meow (club mix) by Meet The Hansens (2024)

I walked through the door with you
The air was cold
But something about it felt like home somehow
And I, left my yarn there at your owner's house
And you've still got it in your litter box even now
Oh, your sweet catsposition
And my wide-eyed gaze
We're meowing in the bathroom, getting lost in the bathroom

Toilet paper falling down like pieces into place
And I can picture it after all these days
And I know it's long gone and that magic's not here no more
And I might be okay but I'm not feline at all
'Cause there we are again on our little cat feet
You almost fell off the stairs 'cause you were lookin' over at me
Wind in my fur, I was thurr
I remember it all too meow
Photo album on the counter
Your tail was curling up
You used to be a little kitten with your head stuck in a plastic cup
And your owner's telling stories 'bout you at the vet last year
You told me 'bout your past thinking your future was me
And I know it's long gone and there was nothing else I could do
And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to
'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
We're dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
Down the stairs, I was there
I remember it all too meow, yeah
And maybe we got lost in adoption
Maybe I asked for too much
But maybe my toys were a masterpiece 'til you tore them all up
Running scared, I was there
I remember it all too meow
And you call me up again just to bite me like a rat
So casually cruel in the name of being a cat
I'm a crumpled up piece of toilet paper lying here
'Cause I remember it all, all, all
Too meow
Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it
I'd like to be my old self again
But I'm still trying to find it
After cat shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Now you mail back my and I bug my owners alone
But you keep my old yarn from that very first week
'Cause it reminds you of kittens
And it smells like pee
You can't get rid of it
'Cause you remember it all too meow, yeah
'Cause there we are again when I loved you so
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well
Wind in my fur, you were thurr, you remember it all

Down the sturrs, you were thurr, you remember it all
It was purr, I was thurr, I remember it all too meow

In the song "Meow" by Meet the Hansens, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of a nostalgic and bittersweet look back at a past relationship through the lens of a cat metaphor. The singer reminisces about walking into a familiar space with their partner and feeling a sense of comfort and belonging. The mention of leaving yarn at the partner's house and seeing it in the litter box symbolizes the remnants of their shared past still lingering despite time passing.

The lyrics delve into moments of intimacy and shared experiences between the singer and their partner, portrayed as cats engaging in playful activities like meowing in the bathroom and dancing around the kitchen. The imagery of toilet paper falling into place and the cat-like behavior further emphasize the closeness and affection they once shared.

As the song progresses, there is a shift in the tone as the singer reflects on the loss of magic and the realization that the relationship is no longer the same. The references to past memories and moments of vulnerability, such as the partner almost falling off the stairs, highlight the complexities of love and how it can turn from playful to hurtful.

The lyrics touch on themes of longing, heartbreak, and acceptance as the singer grapples with the aftermath of a failed relationship. The mention of the partner biting like a rat and being casually cruel underscores the pain and betrayal felt by the singer. Despite the heartache, there is a sense of holding onto the memories, represented by the old yarn that symbolizes the unshakeable connection between the two, even if it is stained with unpleasant reminders.

The song concludes with a sense of longing for the past and a desire to reclaim what was lost. The repeated refrain of "I remember it all too well" emphasizes the lasting impact of the relationship and how the memories continue to linger. The nostalgic tone and vivid imagery of shared moments as cats reflect a deep emotional journey of love, loss, and ultimately, acceptance.

I walked through the door with you
I entered a new phase of my life together with you by my side.

The air was cold
The surroundings felt brisk and unwelcoming.

But something about it felt like home somehow
Despite the chill, the experience had a comforting sense of familiarity.

And I, left my yarn there at your owner's house
I inadvertently left my personal belongings or memories at your place.

And you've still got it in your litter box even now
You continue to hold onto remnants of our past, even in the most trivial places.

Oh, your sweet catsposition
Oh, your adorable demeanor and mannerisms.

And my wide-eyed gaze
I looked at you with wonder and amazement.

We're meowing in the bathroom, getting lost in the bathroom
We're communicating in playful ways, losing ourselves in this intimate moment.

Toilet paper falling down like pieces into place
The chaos around us feels oddly organized, as if everything is coming together.

And I can picture it after all these days
I can still vividly recall this memory, even after time has passed.

And I know it's long gone and that magic's not here no more
I understand that those special moments have faded away and are no longer present.

And I might be okay but I'm not feline at all
I may seem fine on the surface, but inside I feel distant and unwell.

'Cause there we are again on our little cat feet
Once more, we find ourselves in a familiar scenario, moving quietly.

You almost fell off the stairs 'cause you were lookin' over at me
You were so distracted by my presence that you lost your balance.

Wind in my fur, I was thurr
I felt alive and carefree, fully present in that moment.

I remember it all too meow
My memories of all these moments are painfully clear to me.

Photo album on the counter
Visual memories captured in photographs remind us of our past.

Your tail was curling up
You were expressing happiness and excitement.

You used to be a little kitten with your head stuck in a plastic cup
You have a playful and innocent side, filled with curiosity.

And your owner's telling stories 'bout you at the vet last year
Your past experiences, especially significant ones, are still shared and cherished.

You told me 'bout your past thinking your future was me
You shared your history with the hope that I would play a role in your future.

And I know it's long gone and there was nothing else I could do
I recognize that those moments are over, and I feel powerless to change that.

And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to
I manage to push thoughts of you away, only to lose sight of why that was necessary.

'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
We find ourselves once more, immersed in shared nocturnal moments.

We're dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
We are enjoying life’s simple pleasures together in a warm, inviting environment.

Down the stairs, I was there
In these fond memories, I was always present alongside you.

I remember it all too meow, yeah
These moments are etched in my mind with great clarity.

And maybe we got lost in adoption
Perhaps we became disconnected in our journey of belonging and love.

Maybe I asked for too much
I might have had expectations that were too high or unrealistic.

But maybe my toys were a masterpiece 'til you tore them all up
What I cherished and loved was vandalized or destroyed, changing its value.

Running scared, I was there
In moments of fear, I was still present amidst the chaos.

I remember it all too meow
I still hold onto those intense memories despite the pain.

And you call me up again just to bite me like a rat
You reach out to me in a hurtful way, causing emotional distress.

So casually cruel in the name of being a cat
You exhibit cruel behavior playfully, reflecting the unpredictable nature of connection.

I'm a crumpled up piece of toilet paper lying here
I feel discarded and worn out, barely holding myself together.

'Cause I remember it all, all, all
All those memories are vividly imprinted in my mind.

Too meow
Exclamation of nostalgia and longing intertwined with the essence of past joys.

Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it
Time feels stagnant, trapping me in a loop of memories and regret.

I'd like to be my old self again
I yearn to return to the way I used to feel before these experiences changed me.

But I'm still trying to find it
I'm actively searching for the pieces of my old self amid the turmoil.

After cat shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Reflecting on those playful and intimate times when we were deeply connected.

Now you mail back my and I bug my owners alone
Now, I feel isolated as the connections are severed and I’m back in solitude.

But you keep my old yarn from that very first week
You hold onto the tokens of our early days, a reminder of happier times.

‘Cause it reminds you of kittens
This item evokes memories of innocence and joy from our beginnings.

And it smells like pee
The past, while cherished, is marked with unpleasant memories.

You can't get rid of it
You find it difficult to let go of the past despite its flaws.

‘Cause you remember it all too meow, yeah
You carry the weight of these memories just as I do.

‘Cause there we are again when I loved you so
We find ourselves reminiscing about a time filled with deep affection.

Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
In the past, when everything felt genuine before the bond was compromised.

It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well
Those moments together were precious and unforgettable.

Wind in my fur, you were thurr, you remember it all
I felt alive beside you, and those experiences are still alive in your memory.

Down the sturrs, you were thurr, you remember it all
As we journeyed together, every little detail remains etched in your mind.

It was purr, I was thurr, I remember it all too meow
The connection we shared was beautiful, and it forever lingers in my heart.
