Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

名もなき猫は独りただそこで夢を見てる
僕らの存在をおびやかすことなんて知らない

Ah なんて気まぐれで不確かな現象の
中心で僕ら生きる

そう扉開けた瞬間にほら
確かな君が姿見せるのさ
その手に触れることできたら
君の存在をそして世界を信じられるよ

Ah だけど本当は僕ら自身が猫の見てる
夢の中の出来事かもしれない ねえそうでしょう?

Ah なんていたずらな確率の虜だろう
ここにいて そしていない

君を探し ここに来たよ
扉開けて 観測する

Ah その瞬間にたちまちほら
確かな君が笑顔見せるのさ




その手に触れることできたら
君の存在をそして世界を信じられるよ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of fhána's song "c.a.t." delve into the themes of uncertainty, existence, and the power of belief. The opening lines talk about a nameless cat who is alone and dreaming. This feline symbolizes the untamed and uninhibited nature of dreams, unaware of any threat posed by our presence as humans. It portrays the freedom and innocence found in the realm of dreams.


The chorus emphasizes the erratic and unpredictable nature of life, describing it as a phenomenon at the center of which we exist. It suggests that we navigate through the uncertainties and whims of life. The lyrics evoke a sense of uncertainty and question the stability of our existence.


However, the song takes a turn in the second paragraph. It says that although we may believe that it is the cat who is dreaming, in reality, it might be ourselves who are witnessing events within the cat's dream. This perspective challenges our perceptions of reality and invites us to consider the possibility that our experiences may be a part of something bigger, something that exists beyond our comprehension.


The third paragraph expresses a captivation with the playfulness and randomness of probability. It suggests that despite the fleeting and ephemeral nature of these probabilities, they have a hold over us. The lyrics acknowledge the paradoxical existence of being both present and absent in a certain space or moment.


The final verse shifts the focus to searching for someone, possibly the person addressed as "you" throughout the song. It speaks of opening doors and observing, indicating a pursuit to understand and find meaning in this world. The lyrics suggest that when that person is finally found, when their presence is acknowledged and their hand is touched, belief in their existence and the world itself becomes possible.


Overall, the lyrics of "c.a.t." explore the enigmatic and ever-changing nature of existence, hinting at the interconnectedness of dreams, reality, and belief. It encourages listeners to embrace the uncertainties, question their own perceptions, and find solace in the pursuit of understanding the mysteries of the world.
