Catch
KOSHEEN/NAMATRIA/PARFENOV Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You create misery
Have your cake and eat it
Take your place in history
And pray we don't repeat it
Call it faith,
call it off
Don't call me later
Lay your head in your bed
It's just how they made it
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm coming
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way start running
I'm gonna catch you
It's your day believe it
It's your date with destiny
It's too late to leave it
After all it's your
it's your party
Call it luck, call it faith,
call me beautiful to my face
Call it out to my surprise
It's just how they made it
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm coming
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way start running
I'm gonna catch you
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm coming
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way start running
I'm gonna catch you
Catch you
Catch you
The lyrics to "Catch" by Kosheen/Relanium seem to be about pursuing someone who has caused misery, created a destructive legacy, and is now trying to distance themselves from the consequences. The opening lines, "You create misery, Have your cake and eat it, Take your place in history, And pray we don't repeat it," suggest that this person has acted selfishly and recklessly and is now trying to avoid accountability. The singer warns them not to call later, indicating a desire to cut ties, but still feels compelled to catch them in some way.
The chorus, with its repetition of the phrase "Out of my way, I'm running, I'm gonna catch you if I can," reinforces the theme of pursuit. The singer seems determined to catch this person, perhaps to hold them accountable, or perhaps because they feel a connection that they can't quite let go of. The lyrics also suggest that this person is somehow special or important, with references to fate, destiny, and a party that is "yours." However, the singer remains somewhat ambiguous about their own motivations and feelings, leaving the interpretation of the song open to the listener.
Ultimately, the lyrics of "Catch" are cryptic and open to interpretation, but they capture a sense of urgency and determination in the face of difficult circumstances. They could be read as a plea to an elusive lover, a warning to a corrupt politician, or any number of other scenarios. What is clear is that the song evokes a powerful sense of longing and pursuit, with a hint of danger and excitement.
