Cat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you something

Have you seen her
One stray cat
She's not the same girl
Running with the pack

Running through the night
Broken glass in her way
One thing on her mind
Nothing left to say
Cat's eyes
On the highway
On the highway
On the highway

Nothing is for certain
No reason to stay
No reason to stay
?
She's gone away
She's gone away

Running through the night
Broken glass in her way
One thing on her mind
Nothing left to say
Lying on her side
Broken glass in her way
One thing on her mind
No reason to stay
(Cat's eyes)
No reason to stay

On the highway
On the highway




On the highway
On the highway

Overall Meaning

Cat Eye's song Cat Eye is a poignant narrative about a stray cat that has left her pack and is now running through the night with her eye on the highway. The song portrays a sense of emptiness and feeling of being lost, as the cat seems to be looking for something or someone, but nothing is certain. The use of broken glass is a metaphor for the obstacles that the cat has faced on her journey, and the path ahead seems to be unclear. The chorus of the song, "Cat's eyes, on the highway," is a powerful metaphor that captures the essence of the song. The cat's eyes, in this context, represent the search for direction and purpose, while the highway symbolizes the journey towards finding something meaningful in life.


The lyrics suggest that the cat is in a state of transition, longing for something that she cannot find amongst the pack. The words "nothing is for certain" suggests that the cat may not know where she is heading, but she is determined to keep moving forward. The ambiguity of the lyrics, "no reason to stay, she's gone away," further adds to the sense of confusion and uncertainty. Overall, the song is a beautiful representation of the struggles of finding one's true self, and the search for a place to belong.
