Lyrics Catlike - Magnus

Catlike

Now an 808 is commonplace, it’s too cliché
We gotta sample grooves from outer space
We need a, no a is out of date
I want it soft, understated or pie-shaped
We need to step it up, we gotta find a gap
We need some melodies, you know that rockers just shouldn’t rap
Wait!
was that a glitch in your devotion
Or is that the sound of someone milking old emotions
What you gonna sing about, you seem so upbeat
You gonna talk about your living room, now you don’t wander around the
backstreet
Even silence has a frequency, but sound is your
Currency so show it some decency
Like the initiative
Not so provocative
Give what you gonna give
Don’t be so secretive
Don’t be too open
That’s thin ice!
Take what you gotta take
Take after take
Need a break from yourself
Take it easy, easy
It’s a token
So roll the dice
Now tell me what it is that you gonna do
I never really got what you’re gonna
You wander around you’re catlike
Attacking it like a cat might
And do you even know what you are standing for
Are you gonna hang around, or walking out the door
I’m guessing you know what that’s like
You’re running around, you’re catlike
Hey!
Look at you rock and rollers, like Bowie said
Soon you gonna get older
Look over your shoulder, like shedding skin
You got to let your heart rate win, your BPM
You do too much, you’re always the same
You’re out of time, you’re too generic, now you’re in the game
Wait!
was that another big idea/being washed
down the
Drain of another passing year
What you gonna sing about
I thought you’re a poet
And poets know no beats like a child and a sage,
They’re the janitors of time, keeping words in a safe.
Now crack the code for another passing phrase
Take what you gotta take
Take after take
Need a break from yourself
Take it easy, easy
It’s a token
So roll the dice
Now tell me what it is that you gonna do
I never really got what you’re gonna
You wander around you’re catlike
Attacking it like a cat might
And do you even know what you are standing for
Are you gonna hang around, or walking out the door
I’m guessing you know what that’s like
You’re running around, you’re catlike
Hey!
Now tell me what it is that you wanna say
You seem to change your mind every other day
There’s nothing around you can’t try
I can see it in your cat eyes
Didn’t I hear you purr that you like it here
Do you wanna change your fur and just disappear
I’m guessing you know what that’s like
You’re running around you’re catlike
The situation
Is not a fallacy
It only requires agency
Unfortunately reads like a diary
The middle eight announces the end
Around the thirrd minute, right, the message is sent
The last part beckons, like a homecoming friend
We salute you, after this, you may wander again
after this, you may wander again.
Now tell me what it is that you wanna say
You seem to change your mind every other day
There’s nothing around you can’t try
I can see it in your cat eyes
Didn’t I hear you purr that you like it here
Do you wanna change your fur and just disappear
I’m guessing you know what that’s like
You’re running around you’re catlike
