Catlow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know it's gonna leave a scar
You're gonna bring the mad looks down
And I am, I am, I am, the one to show you
You're gonna make it right
You're gonna stain the bad things good

We're gonna take off
And never break up
And it won't end, won't end pretty

It's been a day and I forget
The things you fail to see
So what, I like to fight, it makes it harder
The city takes us in
And I'm the one that's going to end
I am, the one, the one, the one to show you

We're gonna take off
And never break up
And it won't end, won't end pretty

We're gonna take off




And never break up
And it won't end, won't end pretty

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Catlow's song "Number One" suggest a relationship that is both intense and volatile.

Despite this, the singer is determined to "show" their partner the right way to do things and believes that they can overcome any obstacles if they stick together. The repeated refrain of "We're gonna take off and never break up" suggests a desire for a thrilling and passionate relationship that will never grow stale, even if it doesn't end "pretty."


Overall, "Number One" is a song about embracing the intensity and messiness of a relationship, rather than shying away from it. The singer seems to revel in the conflict and chaos, viewing it as a way to make their connection with their partner even stronger. The song's heavy guitars and driving beat reinforce this message, creating a sense of urgency and intensity that perfectly complements the lyrics.
