Pots And Pans
The Kills渀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let alone knives in my kitchen
To keep you cooking
I can't find enough love in my heart
Let alone in my bones
To keep you standing
Ain't enough salt in the ocean
There ain't a drop left in my tank
To move, move, move your dead weight
I ain't joking
You're so good
I ain't joking when I said
You're so good
I can't find enough pots and pans
Let alone knives in my kitchen
To keep you cooking
To keep you cooking
I can't find enough love in my heart
Let alone in my bones
To keep you standing
These are the days we'll never forget
When the dawn dawns on you
These are the days we'll never forget
When the dawn dawns on you
These are the days we'll never forget
When the dawn dawns on you
These are the days we'll never forget
When the dawn dawns on you
These are the days we'll never forget
When the dawn dawns on you
These are the days we'll never forget
When the dawn dawns on you
These are the days we'll never forget
When the dawn dawns on you
These are the days we'll never forget
When the dawn dawns on you
These are the days we'll never forget
When the dawn dawns on you
These are the days we'll never forget
When the dawn dawns on you
The lyrics of The Kills' song "Pots And Pans" seem to convey a sense of exhaustion and inability to keep going in a relationship. The singer expresses that she doesn't have enough "pots and pans" or even "love" to sustain her partner, who seems to be "dead weight." Despite acknowledging the partner's goodness or possibly talent, the singer seems to be completely drained and unable to cope. The metaphor of the "pots and pans" and "knives" in the kitchen suggests that the relationship has become a burden or a chore, and the singer is struggling to keep up with the demands of it.
The second half of the song seems to provide a glimmer of hope with the repetition of the line "These are the days we'll never forget when the dawn dawns on you." This could suggest a turning point or realization that the relationship is worth fighting for, even though it seems like an insurmountable task at the moment. The use of the word "dawn" could also symbolize a new beginning, a fresh start, and a chance to rebuild what has been lost.
Overall, the lyrics to "Pots And Pans" by The Kills seem to be a powerful exploration of the struggles and complexities of relationships. It conveys the idea that even the best of relationships can be incredibly challenging and that sometimes it requires a great deal of effort and energy to keep them going.
