This Black Cat

from Grey Meadows by Jimmy Sky

about

'This Black Cat' is a simple song with little subtlety. The black cat is of course a metaphor for depression, a familiar carried around by an afflicted individual cursed with both illness and foresight. Absurd self-fulfilling prophecies perpetuate themselves throughout such an existence as romance comes crashing in like the end of the world. There is no in between for such a condition, the heart is torn out and offered whole or not at all.

lyrics

I wonder what you dream of
When the ivy climbs your bed
I know you go to the places I frequent
When I'm lost in my head

But there's a black cat in my arms
There's a black cat in my arms
And it's doing me too much harm
This black cat in my arms

Here I go
Another lifetime ends
Here I go
I give up my heart again
Here I go
Another lifetime ends
Here I go
I give my heart up again

I fear the future all along
Cause I'm never wrong in my predictions
I can't stand the idea of prophecy
There's no logic and there's no meaning

But there's a black cat in my arms
There's a black cat in my arms
And it's doing me too much harm
This black cat in my arms

Here I go
Another lifetime comes to an end
Here I go
I give up my heart again
Here I go
A lifetime ends
Here I go
I give my heart up again

Here I go
Another lifetime comes to an end
Here I go
I give up my heart again
Here I go
My life comes up to an end
Here I go
I give my heart up
I give my heart up
I give my heart up
Give my heart up
Again again again again
