Breathing
Was an occupation
And job descriptions a distraction

Katie's Conscious.

Radio rap is back for a reason.

Katie's Conscious

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Algernon Cadwallader's song Katie's Conscience are an intriguing beginning to a song that deals with introspection and self-reflection. The lines suggest that breathing is an essential aspect of living, almost akin to an occupation, while the idea of job descriptions is dismissed as a distraction. This could be interpreted as a call for people to focus on their breathing and inner selves rather than getting lost in the materialistic and capitalist aspects of life. The title of the song, Katie's Conscience, may suggest that the song is about a person named Katie who is grappling with their conscience, possibly in relation to their lifestyle or decisions they have made.


The line "Radio rap is back for a reason" could be interpreted as a commentary on modern music culture and the prevalence of commercialized and formulaic music styles. The phrase suggests that there is a resurgence of radio-friendly rap music, but also implies that there is a reason behind this, perhaps suggesting that this music is a reflection of the values and desires of society. The repetition of the phrase "Katie's conscious" throughout the song could be seen as a mantra or a way of refocusing one's attention on the inner self and conscience.
