"CATS"
Garage-band style rock with raw rehearsal energy — loose, loud, and intentionally messy. Sounds like a band jamming in a basement with amps turned up too high. Overdriven guitars, punchy live drums, imperfect timing, shouted vocals, and playful chaos. Punky, indie, and DIY with humor and self-awareness. Minimal polish, lots of attitude. Features a dramatic build-up to a sudden full stop, followed by a shouted one-word hook (“CATS”) before slamming back into the chorus. Fun, loud, dumb in the best way.

Lyrics
[Intro – Talking / Count-in]
Uh…
Yeah…
I didn’t know what to write so—
One, two, three, four—
[Verse 1]
I stared at the wall for an hour straight
Tried to write something deep, something great
Got a guitar, got a beat, got time
Got nothin’ in my head but a blank-ass mind
I thought about love, thought about pain
Thought about shouting into the rain
Then my brain just snapped like— screw all that
I looked at my notes and I wrote down: cats
[Pre-Chorus – Building, Messy]
Yeah I know it’s dumb
Yeah I know it’s flat
But this song exists
And it’s about—
[CHORUS – BIG, SHOUTY]
CATS
Walking on the counters
CATS
Knocking shit around
CATS
Staring at the ceiling
Like they know something we don’t know now
[Verse 2]
They don’t pay rent but they run the place
Judge you hard with a blank-ass face
Disappear all day, scream at night
Knock a glass off just to feel alive
I tried to make this metaphorical
Tried to make it deep and philosophical
But nah man, facts are facts
This is just a song about cats
[Build – Instruments Rise, Vocals Half-Spoken]
Maybe it’s about chaos
Maybe it’s about control
Maybe I just ran outta ideas
And let the nonsense take hold
(Drums drop out… guitars ringing…)
[FULL STOP – SILENCE]
…
CATS.
[Final Chorus – Faster, Louder, Unhinged]
CATS
Claws on the furniture
CATS
Eyes like they’ve seen hell
CATS
If this song makes no sense
Then it’s doing its job real well
[Outro – Laughing / Noise]
Yeah.
That’s it.
Song about cats.
