The Cats In Your House
Kiss Kiss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kill the cats in your house
To save the mouse
Satellites told you now
They care less about you now
Tear flesh from skin
Like a sick painting

Kill the cats in your house
To save the mouse as he wakes to life
They care less about you now





Tear flesh from skin
Like a sick painting

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kiss Kiss's song The Cats In Your House seems to be a metaphorical representation of the concept of power and control. The first line, "Kill the cats in your house to save the mouse," can be interpreted as an allegory for a person in a position of power eliminating any potential threats to maintain their dominant position. The idea of "Satellites told you now" could be a reference to mass surveillance and the monitoring of the population by those in power. The line "They care less about you now" may be a commentary on how those in power tend to become detached from the realities of the common people.


The imagery of "tear flesh from skin like a sick painting" creates a vivid image of violence and brutality, suggesting that those in power will resort to extreme measures to maintain their dominance. The repetition of the line "Kill the cats in your house to save the mouse" reinforces the notion of eliminating any potential threats to maintain power.


Overall, the song suggests a critical perspective on power dynamics and how those in power may abuse their positions to maintain control at any cost.
