Rhesus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the shadows around hold you tight
And the people you talk to always bring you down
If you’re begging to get understood
For always being in such a lonely mood
For trying hard, to be yourself at last
Then I’ll show you…
Black cat / white cat…I’ve got to show you now
If you’re killing yourself chasing off
That perfect face you always dreamed off
You once saw her at a party, it was in 1992
And if you’re begging to get satisfied
Just keep on thinking you are mad
You, you should be proud of it
You should be proud of it
Black cat / white cat…I’ve got to show you now
Black cat / white cat…I’ve got to show you how…
(I’ve got, I’ve got to show you how)
(I’ve got, I’ve got to show you how)
(I’ve got, I’ve got to show you how)
The lyrics of Rhesus's song "Black Cat / White Cat" speak to the struggles of feeling isolated and misunderstood. The opening lines suggest a sense of disillusionment, as if the color has drained from one's dreams and the shadows of negativity have taken hold. The people around the singer constantly bring them down, leaving them in a lonely mood. They long to be understood and accepted for who they truly are, but it seems like an ongoing battle.
The chorus, "Black cat / white cat," could be interpreted as a metaphor for duality or contrasting forces in life. The singer feels a sense of urgency to show something to someone, perhaps a lesson or a different perspective. It is as if the singer wants to break free from the negativity and show this person a different way of looking at things.
The second verse introduces a specific scenario where the singer describes someone chasing an idealized image of perfection. This person saw this "perfect face" at a party years ago, and it has since become an obsession. The singer encourages them to find satisfaction within themselves instead of constantly searching for external validation. The repetition of "You should be proud of it" emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and embracing one's uniqueness.
Overall, "Black Cat / White Cat" seems to convey a message of breaking free from societal expectations, finding inner strength, and embracing individuality. It encourages the listener to be proud of who they are and shows them that there is another way of approaching life.
Line by Line Meaning
If your dreams have all gone black & white
If your aspirations and desires have lost their color and vibrancy
And the shadows around hold you tight
And the darkness and negativity surrounding you are suffocating
And the people you talk to always bring you down
And the individuals you communicate with consistently bring you negativity and discouragement
If you’re begging to get understood
If you desperately crave to be truly understood
For always being in such a lonely mood
Because you constantly find yourself feeling lonely
For trying hard, to be yourself at last
For exerting great effort to finally be your authentic self
Then I’ll show you…
Then I will demonstrate to you...
If you’re killing yourself chasing off
If you are sacrificing your well-being and sanity by relentlessly pursuing
That perfect face you always dreamed off
That idealized image of beauty you have always fantasized about
You once saw her at a party, it was in 1992
You once caught a glimpse of her at a social gathering, it was during the year 1992
And if you’re begging to get satisfied
And if you are desperately seeking contentment and fulfillment
Just keep on thinking you are mad
Just continue believing that you are crazy
You, you should be proud of it
You, yes you, should take pride in it
Black cat / white cat…I’ve got to show you now
The contrast between opposites, I must reveal it to you immediately
Black cat / white cat…I’ve got to show you how…
The juxtaposition of the dark and the light, I must demonstrate the way...
(I’ve got, I’ve got to show you how)
(I must, I must demonstrate the way)
(I’ve got, I’ve got to show you how)
(I must, I must demonstrate the way)
(I’ve got, I’ve got to show you how)
(I must, I must demonstrate the way)
