Kublai Khan - The Hammer (Official Music Video)

You will never Cease to seek validation Desperation grows Lower than my lowest lows Trapped inside Where I hide You will never know You will never ever know Bitch Panic sets in As I envision the abyss I've crept in Don't come back here Turn away knowing none can go near Memorize this Strict warning from a fucking bastard Misery lives And she will hunt you till it's all that makes sense Another day, my friend Into the mirror I descend Reenact these reactions Duplicate the appearance of passion Act up as a weapon of distraction When deep down my nerves strike up like matches And I'll never leave this State of mind. I've tried. It's useless. It's useless I remain afflicted Forever suspicious Of anyone that listens Knowing well I'm nothing worth fixing My tongue is a shovel It dug deep. Bringing you to my level Another day, my friend Another day I must suffer to pretend That this shit doesn't kill me That I'm fine and no lover to misery My own friends don't visit me I know why. No one Ever wants my company It's all there My mirror Medusa, my master My secret. My slave. My captor From birth through death and forever I won't let you walk away yet I take your steps as a fucking threat My warning is a fucking threat

This is some of the most genuinely angry and aggressive sounding vocals I've ever heard. He's part growling/screaming and barking. Like he sprays spit and disdain with every word. I love it.

[Alex-zzow]

“I won’t let you walk away yet. I take your steps as a fucking threat” still gives me chills

[Massivecarcrash]

This dude sounds like he's calling depression out to a fist fight.

[thehareandshroom]

My 20 yr old son just walked in and said, “Mom, what was that song you were listening to the other day”. Proud as hell, I just turned my son into a Kublai Khan fan. Told him to go lift to this today.

[TheTrillWizard]

This song makes me want to fight my boss in a Chili's parking lot

This is literally USDA certified, farm to table, organic BEEF.

"If you can relate to this music, it’s genuinely therapeutic. Makes it to where you don’t have to explain to yourself certain feeling. You can just rage them out, in a positive non harmful way".

[itsmedante.]

Ahhh yes... my favourite soothing, lofi, chill beats to study to.

[usedjoe]

0:28 That double chest pound fucking slaps

[jakobblackwelder]

I cannot believe no one has said anything about the lyrics yet. This shit is angry but really deep too.

[nathanhimes]

Those who have never experienced depression or anxiety have no idea how truly blessed they are. They'll never know the amount of courage it takes for some just to walk outside to check the mail much less go to work everyday knowing everyone there can sense that there's something off about you. Each day the only thing going through your mind is making it to the end of that day and just dealing with tomorrow when it gets here. To know what it's like to fear the promise of tomorrow's sunrise more than you fear your own death.

My daughter is 11 months old and I play this music video every day on the big screen TV and every time the riff plays after "You will never know, you will never ever know", the biggest grin lights up on her face. Something about that riff even catches the ears enough of a tiny infant to make her smile. That's how amazing this band is. I will forever be a fan of Kublai Khan.

[redgxd]

The way he says threat at 2:40 is the gnarliest shit I've ever heard in my life

[matthewbell]

Used to play with these guys in north TX 2009-2010. Let em stay the night at my place after a show at The Door Plano. Really cool guys, just don’t let Matt take a dump at your house. Used a full roll of TP the next morning and left it looking like he tried to make mashed potatoes in my toilet and didn’t realize it til we waved em off like grandparents do at the end of the driveway. Worst clean up of my life. Good to see em blow up like they blow up porcelain, though. Cheers, y’all, much deserved.

You will never
Cease to seek validation
Desperation grows
Lower than my lowest lows
Trapped inside
Where I hide
You will never know
You will never ever know, Bitch

Panic sets in
As I envision the abyss I've crept in
Don't come back here
Turn away knowing none can go near
Memorize this
Strict warning from a fucking bastard
Misery lives
And she will hunt you till it's all that makes sense

Another day, my friend
Into the mirror I descend
Reenact these reactions
Duplicate the appearance of passion
Act up as a weapon of distraction
When deep down my nerves strike up like matches
And I'll never leave this state of mind
I've tried, it's useless, it's useless
I remain afflicted
Forever suspicious
Of anyone that listens
Knowing well I'm nothing worth fixing
My tongue is a shovel
It dug deep
Bringing you to my level
Another day, my friend
Another day I must suffer to pretend
That this shit doesn't kill me
That I'm fine and no lover to misery
My own friends don't visit me
I know why no one ever wants my company
It's all there
My mirror Medusa, my master
My secret, my slave, my captor
From birth through death and forever
I won't let you walk away yet
I take your steps as a fucking threat
My warning is a fucking threat

[saintpoli]

I just love that the vocalist fucking goes for it and feels the music and the drummer is just chilling and dishing out crisp beats.

[dodsbringaren]

This vocal style has grown on me so much over the years, just pure fucking assault in sound form.

[trevorprinz]

The bassist Eric is an apprentice at the tattoo shop I go to. Found out about the band from that and I'm happy I did shit is Eric is a cool dude too

[obeseclown]

For any wrestling fans, dude sounds just like ultimate warrior I absolutely love it.

[happyhippie]

i listen to this when i walk with my turtle
