The Lost Song
The Cat Empire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've been searching in the night and I've been searching in the rain
I tried to find them, but they disappeared
They walked away they dressed in black they left my side and all I say
Is that I wasted time when I looked for them
For now I know that things gone past are never to be found again
No never never again
I had nine lives, but lost all of them
I had a plan, but never finished it
And I've been searching for the thought and I've been searching in a haze
I try all days to remember it
But now the blueprint in my mind has gone, my mind forgot the color of direction
And my eyes they see the hands that could've built
That could've constructed the empire in my mind
The empire I'll never find
I had a plan, but that was where it ended, ended
The lyrics of The Cat Empire's The Lost Song is a reflection on the nature of past experiences and how they can never be relived or recreated. The opening line of the song, “I had nine lives but I lost all of them,” is reminiscent of a cat, which has led many to believe that the song is about the fleeting nature of life. The singer laments about the things that he has lost, both concrete things like his nine lives as well as intangible things like the blueprint for his plan. He searches for them in the night and the rain, but to no avail.
The second verse further expands on the theme of loss and regret. The singer tries to remember the plan that he once had, but it has faded away from his mind. He talks about the hands that could have constructed the empire in his mind, but unfortunately, that empire will never be found. The lyrics convey the feeling of nostalgia and the realization that things that have gone past are never to be found again. The singer acknowledges the futility of looking for the lost things and instead chooses to move forward and pursue new things.

Войн без потерь не бывает, и иногда победа приносит столько потерь, что больше похоже на поражение. Война всегда непредсказуема — твой противник может стать твоим союзником, если у вас двоих появляются общие интересы. Больше всего от войны страдают невинные, которые оказались втянуты в сражение против своей воли. Война — это путь обмана. И порой обманутым оказываешься ты сам.
