She grew up in a forest in the Danish countryside, where she would always find herself secretly drawn towards an old beat up piano. Now later in life her ongoing love for vintage and analog keyboards shines through in her music, infused with an earthy feel and a rare talent for symbiotic relationship between electric and organic elements.
In 2008 CALLmeKAT released the critically acclaimed ‘I’m In A Polaroid Where Are You?’ (EP) and ‘Fall Down’, through her own Pixiebooth label.
CALLmeKAT’s psych-pop venture was followed up with the 2012-release of the haunting sophomore full-length ‘Where The River Turns Black’ recorded in the beautiful Catskill Mountains, in the state of New York and released throughout Continental Europe (Pixiebooth/Word&Sound/Playground), featuring drummer and producer Joe Magistro (Prophet Omega) and notable bass player Sara Lee (Gang Of Four, B 52’s), with guest appearances by pals from the road; Erika Spring (Au Revoir Simone) and Helgi Jonsson (Sigur Ros).

CALLmeKAT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm callin'
A guy like you
Should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm fallin'
There's no escape
I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You're dangerous
I'm lovin' it
Too high
Can't come down
Losin' my head
Spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?
With the taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic
I'm slippin' under
With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
It's gettin' late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my devil's cup
Slowly,
It's taking over me
Too high
Can't come down
It's in the air
And it's all around
Can you feel me now?
With the taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic
I'm slippin' under
With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Taste of you lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic
I'm slippin' under
With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
With the taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic
I'm slippin' under (toxic)
With the taste of the poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
The song “Toxic” by CALLmeKAT is a pop song about being dangerously in love with someone. The lyrics speak about the addictiveness of this person, like a drug that the singer can't resist. The song starts with the singer telling the guy that he is dangerous, and she is falling for him, with no escape. She needs him and wants more of him. The words "baby, can't you see" are a plea to the guy to notice her love but also can be interpreted like the caption over the singer's feelings toward the man. The singer cannot get enough of him, and she is intoxicated by his love.
The chorus “With the taste of your lips, I'm on a ride, You're toxic, I'm slipping under” expresses how the singer is so deeply in love that she is losing herself. She cannot get enough and is slowly being taken over by the love they share. The lyrics imply that she has tried to resist him, but it is too late, and she is already hooked on this toxic love. The song is about the inevitable pull of love, despite the dangers that might come with it.

I come here to listen to her version so that I can be fascinated every year. At least in my life, her songs are the best I can't even compare with others.
