Musical Friday: Miike Snow – Genghis Khan

Miike Snow in this song is comparing himself to Genghis Khan who united the Mongol tribes and conquered all of China, and was known to have many women in his life.

Miike implies that he becomes irrationally, even violently jealous thinking of his lover sleeping with other people.

Its a good song for all the Jealous men out there.

[Verse 1]

I know there’s no form
And no labels to put on
To this thing we keep
And dip into when we need
And I don’t have the right
To ask where you go at night
But the waves hit my head
To think someone’s in your bed

[Chorus]
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
I don’t want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
Don’t want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me

[Verse 2]
And the lights, they glow
Like I’ve just lost the World War
And the scene slips away
To the evenness I fake
It’s a shit old world
Cause I don’t really want you, girl
But you can’t be free
Cause I’m selfish, I’m obscene

[Chorus]
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
I don’t want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
Don’t want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me

[Bridge]
I wanna make up my mind
But I don’t know myself
No I don’t know myself
I wanna make up my mind
But I don’t know myself
No I don’t know myself
I wanna make up my mind
But I don’t know myself
No I don’t know myself

[Chorus]
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
I don’t want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
I get a little bit Genghis Khan
Don’t want you to get it on
With nobody else but me
With nobody else but me
