Miike Snow Genghis Khan

Текст песни "Miike Snow — Genghis Khan"

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

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

And the lights, they glow
Like I just lost the World War
And the scene slips away
To the evenness I fake
It's a cheat somewhere
'Cause I don't really want you, girl
But you can't be free
'Cause I'm selfish, I'm obscene

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

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

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

It is believed that Genghis Khan was very possessive, and it is widely known that his multiple partners (he had around 6000 wives and 3000 children - these are, of course, rough estimates, we will never know for sure) were his and only his and he punished severely whoever dared to try and/or succeed to have a relationship with any one of his wives (I don’t imagine he could keep track of all of them, but I have read that he had several favorites and those were very important to him).

So when the character in the video/song says he gets a little bit Genghis Khan, he means he gets very jealous and wants to keep the other person for himself and only for himself.
