Cat & Mouse
Garrett Gue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It goes down and around again
It's more than I can take
It's more than I can take
This feeling won't break
The moon followed in the dark
Looking for a friend
To tell me it's a shame, this way that I feel
Deafening noise won't quit
And I've spent twenty-some years getting used to it
I'm used to it
So if I look dizzy, will you lend me a steady hand
My sanity's at stake
My sanity's at stake
Afraid I might break
Will you take me far away so I can hear again
Will you save me from the circles I've been running in
I'm so tired of running
The deafening noise won't quit
And I've spent twenty-some years getting used to it
I'm so used to it
I'm used to it
Would you break through the noise today?
Would you calm the seas?
Would you break through the noise today, please?
The deafening noise won't quit
And I've spent twenty-some years getting used to it
The deafening noise won't quit
But I'm used to it
I'm used to it
The sun woke up it goes down and around again
It's more than I can take
In Garrett Gue's song "Cat & Mouse," the singer expresses feeling overwhelmed and fatigued by the constant noise and chaos of life. The repetition of the sun rising and setting represents the monotony and cyclical nature of life, which the singer finds to be too much to handle. They are searching for someone to confide in and offer solace, but ultimately realize that they must rescue themselves. The chorus repeats the idea of the deafening noise being a constant presence, and the singer acknowledging that they have become accustomed to it. However, they plea for someone to break through the noise and help them find peace and quiet.
The lyrics of this song speak to the feelings of many individuals who struggle to cope with the pressures of daily life.

I used to be just like her...
I would think that even a
single percent body fat was too much.
When you're this small and you eat your belly is gonna bloat up, so you always feel fat even as a walking skeleton.
What Eugenia does not understand is that fixing that one issue is easy, i just learned that i could just suck my gut in and hold it.
The fat can't stretch your skin if you don't let it. She just needs to add a small workout routine, even just jogging two or three times a week will Force your body to move the food you ate to the muscles you just burned.
If we can convince her to just burn the food that she eats you'll see tremendous results.
I just wish I could help this poor woman, if she's not eating for financial reasons then we can teach her to harvest water and grow free food.

@@jo-eo9ld i was aware she was going through it, but my god, i was not prepared for how she looks now.
she's done for. there is no recovery, she's already going to have neurological damage by now, to say nothing of her organs and bones.
if she got better today, she would at most scrape a few more years out.
she's taken several decades off her life expectancy already.
that's depressing as [REDACTED] man.

I hate that we're all sitting around watching this girl die and there's nothing anyone can do about
@pasc8699
Her mother is the only one that could do something about it
@Keeshette
@@pasc8699 I'm pretty sure we all think her mother is supporting and encouraging this. Granted it doesn't make any sense that her mother is on board with fast tracking her own daughters death. I'm shocked at how long I've been witnessing this horror.
@lauraborabee903
@@pasc8699she is the only one who can do something about it. She needs to come to terms with her illness… she is in denial and will die soon if she doesn’t realize…
@juliacastro8505
Even if her mother didnt suck, shes an adult, her mom would need a whole court order to have her commited against her will.
@Keeshette
@@juliacastro8505 but if that was your child, isn't that what you would do? I don't want to sound like I'm attacking you because I'm not, but her mom just doubles down and says that she's perfectly healthy and eats a normal diet. The only person that could seemingly intervene is just sitting back and watching and cheering her on

Nobody is mentioning how on the first story she was literally describing being assaulted by two men???

Everyone is mentioning it.
