【Tonbi】 Cat's Paw (English Cover)【Umber】

I interpreted this one as when you got anxiety at da clurb But it's okay, because at da clurb, we all fam Unless you are a little black cat. In which case I suppose you might not be fam at da clurb. You might be a pariah. Perchance. I've been really into Tonbi's music lately. Cat's Paw is merely one banger amongst a treasure trove. I'm not even making any money off this one, I just wanted to do it. That's how good he is. So go look at his other works! Another favorite of mine is Lament. Hachamecha Carnival is also very good, and was my introduction to him. I'm not sure how accurate these lyrics are, admittedly. Maybe I'm way off base, but I interpreted this song as craving love and attention while being anxious that you are being othered, whether or not you really are being othered. And also you are a little dancing cat. Either way, you are a little dancing cat. In a box. Schmoovin'.

Now you’re reaching out to me Falling for crocodile tears as they descend, I’m a sham, I’m a visionary liar ‘til the end Rumors and gossip always buzzing round and round What a shame— just a monologic sound You’re so very close to me, I can feel your body heat You’re a captured birdie in a cage I can’t quite reach Walking on a rumor street, a pariah, don’t you see? I just wanna feel your hand on me but My body’s M U T A N T My love for somebody was spirited away And my heart was devoured by that someone in a rage Who am I not allowed to make some art about? And again, I’m exiled, yeah I’m cursed, I have no doubt You’re so very close to me, I can feel your body heat You’re a captured birdie in a cage I can’t quite reach Walking on a rumor street, a pariah, don’t you see? I just wanna feel your hand on me but my body— No, there’s nothing left to see, no one reaching out for me I’m a selfish situation, so I’ll stubbornly proceed So slinking through the scene, think it’s time for me to leave This humiliating sound around me is so cold it chills me to the bone
