Black cat on a ladder and I'm walking underneath Collecting four leaf clovers, avoiding cracks in the street I went to see a doctor, tell me what you see She sent me to a witch doctor, down in new Orleans I found my love in a circle of salt I left my love in an outline of chalk Seven on my soda, she put a hex on my Toyota Tried to catch the glass, but I wasn't that fast Arriving at the rainbow, as the rainbow past Holding onto horseshoes, as the airbags blast I found my love in a circle of salt I left my love in an outline of chalk She makes rainbows with shotgun shells She drinks whiskey for her mental health
Indie rock
English
The song conveys a sense of whimsical charm mixed with a darker undercurrent, reflecting themes of love, superstition, and the complexity of human emotions. There's a playful yet melancholic vibe throughout, suggesting a nostalgic longing.
This song could be ideal for indie film soundtracks, particularly in scenes where characters are exploring themes of love, fate, and serendipity, or in moments that blend whimsy with a hint of the supernatural.
The lyrics utilize vivid imagery and symbolism—such as the black cat, four-leaf clovers, and circles of salt—creating a narrative that plays on the themes of luck and love. The use of metaphors and contrasting elements (like love and hexes) enriches the lyrical depth, while the indie rock genre allows for an eclectic mix of instrumentation that can enhance the song's emotional resonance.
Staring into the glassy one eyed-in-one-eyded-out dynamic of my dying best friend, I feel the need to warn you. Do not become the best at working hard and partying; the same with never doing heroine, these are much too rewarding. This my addiction. I can give them sixteen hours, but it is all about the in-between. Although I was dead six months ago, I' have gotten better', only to see the best friend decline. Soul searching to correct this course, seems lightyears away. I feel the need to share this. Do not work hard and party... but if you do- I'll pray for your family. I'll pray for your sanity. The illness you suppress. I'll tell your family you loved them. You're trying your best. If only, it were good enough. But you didn't stop. Just trying to be good enough
You’re worlds Away but your on my mind Broke my own heart Saying goodbye Times meant to heal But the memories stay Is this what fate had in mind The very first day I see you in crowds I still hear ur voice Ask me again and I’ll change my course Run for the hills where the rivers run free cause it’s just you and me yea just you that’s all we need I’m looking at the sky and your looking at me cause we’ve got all we need
