Cat
T.A.O. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did they forget it was only last week when they needed us there
Even though I am an alleycat Hiding a lion’s roar
I’ll keep dragging my tail along Back to your door
Well their hair, clothes and make-up are in perfect congress It’s a stunning affair
Me and John we make their drinks at the bar And we sit there and stare
And we drive them home and we lock the doors
And we draw down the shades
Even though I am an alleycat Hiding a lion’s roar
I’ll keep dragging my tail along
Back to your door
In the song "Cat," T.A.O. provides a commentary on the societal pressure around beauty and appearances. The lyrics suggest that the weight of a girl is only measured by the amount of diamonds and pearls she possesses. Furthermore, the song highlights the idea that people try hard to fit into society's mold of how they should look and act, even if it means giving up their true selves. The line, "Are we such fools for thinking we could stay out of their hair," suggests that it's difficult to escape society's expectations.
The second verse focuses on two women who seem to have everything put together - perfect hair, clothes, and make-up. Me and John, the singer and a friend, are awestruck by their beauty and serve them drinks at the bar. However, when we drive them home, we are reminded of the harsh reality that exists underneath their facade. We lock the doors and draw down the shades, implying that we've entered a hidden world that is not meant for outsiders.
Overall, the song "Cat" presents a thought-provoking commentary on the societal pressure around beauty and appearances. It suggests that people try hard to fit into society's mold, even if it means giving up their true selves. At its core, the song encourages listeners to embrace their individuality and not to conform to societal expectations.
Line by Line Meaning
The weight of this girl is measured in ounces of diamonds and pearls
The value of this girl is solely based on the expensive material possessions that she owns
When she leaves the room I can’t help but notice there’s emptiness there
The girl seems to be superficial and does not bring value to a room when she leaves
Are we such fools for thinking we could stay out of their hair
We were naive to believe that we could avoid getting involved in their drama
Did they forget it was only last week when they needed us there
They were quick to forget that they relied on us for assistance just last week
Even though I am an alleycat Hiding a lion’s roar
Despite appearing weak, I am actually strong and fierce
I’ll keep dragging my tail along Back to your door
I will continue to pursue and return to the woman that I desire
Well their hair, clothes and make-up are in perfect congress It’s a stunning affair
The women coordinate their appearance flawlessly and it is impressive
Me and John we make their drinks at the bar And we sit there and stare
We serve the women drinks and watch them interact with one another
As the candlelight flickers, the two women snicker At a joke that one of them had made
The women laugh quietly together while enjoying the ambiance of the candlelit room
And we drive them home and we lock the doors And we draw down the shades
We escort the women home and take precautions to ensure their safety and privacy
