| Biffy Clyro – A Girl and His Cat Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think people are reading far too much into the title of this stunning song, and ignoring the lyrical content. Simon has explained previously that the song's title and formative stages were inspired by a novel by Mark Z. Danielewski about a 12-year-old girl who finds a kitten. Danielewski is a favorite author of Simon Neil and Biffy Clyro's previous album Only Revolutions was also titled after one of his novels. Simon Neil told NME: "I just thought 'A Girl And His Cat' as a title was HILARIOUS" I think deep down though the lyrics of the song relate to the feelings of confusion after a break up of relations (not particularly a break up or divorce) or feelings after having invested so much in someone but neglecting them somewhat and maybe having physically moved in with someone and it not been all it was meant to be... It's almost as if the first verse is looking at what someone has said or criticised, maybe "you don't have fun" and it's like yeah well I guess that's my prerogative. Chorus could relate to how people might say "yeah well it's never going to work with you" and the feelings of being well yeah you may say that but nothing ventured etc... especially with adding the violent twist to that... |
