On my heart, on my heart
Be with you, I swear
On my heart, on my heart
I met a Kate
And the full details I scarcely remember
But over time I lost connection with my friends
Still I can state
Despite the lonely weeks that fill my Decembers
A coup of rendezvous erases all regrets.
Now, my blood runs thick like sap in a tree
But picks up quick when you're back and I know, I know, I know, no no
And I'll be with you, I swear
On my heart, on my heart
Be with you, I swear
On my heart, on my heart
And you're body breaks into a million shards, when we part
Be with you, I swear
On my heart, on my heart
So my dear, lets be clear as I wave you over here
That I find myself questioning
Would it shake me to just break it off?
I won't miss your insistence "a tryst for the day's rent"
When you and I meet its like piss meets the pavement
I've been climbing so hard but I can finally feel you under my toes
I met a Kate
Its so strange to be estranged from your one true beloved
Do all I can to find a love just like her.
And I'll be with you, I swear
On my heart, on my heart
Be with you, I swear
On my heart, on my heart
And your body breaks into a million shards, when we part
I'll be with you, I swear (be with you i swear x5)
On my heart, on my heart
"Kate" by Lotus Child is a song that seems to chronicle the singer's tumultuous relationship with a woman named Kate. The singer meets Kate and is immediately drawn to her, even though he knows that their relationship is risky and could end poorly. Despite this, the two of them continue to meet in secret, often in dark corners or empty stairwells. The singer becomes infatuated with Kate, and even though he loses touch with his friends, he can't seem to shake her from his mind. The two of them have a chemistry that can't be denied, and though the singer sometimes questions whether or not their relationship is worth the risk, he can't help coming back to Kate.
The lyrics of the chorus show the intensity of the singer's feelings for Kate. He promises that he will be with her, swearing on his heart again and again. He talks about the physical pain he feels when they part, as if his body is breaking into a million shards. Despite the difficulties that come with their relationship, the singer is willing to endure anything in order to be with Kate.

I met a Kate
I encountered a person named Kate
In the tiniest of dark little doses
We met in a small, dimly lit space
And all at once became enchanted by her charms
I was immediately captivated by her appeal
We tempted fate,
We took risks in our relationship
We embraced in darkened doorways and stairwells
We shared intimate moments in private areas
Her skin so cold until she ran into my arms
She seemed distant until we connected physically
I miss you more and more by the hour
My longing for Kate increases constantly
I'll be with you, I swear
On my heart, on my heart
Be with you, I swear
On my heart, on my heart
I promise to be with her and my sincerity is genuine
And the full details I scarcely remember
I have few memories of our early interactions
But over time I lost connection with my friends
My relationship with Kate resulted in me distancing myself from my social circle
Despite the lonely weeks that fill my Decembers
Despite feeling alone during the holiday season
A coup of rendezvous erases all regrets.
Seeing Kate again wipes away any doubts or remorse
Now, my blood runs thick like sap in a tree
My feelings for Kate are intense and unwavering
But picks up quick when you're back and I know, I know, I know, no no
My emotions become stronger when I see her again
And you're body breaks into a million shards, when we part
Separating from Kate is physically and emotionally painful
So my dear, lets be clear as I wave you over here
Let me make this explicit as I call you over
That I find myself questioning
I have doubts about our relationship
Would it shake me to just break it off?
Would I be able to end our relationship without it affecting me?
I won't miss your insistence "a tryst for the day's rent"
I won't miss your requests for superficial intimacy
When you and I meet its like piss meets the pavement
Our meetings lack romance or intimacy
I've been climbing so hard but I can finally feel you under my toes
I've been working to move forward in life, but Kate is still present in my thoughts
Its so strange to be estranged from your one true beloved
It's odd to be disconnected from someone who I thought was my soulmate
Do all I can to find a love just like her.
I try to find a partner who reminds me of Kate
