The Black Cat
A Breach on Heaven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pull now the trigger!
The light gleams through my room.
Pull now the trigger!
It's the right thing you gotta do.

I take the pills left there on the shore (The white shore! )
They make me sweet they make me sure (Of your trick! )
It's fake what you take better look further from what you are now.

So tell me what's going on tonight,
Why I feel so observed?

I fill my mind witch cathy tunes (CDE! )
They make me swing they make me cool (More than you! )
It's fake what you take better look further from what you are now.

The cat said to me "I told you, I told you man!
You can't own me you cannot wear those big bad boots
I was your poet you'll be my paper-cover,
By now I'll take back all the poems you've stolen from me".

He teases me like a child
But he doesn't know what I still have got for him.

So tell me what's going wrong tonight
I'm watching my back!
I feel obsessed with being the best
But now you want it back.

The cat said to me "I told you, I told you man!
You can't own me you cannot wear those big bad boots
I was your poet you'll be my paper-cover,
By now I'll take back all the poems you've stolen from me".

The cat said to me "I told you, I told you man!
You can't own me you cannot wear those big bad boots




I was your poet you'll be my paper-cover,
By now I'll take back all the poems you've stolen from me".

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "The Black Cat" by A Breach on Heaven explore the themes of power dynamics and control in a relationship. The opening lines "Pull now the trigger! The light gleams through my room. Pull now the trigger! It's the right thing you gotta do." establish a sense of urgency and a desire to take action. The singer seeks to assert themselves and take control, but the lyrics suggest that they feel observed and pressured. The pills they take are meant to make them feel more confident and certain, but it is clear that they are not comfortable with the situation they find themselves in.


The lyrics of the verse ("So tell me what's going on tonight, Why I feel so observed? I fill my mind with catchy tunes, They make me swing they make me cool.") suggest that the singer is trying to distract themselves from their problems by focusing on something else - in this case, music. However, this distraction does not alleviate their anxieties or solve the underlying issues in their relationship. The chorus ("The cat said to me 'I told you, I told you man! You can't own me you cannot wear those big bad boots. I was your poet you'll be my paper-cover, By now I'll take back all the poems you've stolen from me'.") is a metaphor for the power dynamic between the singer and their partner. The cat represents the partner, who is asserting their dominance and claiming back what they perceive to be their own.


Overall, the lyrics of "The Black Cat" explore the idea of control and power in relationships. The singer seeks to assert themselves and take control, but ultimately realizes that they cannot control their partner or the situation they find themselves in.
