To See
Human Kitten Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see the Celtics on the TV set at the bar
I see you're holding on hope now
Are you moving forward
Or are you moving back
Latching onto everything you'd ever thought the world lacked
But I gotta leave, I'm just picking up a delivery
Sorry, I gotta go, but I'm so glad hope is a thing that you hold




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Human Kitten's song "To See" depict a scene where the singer is observing the Celtics game on a television set in a bar while engaging in a conversation with someone who seems to be holding onto hope. The question arises of whether this person is progressing in life or regressing. The individual is described as clinging to everything they believed was lacking in the world. The singer acknowledges that they have to leave momentarily to fulfill a delivery, but they express gratitude that hope is something that the other person holds.


These lyrics hint at a broader theme of hope and its significance in navigating life's challenges. The Celtics game on the TV is symbolic of a distraction or a means of escape from the hardships of reality. The conversation seeks to understand whether hope is being utilized to move forward and create positive change or if it's merely an attachment to ideals that might hinder progress.


The line "I'm so glad hope is a thing that you hold" beautifully captures the recognition and appreciation for the belief in something better. It suggests that despite the singer's temporary departure, they find solace in knowing that the person they are speaking with has hope to cling onto in their absence.


Line by Line Meaning

I see the Celtics on the TV set at the bar
Observing the Boston Celtics playing on a television screen located in a bar


I see you're holding on hope now
Perceiving that you are currently clinging to optimism


Are you moving forward
Are you making progress in your journey


Or are you moving back
Or are you regressing and going in reverse


Latching onto everything you'd ever thought the world lacked
Grasping onto all the things you believed the world was missing


But I gotta leave, I'm just picking up a delivery
However, I must depart since I am solely retrieving a package


Sorry, I gotta go, but I'm so glad hope is a thing that you hold
Apologies, but I must depart, yet it brings me joy that you possess faith in the future
