Catfight
The Crash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had a cat fight, up an alley
But you've got moonlight in your pocket
For the big black night
So don't worrt. There are miracles
Don't hurry, you've got time to end this tragedy
So don't worry 'cause there's love around
Like your friends do, all your brothers
And if only I could reach you
But we're all adults here
So don't worry. There are miracles
Don't hurry, you've got time to end this tragedy
So don't worry 'cause there's love around
On a great night you'll be winning
On a great night you'll be singing
And you will sing in tune
Possible interpretation:
The Crash's song Catfight seems to revolve around a character who is feeling sad, lost, and lonely after a catfight up an alley. However, the lyrics suggest that this person has something valuable and uplifting in their pocket: moonlight, symbolizing hope and inspiration. The song's narrator tells the singer not to worry, because there are miracles and love around, and there's time to end this tragedy. The singer also expresses a wish to know the singer better, not just as a lover or friend, but also as a sibling or fellow adult who can help. The chorus repeats the message of hope and encouragement, suggesting that on a great night, the singer will win and sing in tune.
The song can be interpreted as a reminder that even when things seem dark and difficult, we still have inner resources and external support to help us cope and overcome. The moonlight in the pocket implies that the singer has some light within themselves that can guide them through the night. The encouragement to take time and not hurry suggests that healing and growth may take time and patience. The wish to know the singer better suggests that empathy and connection can also help us heal and feel less alone. The metaphor of a catfight may also suggest some gender politics or social conflict that the singer is dealing with, but the song doesn't specify this.
Overall, Catfight is a hopeful and empathetic song that encourages us to see the light in the dark and the love in the midst of the pain. By acknowledging our vulnerability and reaching out to others, we can find the courage and strength to sing in tune and win on the great night.
