Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mr.Kitty's song Neglect explore the effect of past trauma and neglect on an individual's soul. The song begins with a call to the singer's "dear girl" to share her "frail dreams". The use of "frail" implies that these dreams are vulnerable and easily breakable, emphasizing the delicate state of the singer's emotional and mental wellbeing. The song then progresses to discuss the singer's experiences with neglect, which have left her with a "withered soul". The phrase "forgiven negligence" suggests that this neglect was at one point acknowledged and potentially apologized for, but no amount of forgiveness can reverse the damage done to the singer's soul.


The chorus of the song drives home the idea that the singer's trauma and emotional state are now completely out of her control. She is resigned to the fact that "the only thing that [she] won't know" is courtesy - all other aspects of herself and her life have been irrevocably affected by the pain she has endured. The final line of the chorus, "my withered soul will never go", seems to imply a sense of hopelessness - her trauma will never fully disappear, and she may never be able to heal from it.


Overall, the lyrics of Neglect paint a bleak picture of someone who has been deeply scarred by neglect and trauma. The singer is resigned to the damage that has been done to her and seems to have come to terms with the fact that there may be no true healing for her soul.

Well I'm not used to talking about my life but now I feel I cannot stop
I saw a man and I thought he had my face I heard a preacher and I thought he had my voice
Up on a train since the moment I opened my eyes sometimes I'm sure I've seen this place again but deep in my Heart there's some courage and some hope and certainty that these rails will never end
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore

Well here I stand in the center of the scene with all the lights pointing right in my head
But in the dark there's a man that can't be seen holding a gun with all the power of his hand


The show is over and the applause pricks my ear the hall is empty and the man is getting bigger
He closes his eyes but serenity is gone he laughs at me and at once he pulls the trigger
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore

Now as I lay dead upon the floor I know my name will never be forgotten
I see that train getting lost inside the smoke and my body being fresh instead of rotten
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore
