Romance
Cat Cat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Suspend all talks of a future
The past is of no interest to me
It's the moment I hope to live to see
Heat and Romance
Your face I can't quite remember
Your name forgettably plain
To wonder whether to stay or to leave
I am slow and I'm dizzy
Those with sensitive skin stay in
Hot lovers' fume
Bad for my lungs
Heat and Romance
Your face not mine to remember
Your name Virginia Plain
Still a commodity so hard to obtain
To wonder whether to stay or to leave
I am slow and I'm dizzy
Those with sensitive skin stay in
Hot lovers' fume
Bad for my lungs
I'm resting
I'm resting
I'm resting
Through this
Cat Cat’s song “Romance” is a contemplation of the present moment while savoring romance and love in their purest form. In the first stanza, the artist expresses her desire to live for the moment and not worry about the past or future. She emphasizes her thoughts by asking to suspend discussions about the future, indicating that she wants to focus on the present. The chorus of the song, “Heat and Romance,” speaks about the heat of passion and the emotion of being in love – a feeling that she does not want to be fleeting.
In the second stanza, the artist mentions that she cannot recall the face of her lover or their name, but the idea of the person remains strong. This line signifies that the specific person is not important as long as the connection with the essence of the love remains strong. The artist then mentions that she is slow and dizzy, which might indicate that she is overwhelmed with emotions, and the environment is not helping.
Through the chorus, she speaks about how hot lovers’ fumes are not safe for her, indicating that romance can sometimes be too much, too fast, too overwhelming. The repetition of “I’m resting” in the end might symbolize the moment of relaxation and absorption in the moment of love. Overall, the song seems to suggest that the present moment of love and passion is important than the person themselves, and tuning into the present moment is the perfect escape from unnecessary chaos.
