Catch
Allie X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you came knocking like a doctor
Gave me the pill to take away the poison
Erase the writing on the wall
You stuck a needle right into that vein
You let me take it like a soldier
And for a while I could ignore the pain
I'm paralyzed, my heart attacks
It seemed to me you are the one
Turns out you shut me up for fun
You got away with murder
Leave me at a loss for the words
Just wait until I catch my breath
Wait until I catch my breath
Yeah, but you thought you got away with murder
Leave me at a loss for the words
Just wait until I catch my breath
Wait until I catch my breath
I was devastated by the pain
But now I couldn't call the doctor
You gotta stop the forces in my brain
Gotta read the writing on the wall
It isn't easy getting in the vein
When you do it wrong
No one to take it, no one to take it
My hands are tied behind the back
I'm paralyzed, my heart attacks
I'm screaming, begging for the one
That won't just shoot me up for fun
You got away with murder
Leave me at a loss for the words
Just wait until I catch my breath
Wait until I catch my breath
Yeah, but you thought you got away with murder
Leave me at a loss for the words
Just wait until I catch my breath
Wait until I catch my breath
Wait until I catch my
Wait until I catch my
Wait until I catch my breath
Wait until I catch my
Wait until I catch my
Wait until I catch my breath
You leave me hanging out here for so long
When will I catch my breath
You leave me hanging out here for so long
When will I catch my breath
You got away with murder
Leave me at a loss for the words
Just wait until I catch my breath
Wait until I catch my breath
Yeah, but you thought you got away with murder
Leave me at a loss for the words
Just wait until I catch my breath
Wait until I catch my breath
Wait until I catch my
Wait until I catch my
Wait until I catch my breath
Wait until I catch my
Wait until I catch my
Wait until I catch my breath
The lyrics to Allie X's "Catch" seem to be about a toxic relationship that has taken a serious toll on the singer. The relationship involved some sort of addiction or dependence, and the other person served as a sort of enabler, giving the singer the "medicine" they craved. This medicine allowed them to ignore the pain, but at the same time left them paralyzed and with a racing heart.
It's clear that the other person knew what they were doing was wrong, as they "thought they got away with murder" by the end of the song. There is a sense of frustration and helplessness in the lyrics, as the singer feels trapped by their own addiction and the person who is enabling them.
The final lines suggest that the singer is attempting to break free from this toxic cycle and catch their breath, but it's unclear if they will be successful. Overall, the song paints a bleak picture of addiction and codependency, and the damage they can cause to individuals and relationships.
