LYRICS
To all the ladies working Iowa-80
Selling pussy to the chrome on the interstate
Living hard lives
Working long nights
Hit by every man you ever loved
Til your heart died
You’re my mother
You’re my sister
And a daughter tonight
For every bruise. And excuse
You tried but you couldn’t hide
For all the fear. Every tear.
Slowly burning your sight.
For every moment. In the light
I fucking see you tonight
To see heartbreak from my window
Such a sad state
I can’t
Stop to
Even help you
What the hell can I do?
say that’s just her life?
Turned out. Used up. and defiled?
Deep pain starts early in life
Every woman still once was a child
Who’s one story of millions
Swan song sung city to city to city
Your hurt hit closer to home
But what do you see?
Graves beneath the family tree of abuse
Fucking raped at age 4 on the floor of the chicken coop.
I saw her casket fucking covered in flies
A botched embalming job still smelled like somebody died.
For what?
Dead end path
Eyes up
For all the woman suffering so visibly
The runaways enslaved unwilling
Drug addiction
Dereliction
Dying from trauma induced conditions
But you must find your strength
I can't walk your life. Your history.
To see heartbreak from my window
One day this world might hear you
Sometimes you gotta let the rough end drag
Directed by Chris Klumpp
#KublaiKhanTX #SwanSong - เพลง
Matt and Scott sound like they're calling out misogyny for a fist fight, and I'm here for it
Every song they've made is calling something out to a fist fight and I can't fucking get enough of any of it
Fuck yes they are!! I love it
Honestly, I think they’re calling out prostitution and the things that poverty leads women to do more so than just misogyny. The tragedies that have come out of those industries are nothing to be dismissive of even though our culture pushes for it and encourages women to partake in it more than ever. It’s far from a glamorous life.
Matt's vocal chords are like viargra for my goosebumps
Literally can't contain myself. It's scary lol.
😆

You sir, have a way with words🤔😂
Sometimes you gotta let the rough end D R A G
God this shit is so hard. This band deserves just as much attention as Knocked loose, Code Orange or even Turnstile. Their groove and winning formula is addictive.
To be fair, it took them a few albums to find their formula. They didn't find that sound until Nomad IMO
@@dicknoseturdwaffle5305 I just find something about them so much catchier and groovier than other hardcore bands they came up with. Everything since BSAH hits different for me.
@@dicknoseturdwaffle5305 nah
Knocked loose are super overrated. Neck deep of hardcore......
tbh Kublai Khan are my favorite modern band in this genre. They groove hard.
Real men respect women. Massive ups to you Texas boys!!
Real people respect people
Texas men respect women. The rest are boys.
@@thyweebhubreal dogs bark at real dogs
Real women also respect men...

The only thing heavier than the riffs are the feels that come along with the lyrics.
Well.said
I’d like to wager that the intensity of the vocal delivery is potentially heavier than the lyrical feels
I agree completely, I singled out this track from the album precisely because of this inexplicable feeling that cannot be explained alone. in a word, there is sympathy, and guilt, anxiety and dirt ...especially when he talks about mu Windows .. And the reefs here every second are worth a million dollars
Couldn't agree more
2:37 “Sometimes you gotta let the rough end, DRAG.“ fuckin drops so heavy.
When he says draaaaaag... God damn
@Tyler Clark what’s cringe about it..? Seems pretty meat and potatoes
OMFG I found my people! When he says that line I just wanna start fucking moshing wherever I'm at!
💪
Honeycutt brings the gravity. His lyrics are like gutter gospel, talking about the raw human experience.
this comment rules!
“Guttural Gospel” that’s a fuckin banger is a pair of words.
Gutter Gospel is a new genre
Beautiful way to put it!
Yeah man, love the lyrics. Super dark and twisted and graphic, but very powerful❤️
"I FUCKIN SEE YOU TONIGHT, GOD. DAMN." Is one of the most satisfying things I've ever sang along with.
Kublai Khan TX delivering the rage and power we haven't seen since Walk by Pantera.
They remind me a bit of Pantera actually. It must be the vocal delivery and those Texas riffs
They are the Pantera of this generation. And I mean that as a compliment. Dime had those crushing Texas riffs and Phil had a brutal voice and had insane energy. I feel like Nolan & Matt carry that same chemistry. It's gotta be a Texas thing.
From a sonic perspective, absolutely. From a moral perspective, KKTX shits on Pantera. They were phenomenal musicians, but awful human beings. Kublai Khan are the fucking truth from their lyrics to their music inside and out
They're like Pantera without all the cowardice and racial hate
@@reesebobby1680I just recently got into knocked loose and KK. After Pantera broke up i kinda gave up on heavy music with the exception of system and some meshuga. I don't understand being heavy if there's no groove. Just blast beats and unintelligible screaming. The guys that try to sound like demons or something is just stupid. It's just a wall of noise with no structure. Demons don't play guitar in their spare time. It's all so cheesy. Kl and KK actually have some decent grooves. And yell and growl like pissed off humans. Not mask wearing stupidity. That's one of the things that made Pantera so great. No masks, make up or dumb shit, just in your face ass kicking music that you could actually bob your head to
*cries in the mosh pit*
But honestly this song is extremely powerful and heavy. (I did tear up) this band is always been on of the best. Keep it up
feel ya
I rarely get chills from songs nowadays, but goddamn.. I got chills
feel you on that , insane track
Holy shit...as a woman...thank you. Thats all i can say.
🤘🤘
@@steveotatooed Oh my god
🤘🏻
Here's another one from the 90s for you
th-cam.com/video/RMF3ZIizj8k/w-d-xo.html
@@antimatter2380 hey I just checked that sound out and it was fantastic, thank you for introducing it. Much love to you.
This is easily one of the most emotionally heavy hardcore songs I've ever heard
Thank you guys for having real lyrics and actually speaking intelligently on the subjects we sweep from our eyes. Remembering never would be proud of you boys. No beating dead horses here, y'all keep it hardcore and I love y'all for it. F yes
This is one of the first times I've seen someone talk about Remembering Never, glad to know I'm not the only one still listening to them
Remembering never !!!!!???? Throw fucking back. I think I went to high-school with some of them. The grenade in mouth tragedy is still one of my favorite songs. I can't believe people know of them. Siiiiiickkkkkkkkk af
Since we are there how about some into the moat !!!!!??
When I say I would feel safe in a room of men, these are the men.
track has a serious message, yeah the music is "heavy" and well put together with all the usual characteristics of this band. But the lyrics are absolutely startling. Huge respect for being able to write something as raw as this.
10/10 lyrics, a real message without being cheesy, makes the song so much heavier
God damn, the way he says "drag" in the last line just fucking makes the song, I know it sounds weird, but I have always fixated on very small, specific things that make a song the song it is, and that last line just hits so hard.
I am writing you now to let you know I do the same thing and the last “tech” in low tech, (new song; I’m 8 months in the future to your comment) made me feel that. Just a gem
@@wesleybelk6089hell yeh lowtech is fucking amazing. Idk how they keep doing it such a unique and original band. Truly nothing in comparison.
this band has so many unique qualities. the way the write breakdowns with sometimes only drums and bass, the closed hihat parts, Matts vocals and his inviting lyrics. Never drowning in tired cliches or hard to understand metaphors. KING BAND.
It's not really unique, it's classic. They're old school, which is why Vogel is the perfect addition.
Not me sobbing to a metal song at 7 am.
These guys take the rage of the unheard masses and distill it into absolutely ferocious music. Seriously one of my favorite modern bands around.
My daughter sent me here, this is *AMAZING*!!!! Can you imagine seeing this live?!?
It was definitely amazing to see them play this live.
i was in tears. it was so powerful to hear live
It’s been 24hrs and I can’t get over this song. It’s the first thing I thought about when I opened my eyes this morning.
Fuck man. When i was addicted and homeless, i was friends with so many prostitutes. They were my friends and i did everything i could for them, which mostly was giving them respect and treating them normal. Most of them are dead now. Thankful to be out of that life.
Didn’t click on this expecting to cry.
🤘🏼to anyone out there struggling currently, be strong. Keep going. ❤️
Edit: i just dropped my own music on my channel in the same heavy vein as these guys and bands like paleface and strangled. Would appreciate any listens 🙏🏼🤘🏼❤️. Thank you for all the love y’all
Hey man, I just wanna say congrats on making it out. It's tough out there on the streets and you lose a lot of people. I know how that can go. I was homeless for 3 years and a lot of the people I knew back then didn't make it. I just want to say, as someone else who made it out, Im proud of you. And I hope that life has been better to you since
@@FadedQuartz hey my friend, thank you for those kind words! Proud of you for making it out also! That’s a crazy existence. It has made me so thankful for the “smallest” of comforts in life. I woke up in a bed today, safe. Not dope sick! Roof over my head… life is amazing!!
All the best to you always 🤘🏼🙏🏼
much respect for treating those ladies how they should be, you’ve got my utmost respect, from another recovering addict.
@@cammills9204 all the best to you my friend 🙏🏼🤘🏼 thank you, and glad you’re doing better!
So in other words you were there pimp in a friendly way? I'm glad your also not homeless or on drugs
I really hope they play this song on the Knocked Loose Tour. This will be my fourth time seeing Kublai khan, they just hit so hard.
they opened with it
@@DopeMaster-uv9cz can confirm. KK stole the show for me once again for the SIXTH time.
Was at the knocked loose show in Iowa and KKTX stole the show for sure and loved they opened with this here.
dude that "sometimes you gotta let the rough end drag" part hits so incredibly fucking hard
You ain't lying. Right in the gut.
Same as “I take your steps as a fucking threat” in The Hammer
I pass i80 truck stop every now and then on the way to Chicago it’s cool being a trucker hearing this
given the government of texas, this is an extraordinarily powerful statement.
kublai khan has always been the realest. always will be.
I must be a pervert
@@noisepollution6761 im not sure what point youre trying to make but i dont entertain humiliation fetishes. seek approval from somebody else and consider offering them monetary compensation.
Wdym? Explain a bit more.
@@520angling5 texas, as does most of the USA has a history of white supremacist/american conservative christian politics and with that cimes american conservative christian laws. women couldnt even have their own bank accounts until the 1960’s, and our younger generations wonder why marriages used to last so long. as of recent, they passed one of the most invasive anti-abortion bills. as stated in the song, women are mothers, sisters, children. women are also human beings deserving of respect and civil liberties like the men that determine what women legaly can and cant do. one could argue that this song is a statement against the capitalist economic heirarchy at large and that there is no shame sex work while identifying the reasons one may engage in it or choose to not as well. i believe its telling that a government staffed by wealthy men who choose to restrict womens autonomy also view women so poorly when they aquire wealth thru the sex industry many other men are demanding and willing to pay for.
regardless of what women choose to do with their bodies, no matter the circumstances and even if you personally disagree with it, they are humans who deserve love, understanding and fellowship.
if this isnt what kublai khan were trying to say, then ill let them correct me. until then.
@@rarecandy3445 well considering Matt Honeycutt himself is a helluva lot more conservative then most hardcore frontman, I don’t think he’s exactly stating this only in the case of how “sexist” Texas is (even though it’s really not and that seems like a mislead fat left viewpoint). Most likely I think this song is about woman who have had nowhere else to go besides sex work, or being trafficked against their will. If anything, a more conservative government is against sex work/prostitution as there are more left leaning governments leaning to legalization of prostitution.
shit hits deep; made me emotional. Matt & Scott together is something we need more of in the future. Two of the most powerful vocalists and lyricists in hardcore. Thank you.
903 BABY ✊
Kublai Khan is head and shoulders above every other band when it comes to live energy. the way they get people to move is fucking insane and awesome
on repeat for last 24 hours!!!
I need more songs like this!! That talk about real shit happening
Gives me the goose skin.
Check out the band Idles. They arent as heavy but the song Mother sheds light on shit women go through that most men dont even think about
This band has always been there for me. A complete lesson of musicianship and developing what it is to be HEAVY.
Sitting here in tears. This song is so powerful.
Kublai Khan TX just made it to another level in music.
This is the hardcore I am here for. Lyrics that crush and make your bones break. Words filled with meaning and riffs that make your soul shake.
I don’t understand where people’s surprise at the lyrics are coming from. They’ve always been socially conscious.
I will say however, this is one of the heaviest lyrically speaking I’ve heard in sometime. And that’s cause there’s no metaphor or other meaning.
Its blunt real truth. Sickening. But needs to be said. Lizard Lots is no fucking joke.
For real, Kublai Khan has always been known for talking about social issues, I mean look at True Fear. Along with it not being wrapped in metaphors, they also take the guitars out in the verses and push Matt's up in the mix so you can clearly hear what him (and Scott) are saying. It's powerful
@@FadedQuartz hell straight from Ghost Pains; Matt’s waxing poetic death since his inception
Can we all reminisce the time matt cried out his father's name in ghost pains? Absolute chills
@@cirrusweaver1346 resonates with me so much
This is the only TH-cam ad I don't skip
The OG and the new kings. This may go down as one of the best hardcore songs ever.
This song is incredibly intense from front to back in every good way.
Just the way Matt says “TILL YOUR HEART DIED.” I can feel the rage in my skin. Phenomenal band. Keep it up boys 💪
THIS IS HARDCORE
My man’s mustache is fucking sick, envious of that haha. Song is fucking incredible as per usual from these dudes. Never fail to miss the mark with emotions. Really make you feel something when listening to their music. Can’t wait to hear the entire EP. 🤟🏼🤝
Matt is a majestic man 😌
One of the top 10 bands out there. Been at it for years and solid music is constantly put out. So happy to see these dudes get success.
I swear I have listened to this song at least 100 times. The music the lyrics everything about this song is amazing fucking amazing 🤘🖤
Terror is to Kublai Khan what The Warriors are to Knocked Loose. The torch is getting passed to the right hands
This song makes me feel seen thank you ❤ as a victim of SA
The lyrics bring this song to the next level. So deep and meaningful and powerful. Respect.
And thank you for a song about strong woman! We appreciet it, and we will be on your concerts!❤
A new song hasn't gripped me this tightly this quickly in a LONG time.
goddamn. literally felt this one in the gut.
i already knew and liked them, but using their platform to shine light on this subject while showing that they’re allies is the real king shit and got me oozing with even more respect for them.
goddamn love and respect, gents!
Terror and Kublai Khan? What a blessing on this Friday!
Man, they didn't beat around the bush. Def. commend you all for shedding light and attention to the issue at large. Man, the vocal/drum only parts are just so fire. I mean the whole song is insanely catchy, but those isolated parts are absolutely next level. I love it when you stumble upon a new band/song, and it just hits so hard.
this is kublai khan from sherman texas and i wanna thank them for making music since like 08. peace and love for eternity.
Dude this is so fucking real, goddamn proud to have yall here man. I love every word, painful as it is to read, keep it up and make a fool cry in the pit
Saw them last night... everything I'd ever hope it would be. I love this band so so so much
i returned here after binge watching all of these guys vids just to write that this is their Best VIDEO until now BY FAR.
My huge respect from italy.
Real man respect womens 🤘
The boys are back in town!!!!! That shit was hard af.
Song's gonna have dudes cryin' in the pit
Kublai Khan is that one band that everybody loves. Perfect❤
happy two year anniversary of Swan song. This is the best shit to come out in a decade , they are like Pantera the great southern trendkill
I never expected a metalcore band to go this hard in 2022. I was ready to give up and accept that metalcore is just pop now, but Kublai Khan had to release this banger.
This is hardcore bro, metalcore is pop now lmao.
@@520angling5 idk I’m still trying to wrap my head around Hardcore subgenres tbh. I just called them Metalcore because they’re heavier than traditional Hardcore Punk bands and they use metal riffs in their songs. Metalcore is weird because bands can pull ideas from any Metal subgenre and still be Metalcore as long as they still use some elements of Hardcore, so you end up with a wide range of different sounds and aesthetics. The best attempt I’ve seen to make sense of Metalcore is to use Metallic Hardcore, Melodic Metalcore, Mathcore, etc. as analogues to Old School Death Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Technical Death Metal, etc.
Matt and Scott together in a song, that already makes the song insane! Pure quality! Kublai Khan TX is amazing band!
this song changed my life.
this song is unfathomably good, the riffs, vocals, even down to the video and outro. So well done.
First time hearing this band and god damn... Everything about this hits hard.
Hearing this as a young woman makes me tear up, the lyrical content is brutal and heartbreaking and most importantly, true. Incredible work guys 🧡
This sets the bar high for metal this year
This is 1 of the deepest and hardest songs to come out in the last 20 years. We need more of this mindset in metal and hard-core
@Alex-pr4zy I've been apart of the hardcover scene since the early 90s and this definitely wasn't always the mindset but regardless it's fucking great to hear it in a song
@Alex-pr4zy there was hints but straight up lyrics, not like this song
Between the riffs, the pinch harmonics on the guitar, the sicks bass lines and riffs, and matts vocals this band in my opinion is untouched by many bands out there!
just saw them live shit was nuts. SHOUT OUT EMPIRE IN ALBANY NY!
Was at that show too, good to see a fellow albany goer here. Hope to see you at tonights show with terror and kublai!
@@colvinscorner Friday night went to the In This Moment concert so I'm worn out haha still have no voice
The only thing wrong with this song is that it can't be turned up louder.
Ain't that the truth
I love how it's a full-on collab and not just Vogel coming in for a verse or bridge
I'm breaking records on TH-cam listening to this song over and over
Holy shit. One of the most powerful songs I've heard in a hot minute. Chills. Literally. Horns up 🤘
🤘🏼banger. Scott’s vocals were such a good addition to this.
“Sometimes you gotta let the rough end drag.” Is such a heavy relatable lyric I think for everyone.
However, all the lyrics are so hard hitting in this, it’s insane.
Top tier music to start the year, and I’m loving it.
When he said eyes up 👀🦋
This song made me so emotional.
These guys need the recognition they deserve since CD 1...(this hit me hard) straight raw love it
wow this is jsut amazing and gave me the chills !!!! big ups
hardest song of all time
The reason this hits so hard is because of how deep the and important this message is. Its not just yelling about random vague stuff. Its extremely emotional and this message deserves this intensity.
Saw them both do this live most intense crowd
same. People were dying in that pit lol
@@jessenicoletta4160lmao I'd push people back into it 😂 like nah you choose to get in that mess now finish it
Matt sounds like a pitbull on steroids, i fucking love it!
My Mother’s Day anthem frfr
This perfectly reflects Iowa
Mannnn I learned a long time ago I REALLY prefer 2 vocalists when it comes to metal and shit. And this fucking helps solidify my opinion.
This hits Home so very close.. I suffer with PTSD FROM SEXUAL ASSAULT 🥺😭 I feel like I’m at my edge of giving up.. I’m glad I found this Band this song is on repeat all the time for me 😭
You’ll be alright. You got this. Sometimes you gotta let the rough end drag
I’m thankfully you’re still here.
Dont give up, you got this.
Crazy this song has such a powerful meaning and people will blow it off bc of how it sounds kublai khan has mastered making meaningful music sound so damn good and aggressive
Thank you.
this shit hits hard in all the right ways.
I get an old school bury your dead feel from this band. Love it
A shiny black car cruising through a cemetary never looked so bad ass
Excellent song!
Was listening to this on the road today. So heavy my car was reconized as a truck by the highway toll and charged me an extra amout to cross it !
This is what I mean when I say I'm a feminist
