Knife, The - Kino Lyrics






I heard a puff, I heard a blow
I felt the ground, I felt the snow
I thought of linen and old lace
I never really saw his face
I heard a grunt, I heard a moan
I felt the sun, I saw the moon
I saw the northern light above
And the eclipse of the sun
I am a breath, I am a wish
I am a rocket, And a fish
I felt his measures and his weight
My own body as a scale
You heard a whisper in my ear
You are not here, you are not there
I saw the northern light above
The eclipse of the sun
My feet was hurt, my knees were sore
And I wondered why he burned
And I wondered why he burned

I heard a puff, I heard a blow
I felt the ground, I felt the snow
I thought of linen and of lace
I never really saw his face
I heard a grunt, I heard a moan
I felt the sun, I saw the moon
I saw the northern light above
And the eclipse of the sun

I am a breath, I am a wish
I am a rocket, And a fish
I felt his measures and his weight
My own body as a scale
You heard a whisper in my ear
You are not here, you are not there
So in love that I could die
The eclipse of the sun
My feet was hurt, my knees were sore
And I wondered why it burned
And I wondered why it burned

Then I had to climb down
I went up to see the sun rise
And then I had to climb back up again
I had to be there to see the sun rise
For the air that you sent to guide me
Had a tonne of elephant grey
We were all there in the morning
We were there and we wanted to stay
Then I had to climb down
I went up to see the sun rise
And then I had to climb back up again
I had to be there to see the sun rise
For the air that you sent to guide me
Had a tonne of elephant grey
We were all there in the morning
We were there and we wanted to stay

    Kino is the instrument in the main sample that originates in japan, being traditional there.

    +See Wolf Kino means film/cinema in Swedish, German, Russian and other languages

    S.... W....

    it means movie theater/cinema in german, swiss german, swedish, russian etc

    S.... W....

    its a game drop a marble and it falls into a random slot...hope its 1000$$$

  14. C.... ....

    I don't think this song is necessarily about rape. There are The Knife songs that definitely are. In this one, there are a few lines that suggest that meaning, but just as many that contradict it. The song could easily be about dancing all night. It could also have a religious connotation.

    C.... ....

    @Eric the Red she kind of said it herself.

    C.... ....

    @Tyler Poleshuk I just wanted the link to where she explained it.

    C.... ....

    CircleTriangles It is about rape

    C.... ....

    It isn't about rape unless you know it's about rape. If you don't know it's about rape, then it isn't. I don't know how anyone could possibly miss it maybe because it's highly ambiguous and sounds no different from a song about a nice party with a pleasant comedown

    C.... ....

    She's publicly stated that this song is about being raped. It was one of the 2010 issues of the rolling stone

  15. D.... ....

    This is one of the poppiest things I like. As for american's, it would probably be NIN.

  16. u.... ....

    ooooh i like that

  17. t.... ....

    you're so special

  18. D.... �....

    I was looking this song for i dont know how many years.. more than 2. Anyway it's still annoying as hell..

  19. M.... R....

    getting raped

  20. J.... ....

    Amazical.

  21. J.... ....

    Just getting my daily dose.

  22. J.... ....

    I've been commenting a lot lately, but: I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!

  23. J.... ....

    Not quite sure, but I don't think it has a PG rated meaning.

  24. J.... ....

    The knife is brilliant!

  25. J.... L....

    What are they talking about? I don't found a meaning for this song, can anybody help me :(

  26. d.... ....

    oh found that comment, thanks

  27. c.... l....

    It is so much more real than life.

  28. B.... ....

    Pretty obvious if you listen to the lyrics...

  29. I.... ....

    Somebody posted a line of misheard lyrics in the comments, there isn't an alternate version of the song or anything like that.

  30. d.... ....

    Where can I find that version?

  31. K.... C....

    The Knife has got to be my third favorite band. It's barely behind Broken Social Scene. Anyway, Kino rocks! I like the live version more though.

  32. M.... ....

    I think you're right!

  33. t.... ....

    Who says it's about rape?

  34. k.... ....

    I love The Knife.

  35. J.... C....

    Beautiful words of wisdom...

  36. c.... ....

    .... silly? escaping into symbol of loneliness, isolation and freedom. its incredibly painful

  37. I.... ....

    I actually prefer dreamfyre's version of the lyrics. :)

  38. 8.... ....

    omg now i hear it that way too

  39. A.... B....

    Half of it is about rape, the other half is about her perspective as an arctic fox. So it's a little silly.

  40. c.... ....

    I was hearing it as, "If we're all dead in the morning, we were where we wanted to stay," and now I'm not sure if I'm disappointed to find out I was mishearing it. I guess I'm not; the song would be much darker that way.

  41. A.... ....

    lol nice song. xD

  42. i.... ....

    ça merde ne pas complete!

  43. n.... d....

    thank U, The Knife f*cking rules the Nation !!!!!! i want mary them!
