Black Cat Lyrics
Close up camera one
The hero sings in this scene
The boy that gets the girl gets to go home where they get married
But stop the tape,
The sunset still looks fake to me
The hero looks like he can't breathe
The damsel just left everything
You're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
And you're gonna burn the city down right now
Whoa whoa
You're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
And you're gonna burn the city down right now
Whoa whoa
Oh close up camera two
'Cause the hero dies in this scene
Your inspiration is the loss of absolutely everything
And flashback on the girl
As we montage every memory
And we bleed out in the bathroom sink
And we fade out as the soundtrack sings:
You're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
And you're gonna burn the city down right now
Whoa whoa
You're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
And you're gonna burn the city down right now
Whoa whoa
She said get your hands off of my star
It's not your part but all your fault
And this jealous actress has a habit of making things sound way too tragic
Get your hands off of my star
It's not your part but all your fault
And this jealous actress has a habit of making things sound way too tragic
And this jealous actress has a habit
Of making things sound way too tragic
Oh this jealous actress has a habit
Of making things sound way too tragic.
You're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
You're gonna burn the city down right now
Whoa whoa
You're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
And you're gonna burn the city down right now
Whoa whoa
You're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
And you're gonna burn the city down right now
Whoa whoa-ahh
And this jealous actress has a habit
Whoa
The hero sings in this scene
The boy that gets the girl gets to go home where they get married
But stop the tape,
The sunset still looks fake to me
The hero looks like he can't breathe
The damsel just left everything
And you're gonna burn the city down right now
Whoa whoa
You're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
And you're gonna burn the city down right now
Whoa whoa
'Cause the hero dies in this scene
Your inspiration is the loss of absolutely everything
And flashback on the girl
As we montage every memory
And we bleed out in the bathroom sink
And we fade out as the soundtrack sings:
And you're gonna burn the city down right now
Whoa whoa
You're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
And you're gonna burn the city down right now
Whoa whoa
It's not your part but all your fault
And this jealous actress has a habit of making things sound way too tragic
Get your hands off of my star
It's not your part but all your fault
And this jealous actress has a habit of making things sound way too tragic
Of making things sound way too tragic
Oh this jealous actress has a habit
Of making things sound way too tragic.
You're gonna burn the city down right now
Whoa whoa
And you're gonna burn the city down right now
Whoa whoa
You're like a black cat with a black back pack full of fireworks
And you're gonna burn the city down right now
Whoa whoa-ahh
Whoa

This is just my opinion but I think it means that he was with a girl and she was smothering him "the hero looks like he cant breath". He's the hero and she's the damsel. Shes bad luck as she threw away everything that ever meant a thing to the relationship. She was too jealous and everytime she saw him with another girl or something she blew it out of proprotion. "This jealous actress has a habit of making things sound way too tragic." And maybe regards to fame and the girls that come with it is why she is jealous "get your hands off my star" and now she blames him for everything but really it was her imagination that got the best of the relationship.
I dont know just a thought
i think you are absoluty right! out of everyone elses comments on this song, yours is the one that makes the most sense with the song.

I think this is right, I also think that he compares to his life as being like a movie "the hero sings in this scene" and "get your hands off my star" is saying that the girl is jealous of the girls that are talking to him because she is with him and doesn't like the attention that he is getting. I think this anyway haha :D

good song thats the best translation ive heard yet its such a figurative song its hard to find the meaning.
good song thats the best translation ive heard yet its such a figurative song its hard to find the meaning.
he is the hero and in the first part of the first verse they are happy but then they get into a relationship and she changes and he cant breathe because she is being clingy and not letting him do anything, then the black cat part symbolizes that shes bad luck, then in the next part it says "the heroe dies in this scene" hes not her hero anymore because he wants out o the relationship and bleeding out in the bathroom sink and ading as the soundtrack plays or whatever symbolizing there relationship dying. and then in the last part of the song hes telling how shes jealous and blows everything out o proportion and she makes things sound way more tragic then they are .
In the second chorus it says "you?'e" not "you're" so it need to be changed.

Close up, camera one The hero sings in this scene The boy that gets the girl Gets to go home where they get married But stop the tape The sunset still looks fake to me The hero looks like he can't breathe The damsel just left everything (i think the boy gets the girl he dreamed of they get married and he was being stressed out by her changeing and she was being fake just to get him)
You're like a black cat With a black backpack full of fireworks And you're gonna burn the city down right now (x2)
(shes a sneaky girl ready to exploade at anytime and when she does its gonna ruin everything)
Oh, close up, camera two Cause the hero dies in this scene Your inspiration is the loss of absolutely everything And flashback on the girl As we montage every memory And we bleed out in the bathroom sink And we fade out as the soundtrack sings (she killed him and after she seems like the girl who lost it all and wants everyone to feel bad for her)
You're like a black cat With a black backpack full of fireworks And you're gonna burn the city down right now (x2)
She said, "Get your hands off of my star," "It's not your part, but all your fault." And this jealous actress has a habit Of making things sound way too tragic (x2) (shes jealous of everything and she blows everything out of perportion)
And this jealous actress has a habit Of making things sound way too tragic Oh, this jealous actress has a habit Of making things sound way too tragic
You're like a black cat With a black backpack full of fireworks And you're gonna burn the city down right now (x3)
And this jealous actress has a habit
it's a lot different sounding than the old stuff, but it's catchy, and quite amazing at that.
The sunset looks fake to me.
The sunset looks fake to me.
Means not true love probably.

And, the hero dies in this scene.

Probably the guy breaks up with the girl.

Good song overall.

verse 2:
*flashback on the girl as we montage every memory and we bleed out in the bathroom sink and we fade out as the soundtrack sings:
thanks for the correction!
i'm trying to figure out exactly what this song is about... it sounds pretty straight forward, but i'm pretty sure there's a deeper meaning that all this stuff is really just a metaphor for, ya know? what do you guys think?
I just recently heard and downloaded the song and I think that it's great, yeah it's different, but it's still Mayday. Can't wait until June to catch the new album.
they're still amazing.
he left after the album was finished, so i wouldnt really attribute a new sound to that. its just new. different producers, etc.
