The end of this song is basically “the risks I took were calculated, but MAN am I bad at math”

I can't believe Ferry predicted "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish"

[MezephelesArt]

Not sure if anyone else noticed, but I like how it's implied the protagonist burned through all her lives in less than three months- it's mentioned that it started on a winter morning, and that she was found in the snow after having lost her last life, indicating that it was still winter.

Edit: Did anyone saying "it could have been a year" pay attention to the song?

"Life's a feast of thrilling flavors"
Mmm, meow mix.

I like how the gradient color of the sky in the bg changes through the song. It starts blue (which on the stoplights seems to be swapped for where the green light would usually be), signaling the character seeing nothing wrong with her dangerous actions- a green(blue) light, keep going, don't slow down. Then in the middle it turns yellow- the middle light, slow down, consider what you're doing as the consequences of her actions start showing up. Then at the end, when it finally ends and she ends up dying, it turns red- stop light, end of the line.
idk just thought that was a cool detail :^D

Fun fact: the whole saying is “curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back”

GUMI, long hair and neko:
These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect VOCALOID song.
But Ferry intentionally added an extra ingredient to the concoction:
Suicidal masochism
And that only made the song better.

So, I have a theory on what this song’s about.

A trickster deity, taking the form of a cat, finds a young girl who wishes of adventuring but is scared of dying on the way. On her way home from school, she finds a black cat - and immediately trips and falls somewhere...

The next morning, she wakes up with no memory of what happened. All she knows is that her body aches all over, she has faint memories of a “portrait painted red”, the cat is still there...and she’s been given cat ears.

The cat assures her that now she has nine lives. The girl has to keep track of how many she has herself, but other than that...the world is hers.

Immediately, she goes on adventures, but people start noticing what’s going on, saying she’s changed. At that point, she accepts that dying is part of the experience, and ignores them completely.

Over time, the deity (still with her) encourages them to ‘mould their soul into their likeness’ and do madder and madder things. By now, the girl has used up many of her lives, but she seems to not care.

When the girl is on her ‘last life’, the deity reveals something to her: she didn’t just fall on the day she met the cat - she fell into a construction site.
The deity found her dying in the darkness, in the snow, with a concrete shell binding her rib cage and wrapped in plastic and wires.
The deity then brought her back to life, and erased her memory of the night’s events - just to see what would happen.

The girl, now completely desensitized to the idea of death and fixated on the last life she has to lose, brushes off the news. She goes for one last thrill, but, in the moments before she finally dies for good, she realises that her death in the construction site actually counted -
There was a certain death she failed to take into account.

This song is basically if Puss in Boots didn't learn his lesson in the second movie.

I wanted to listen to this but I forgot the name so I looked up "crappy cat cravings" which just sounds like the Walmart version of this song.

*_iMMEDIATELY STARTS WRITING DOWN LYRICS TO SING ALONG WITH_* I STG IF THIS ISN'T IN MY RANGE-

[iratelyconifit]

Comments: Alright if you can bear to listen to what I'm about to say, this song in particular has an extremely deep underlying meaning to it. So...
Ferry: its about a cat who wants to fUCKING DIE lmAO

[MckiRobynsP]

I really like these lyrics! Great job!

[rai]

Hi Ferry!
This is honestly the best song you've produced yet. yet. You're getting better at mixing and tuning! I've always thought you've had amazing lyrical ability, but the mixing and beat is repetitive. It's getting better though. My only critique is that you shouldn't be afraid to mix notes! Having the same sound gets repetitive. Don't get caught in the cycle of a lot of ENG producers, having the same repetitive sound in every song. You have the makings of a great producer. I can't wait to see where you go from here! 💕

[reaperthejellyfish]

Okie so here is what I think happens: A girl, (Gumi) is afraid of trying new things because of her anxiety over all the dangers that come with trying anything. She wishes to do stuff with her friends but is prevented because of her constant fear of death. However one day she has a near-death experience and was lucky enough to survive but was given a new obsession with living life on the edge. Because of her belief that she has more then one life to spend she continues to risk life and limb to feel excitement. However this backfires because she no longer has a sense of what is dangerous and what is safe, this causes her friends to leave her because of her change in personality and the fact that she won't listen to their warnings. However her luck ran out, she died trying to experience pure excitement, believing that dying was worth it. Anyway that is just my theory.

Edit: Thank you guys for 100 likes! I really appreciate it!

Edit 2: Oh my god 1000 likes! This is amazing thanks again guys!

fun fact: spicy food, peppers, evolved to be spicy so that they wouldnt be consumed by animals, and of course we Can eat it, but after some time it will kill our taste buds. She did sacrificed all the flavours as said in lyric.

[error-try-again-later]

Tfw you realise this song spoiled Puss in Boots 2, like, 5 years in advance.

[tangerinecceden]

listens to first 10 seconds: This is a bop and I always click on your songs for That Spicy Punk Vibe

This reminds me of a book I read about a boy that took 8 of nine of his cat’s lives and had them surgically put into him so he had nine lives but he did not care what he did so he lost those lives real quick but did not realize that he was on his last life so he decided to go skydiving... the parachute did not eject out of the pack so he plummeted into the earth never to be heard from again. 
Books aside this is a really good song and your art style is great. ywy I have loved listening to your music because you are new and I like to change up what I listen to and your style is really unique compared to others like GHOST, Creep-P, and umberatic forest. Sorry for making this comment so long but at least that means I care enough to say anything anything about your mad skills. ;P
