First of My Kind
Miles Kane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is what I'm after darling
As it stands
In pursuit, I'm cruising
Crawling through like midnight panthers
Growling at the moon
I'm on higher ground
All in good time you'll find
That I'm the first of mine
My kind, my kind
Yeah I'm the first of mine
My kind, my kind
Sub-zero
I know you're as cold as ice
Gives me frostbite
It seems like you can't get enough
I'm on higher ground,
You're the last of your kind,
All in good time you'll find,
That I'm the first of mine,
My kind, my kind,
Yeah I'm the first of mine,
My kind, my kind,
Those exploding roads
Tinted spectacles
In the back of my mind,
Chinese whispers floating round
Heaven knows,
I'm the first of my kind,
I'm on higher ground,
You're the last of your kind,
All in good time you'll find,
That I'm the first of mine
My kind, my kind,
Yeah I'm the first of mine,
My kind, my kind,
Yeah I'm the first of mine,
My kind, my kind,
My kind, my kind,
My kind yeah
The lyrics of Miles Kane's song "First of My Kind" express a desire for true love, signified by the phrase "true romance is what I'm after darling." The singer is on a quest to find this love, comparing his search to the hunting of a panther in the dead of the night, as he prowls through life with a sense of purpose. He sees himself as unique, a leader among those like him, colloquially referred to as "my kind," and believes that he will be the first to find what he is looking for. The object of his pursuit, however, is described as "sub-zero," cold and unfeeling, creating a sense of tension and conflict between the two characters.
As the song progresses, the singer reasserts his conviction that he is the "first of his kind," unique and unrepeatable, even amidst the "exploding roads" and "Chinese whispers" of everyday life. His confident self-assertion comes to a climax in the song's refrain, "My kind, my kind, yeah I'm the first of mine, my kind, my kind," repeated over and over as the music builds to a crescendo.
Overall, the lyrics of "First of My Kind" convey an unshakeable self-belief and drive for personal fulfillment, set against a backdrop of romantic tension and a sense of the individual's uniqueness in the world.
