Cats
La Rocca Lyrics

The lyrics to La Rocca's song "Cats" are somewhat ambiguous and can be interpreted in a few different ways, but one common interpretation is that the song is about the idea of living a double life or hiding certain aspects of oneself from society. The lines "Did I make a little bit up / Did you turn away in doubt" suggest that the singer may have fabricated or exaggerated parts of their story, or that they feel like they're not being fully truthful with someone else. The idea of "eating the food that they left out" could be interpreted as taking advantage of opportunities that are presented to you, even if you know you shouldn't.

The lines "Only for our faces / We go beyond that, so far we' cats" suggest that the singer and whoever they're addressing are only putting on a certain face or persona for the benefit of others, but that they go further than that in their personal lives. The repetition of "Only for our faces" emphasizes the idea of this public-facing persona, while the repetition of "We go beyond that, so far we' cats" suggests that there's more going on behind closed doors that others aren't privy to.

The second verse reinforces this idea of living a double life, with lines like "Going round all judgement bars / Making love in cars" and "Taking odds I've never heard / Breaking almost every word." These behaviors could be seen as reckless or frowned upon by society, but the singer and their partner (assuming there is one) don't care about that because they're living their lives on their own terms. The final line, "Did you march against the war / Nail a cross upon your door / Oh I did," could be read as a commentary on the idea of performing activism or appearing to be a certain type of person in public, while not necessarily fully believing in or committing to those actions in private.
