it's about cats obvz

I know you’re just an animal, but when I look into your eyes
I wonder if there’s something there that we no longer recognise
I’ve heard there was a time when your kind would be venerated
but I don’t know if these hieroglyphics have been mistranslated

if I worship you then some would find that odd
but in ancient times they treated you like gods

now I’m not so sure
that we’re on the right path any more
let’s turn the tide
and get back to the time
when you were deified

I've seen you lose your shit at the mere sight of a pigeon
yet I believe in your divinity more than any religion
some school of early thought has been forgotten, now a mystery
written on papyrus scrolls that decomposed in ancient history

if I worship you then some would find that odd
but Egyptian kings would treat you like a god

now I’m not so sure
that we’re on the right path any more
let’s turn the tide
and get back to the time
when you were deified

it took me ages to write lyrics for this one, so while I was struggling I ended up adding more little layers like the "hey!" stuff and doubling the synth riff with nylon-string guitar, which was fun. I think it ended up being a little different from most of my stuff, I'm pleased with it.

This is cool, but it still feels like you're in 3rd gear. You're freewheeling, holding back, phoning it in. You can write these fun little indie bops in your sleep, and this is indeed a fun little indie bop which I enjoy, but the bands I've ranked above you felt like they put a lot more effort in so I wanted to reward them accordingly. This is however, another tune where the palindromic melody does actually feel like it adds something in those short synth breaks. I actually noticed it without trying. So yeah, challenge complete!
