Cat Eyes
A.C.T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The rain has fallen, too many times,
in silence sits the poet, forgotten are his rhymes.
There's no way you can see him coming,
he knows where to hide in the night he's the groom
and sorrow is his bride.
In the summer he'd see you passing by,
you were talking to the angels,
you would see them as they'd fly,
so you liked to hear the music,
those choirs of the night you'd be dancing with the angels,
under the moons clear light...

Cat eyes, where did you go?
Did you tell him so??
(You put a mark on his heart and you tattooed his soul.)
You made him forget, his purpose, his goal
and I don't know why but you'll surely know;
cat eyes, you will surely know.

You'd watch him from your great blue heaven,
you'd watch his every move, you'd hear the songs he'd be singing.
You could hear every line;
you'd call on our attention you'd say: "Once he was mine".
And now we're standing face to face
riding the sky in all our grace,
you know I'll be there,
I'll make you see I will stand by you all through eternity.

Cat eyes, where did you go?
Did you tell him so??
(You put a mark on his heart and you tattooed his soul.)
You made him forget, his purpose, his goal
and I don't know why but you'll surely know;
cat eyes, you will surely know.

(secret messages)

And now we're standing face to face
riding the sky in all our grace,
you know I'll be there,
I'll make you see I will stand by you all through eternity.

Cat eyes, where did you go?
Did you tell him so??
(You put a mark on his heart and you tattooed his soul.)
You made him forget, his purpose, his goal




and I don't know why but you'll surely know;
cat eyes, you will surely know...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Cat Eyes" convey a sense of melancholy and reflection. The first stanza describes a poet who has gone unnoticed, his talent wasted due to being forgotten. He hides in the shadows and embraces sorrow. The second stanza captures a nostalgic summer memory in which the singer recalls seeing angels and dancing amongst them under the moonlight. However, the focus then shifts to "cat eyes," who had an impact on the poet's life. "Cat eyes" seems to have had a significant impact on the poet, marking him with a deep emotional connection that he cannot forget, in a way that could be interpreted as positive or negative.


Throughout the song, "cat eyes" is referred to as a female or feminine presence that has had a lasting impact on the poet's life. The chorus of the song repeats the question: "Cat eyes, where did you go? Did you tell him so? (You put a mark on his heart and you tattooed his soul.) You made him forget, his purpose, his goal, and I don't know why but you'll surely know; cat eyes, you will surely know." The message is clear: "cat eyes," whatever and whoever she represents, has played a significant role in the poet's life.


Overall, "Cat Eyes" seems to be a reflection on the importance of those who have come and gone from our lives, the impact they have had on us, and the bittersweet memories that remain. The song suggests that these memories and marking experiences are what make life rich, but they can also be painful and come with the price of being marked and feeling somewhat lost without their presence.
