Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've carved my crash course straight through hell
I've broken bones, I've had my spills

Those feline eyes are all I see
It fuels my cyclone heart so
Keep it coming

The lyrics of "Nine Lives" by Midnight Juggernauts appear to be a reflection on the experiences of the individual who speaks them. The opening line "I've lived nine lives, I've lived them well" suggests that the individual has undergone multiple experiences in their life to shape who they are. They state that they have "carved [their] crash course straight through hell," implying that they have endured their fair share of trials and tribulations to achieve their current state. The line "I've broken bones, I've had my spills" adds to this point, showing that the individual has undergone physical pain to reach this point.
However, it seems that these experiences have made the individual stronger, as they state that it fuels their "cyclone heart." The repeated phrase "keep it coming" likely serves as a testament to their resilience; whatever challenges come their way, they will take in stride and face head-on. This determination is mirrored in the phrase "straight through the sun" repeated throughout the lyrics. It suggests that the individual is unafraid to take on obstacles headfirst, willing to endure pain and hardship to reach their goals.
The final verse shows that the individual feels most fulfilled when they have supportive people in their life, specifically, those who sing to them. They mention "feline eyes," implying that they prefer a certain kind of person in their life, but ultimately conclude that it is those who provide comfort and support that drive their "cyclone heart." Overall, the lyrics of "Nine Lives" express a sense of determination and resilience in the face of life's difficulties.

As I try to compare these guys to another sound, it's obvious that they have a sound all their own... and I'm a huge fan. I would pay big money to see them in concert.
