"Lost Kitten" Lyrics :::
[Verse 1]
Don't say yes if you can't say no
Victim of the system, say it isn't so
Squatted on the doorstep, swallowed all the blow
Leaving without you, can't say no
Halfway starts with happiness for me
Halfway house, lost kitten in the street
Hit me where it hurts, I'm coming home to lose
Kitten on the catwalk, high-heeled shoes
No more hot-headed Saturdays
They got it, they want it, they give it away
Tell me one thing you would never do
I was looking for a hooker when I found you
[Pre-Chorus]
You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine, ah, but you've got my eyes
[Chorus 1]
When you lie, I cover it up
When you hide, I cover it up
When you cry, I cover it up
When you come undone, I cover it up
[Verse 2]
So pent up, I was coming home to you
Happy in the night time, howlin' at the moon
Sippin' on a cocktail, drinking in the loo
There's something about you I hold on to
[Pre-Chorus]
You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine, ah, but you've got my eyes
[Chorus 2]
When you lie, I cover it up
When you hide, I cover it up
When you cry, I cover it up
When you're blind, I cover it up
[Chorus 1]
When you lie, I cover it up
When you hide, I cover it up
When you cry, I cover it up
When you come undone, I cover it up
[Bridge]
They got it, they want it, they give it away
They got it, they want it, they give it away
They got it, they want it, they give it away
They got it, they want it, they give it away
[Chorus 3]
When you lie, I cover it up
When you hide, I cover it up
When you cry, I cover it up
When you come undone, I cover it up

JOMOK LO 👎
'Can you describe her?'
*does a dance*
'I DO know her!'
Lmao
ok im laughing
actually the doña says "ah, the one with the broken heart"
@@asanoposting9797 Ah, man, this makes me even more sadder. Thanks.
😂😂@@asanoposting9797
"Have you seen my mother ?
She's beautiful like an angel"
That's so adorable 😭😭😭
I actually do want this song to be popular as hell, because it definitely deserves.
I think it is popular in its own ways now. First found this song with euphoria uploading. Found another one with also anime mv and i think i heard about a blade runner edit.
Actually saw that it has a lot of listens on spotify
It's pretty popular here actually, as a meme
It is, to anime schizo like me.
Ever heard of Bocchi the Rock?
The first minutes of this video were filmed in my neighborhood, Santa Maria la Ribera, in Mexico City, a few meters from my house and saw those recordings, but this time I thought it was filming a soap opera, or a TV commercial very exotic.
That's pretty wiz dude.
"Mexico"
Day ruined.
@@dankmemes7423 I encourage you to visit Mexico City someday - you might find your self surprised at what a fascinating place it is.
@@noahholland1795 no.
@@noahholland1795 ignore that guy. just another energy vampire in a youtube comment section looking for a fix.
I might be digging too deep but I feel this about crossing over after death. He dies in his sleep, he goes to the painting of Mother Mary, a note from his "mother" says she misses him and he begins his journey to find her. He wanders around like a lost soul because nobody pays attention or can help him until an elderly woman (Santa Muerte?) takes his hand and tells him where to find his mother. At the end of his journey he kisses the doll goodnight, closes its eyes like you would somebody who has died (letting go of his old life). Then follows the light through a hole and the light embraces him, he's then cradled in the arms of his mother like an infant as she smiles fondly down at him.
Makes sense
adding to this is the river styx imagery, with him even paying a dude his gold coin necklace(?) before he embarked on the dinghy
What are you on about?
It's literally about a LGBT person finding a chosen family after being abandoned.
It couldn't be more clear from the imagery or the fact that they literally say the term "House Mother", which refers to the person who runs a home for queer folk.
@@nyxeowyn8170 yeah, this theory doesn't have anywhere near the plausibility the original one does.
@@nyxeowyn8170 these interpretations can coexist. Being abandoned can be a lot like dying and dying can be a journey to a better world (for a religious person at least).
This clip is weirdly heart breaking. It's like a reminder of every lost soul out there who was once a child with hopes and dreams. Most of them never found their way back home.
Metric certainly knows how to do it. It both depressed me immensely and uplifted me tremendously at the same time. That's art, the rest can go home.
I think the Video is a different tone,from the song a bit.So its a brilliant "disonance" let me tell you that
They found Mama 🥹
Don’t we all just want a safe place to land and safe arms to hold us?
came here expecting kittens.
now stuck in thoughts, trying to understand Metric's work.
Carth Onasi in the last 4 years I come here to think about this song and video and this pretty much sums up my life rn
@@appanaulaaa same
And after 7 years I revisited this video and I can’t still not believe how awesome it is. It was ahead of it’s time
Well here is a reminder that this song exists
I am Mexican and you do not know how exciting it is to see that this video is focused on Mexico City and especially on my great Xochimilco where I am from.
Just love from the beats, the lyrics to everything about this song. 🥰
Aún mejor la referencia a la película mexicana "conozca la cabeza de Juan Pérez" en el minuto 1:01
Okay so a few words about this song. I think that i know why so many people like this song. It makes you feel like waking up from this one dream that you lived your whole other life in. The song paired with right visuals (maybe something that will remind you of fleeting memories or the passage of time) makes you feel a sense of longing for that other life you never had.
Yeah the life in nature that we all are made for bruh nothing it's more simple than that
Like that one dream you get married in
I'm seeing a lot of hate and confusion for this video in the comments, I however found it rather touching. The video fits the song perfectly, it's about a lost child (whether it be a kitten, man, woman ect...) looking for their Mother, or perhaps just someone that can comfort them. The comments below explains the story behind the dolls and really helps clear things up in the video, probably one of my favorite videos of theirs.
TonyVS Ikr this video is so tuching.
The story, combined with the vogue dance implies it is not a "mother" in the traditional sense, but rather basically a den mother that took in lost gay youths in the 80s. Still goes on to this day to some extent too. There is still extreme hatred for gays in many, many countries and many flee broken homes due to violence. Women like this would take gay men in and teach them to perform and such, giving them a purpose. Obviously, it is a video and up for interpretation, but this seems a logical answer. The dancer is looking for the only place he finds home when the world is so cruel to him.
Where is the hate?
Yeaaaah, its confused in the beggining, but after the video explain all the Story And the lyrics of the song make sense, In conclusion, the video is very metaphorical, I think, but its great! 💥 ❤️
Having watched the video, I feel like it resounds with me on more levels, having lost a parent in my teens due to illness, I feel like I'm waiting to see them again, and trying my best to make them proud in life. When I first listened to this song, it gave me a sorrow at the failed romantic relationships of my life, this hasn't receded, it just has been added to it.
when he was in the city, his jacket didn't fit very well, but when he went out into the nature and to the river it shone from the sun along with the reflections of the water - very beautiful 3:28
I don’t know why I was so taken by this jacket...
You could say his true colors showed up in the solitude of nature
I can't believe it's been 10 years since this album was released. What an awesome one it is as well.
I went to the concert here in Calgary after the album was released.
One of the best moments of my life.
Metric has forever changed my life in a way I can't describe. I've been a fan since 2003.
Their latest album "Formentera" is incredible! 🤘💕
Have you seen them in concert?
@@LETSGETUTILIZED316 Yes... I saw them live in Calgary in 2012.
Gotta give it to the man, he knows how to turn heads.
Such a beautiful song!
Thank you 🙏 Emily & Metric!
This song was ahead of it's time, can't believe it was released more than 10 years ago
OMG! I honestly want to be this guy's real-life friend. He's, quirky, cool, sweet, totally himself, and beautiful on every level.
+CDG I used to work with this guy, about a year or so ago. And I can agree, he is the kind of guy who, if you're having a bad day, he'll cheer you up. All his actions/mannerisms/dance moves, are totally him.
At 2:10, the lady actually says in Spanish "Oh, the one with the broken heart!" :(
The last image of her holding him is from the famous sculpture The Pieta by Michelangelo depicting Mary cradling the dead body of Christ.
blasphemy
Pretty much, bro. Did you know that "anti", which comes from the Greek, doesn't merely mean 'agaibst something' but also 'in the place of something'? Like for example the Greek word for vice-president literally means "anti-president" (πρόεδρος --> αντιπρόεδρος). Now think about what this may also imply in the case of the Antichrist, brother.
This is probably my favourite metric song. It’s such a vibe!
I'm so happy I came across this music video. It's so beautiful. Please collaborate with Miss Tynomi again!
Y saber que grabaron este video en México, emociona y hace que me gusten aún más
Metric all day, every day.
YO WHERE IS THE ANIME GIRL LOOKING AT THE CAMERA?
STOP
the band and the artist is not related, those anime girl pics is just made up by someone
What do you have against I watch bladee runner on repeat
@@astraldim no one asking
@ladysaintpangan he just tell mateo not you
I always dream of white kittens and it reminds me of this song. For me this song means finding and taking care of a lost kitten. Of a weak one even if the expense is yourself. You love them too much
That's being a good mother
frequently . . .
i just listen to music for how it makes me feel,
not what it makes me think.
metric is an amazing band !
this is another great song by them !
😢same
"Describe her." Magic!
Have lost count of how many times I have listened this song...just brilliant
Una idea original para un vídeo un recorrido por la ciudad de México, simplemente genial.
¡Me encanta la ciudad de México!
Lagu kebangsaan grup "kami skizo"
balik lagi bang sini
kami skizo udah kembali
Simmm amo❤️❤️❤️
NO ME CANSO DE ESCUCHAR ESTE PEDAZO DE CANCION, CON ESTE VIDEO UN PRETEXTO MAS PARA SEGUIR PREMIANDO A MIS SENTIDOS
Normally the song makes me sad, watching the official video and seeing him find his mom at the end made me smile.
From the band e-mail: "In Rawal's reimagining of the archetypal heroic journey, Sheldon embarks on a mysterious pilgrimage through Mexico City and into the canal maze of Xochimilco on a flat-bottomed trajinera in search of his house mother, an “angel" in his memories. Upon reaching his destination, Sheldon delivers an epic vogueing performance (!) to celebrate his spiritual reunion with the maternal. His massive on-screen presence is only amplified by his bold attire: sequined jacket and kitten heels."
Just in case some people were confused about the video.
I think gay culture is really annoying and stupid most of the time but this music video was honestly cool as shit
Give him a pet kitten to cuddle on his shoulder, THERE'S a perfect music video. Amazing though, and one of my favorite Metric songs.
I can’t get enough of this video. For those of us who are outcasts, haven’t felt accepted by society- the longing for a mother who loves and accepts us is deep. My mother tries as best she can, but I will never be enough for her. To find a mother in this video who loves and accepts you the way you are is powerful.
The best video for my favorite song of the album recorded IN MY CITY, BYE, IM DONE
I've been listening to this song in 2014, I was 17 years old. This is the kindest song for me. Very beautiful and amotional♥️
yt is recommending all of my old favs, this is one of them, still a banger
This has been one of my favorite songs off the album since it came out and still is. I was reading through the comments and I'm surprised this video is getting so much hate. I think it's beautifully shot, tells a story (which is a bit unclear because it's written in between the lines since Metric is actually a talented and creative band), and since it is a story of a gay male that makes is controversial to a lot of people. I think it's a great and even emotional story of growth, strength and love. Good job Metric.
THANK U FOR MAKING A VIDEO OF MY FAVORITE METRIC SONG
In my opinion (as a mexican) this video is trying to reflect the live of all of us (mexicans) losing ourselves in the middle of the globalization.
I think the guy is looking for 'la virgen de guadalupe' a very common image of Mary here in mexico, you can see her at the begining. He is returning to Mexico (i think he is a migrant? that's why he can't speak spanish very fluently??) and he's trying to settle down into his homeland.
Also, in 2:11 they said that the woman said "Ah yes, I do know of her" but she refered to his mother as "the one with the broken heart", I don't know what does it means yet but idk.
+Ricardo Laxantes HOLA
+Curro Lucas JAJAJAJAJAJAJA QUÉ PEDO HOW DID YOU FIND ME?
porque soy un intenso de Metric
+Curro Lucas ya fui a verlos en persona, they pretty
qué guayy cantaron muchas canciones del nuevo disco o más antiguas?
Im in love with this song these days. Its really hard to describe what i feel when i'm listening to this.
Love from South Korea
I watch Blade Runner on repeat brought me here. We're all gonna make it Brah!
I must say. Having listened to this at the least 50 times. Never envisioned it like this. Music is a special thing.
This is one of the most beautiful art projects I've ever seen, I always get emotional with this clip
All these people bashing the video are clearly ignorant to the gay "vogue" and Mexican culture. Go read about it, then watch and realize how badasssss it is.
Metric has the soundtrack of my imagination, gosh I love their sound so much!
I came here because a friend recommended this song to me. Never thought the MV would be much much more
La Isla de las muñecas! That has got to be one of the creepiest places in Mexico. I loved this!
it actually impressed me how they did manage to film it here, it is a very creepy placed, so shocked
byakugan67 But your picture does
Who is Nijika? For the blind, she is vision. For the hungry, she is the chef. For the thirsty, she is water. If Nijika thinks, I agree. If Nijika speaks, I’m listening. If Nijika has a million fans, I am one of them. If Nijika has ten fans, I am one of them. If Nijika has only one fan, that is me. If Nijika has no fans, I no longer exist. If the whole world is against Nijika, I am against the whole world. I will love Nijika until my very last breath.
Lmao yes
I'm not going to lie, this is the first time that foreign content containing something about my country has offended me. So that it is understood: The island that is seen at the end is the island of the dolls and it is completely forbidden to go there, I have been to Xochimilco many times and I have never been able to enter
Why can't i stop watching this video. LOVE IT!!!
No sabía que mi nueva canción favorita tenía un video oficial. Vine con mucha emoción a verlo y veo esto. Me he quedado exhortó ante tal representación
Great song.....the normal standard for an exceptional group.... Metric
this is ICONIC
Wow this song made me cry so much
It's about someone who feels like a lost kitten. He/she) dissociate himself as a lost kitten, with nobody to turn to..
When you lie, I cover it up,
When you hide, I cover it up
When you cry, I cover it up
When you come undone, I cover it up
The person is not actually referring to the cat, but to himself. He covers himself up to hide these feelings
WHÀAAAAAAAT? NOT TO A CAT, WHODA THOUGHT?!
Wonderful! I loved the music, I loved Mexico and the protagonist.
Nice tribute to Mexico City. Thank you .
im a horrible person because someone that was in love with me told me this song reminds them of me. i ghosted them after, not because i didn't love them back but because i know i could never be able to offer them the love they deserve.
You're horrible. I'm the person type you just described.
Lmfao
LOVE this song and video! It doesn't matter if the man in the video is queer, and that doesn't mean it's a decidedly "gay" video. I don't watch music videos to see sexy women stripping and dancing, I watch it for an experience that enhances the music and the story behind it, and that's exactly what this video does. Fantastic job, Metric!!!
This video is amazing; it gives the song a new meaning. 💖💜💙
i swear metric is early for its time, black sheep and this song would be bangers today
best songwriting from metric since wet blanket and the list
i can't get enough of this song. beautiful mv.
Addicted to this song! I actually like the music video.
Metric is Canada's treasure💕 We love you❤
I ADORE that jacket.
Mexico loves Metric more than you think guys!!! Thanks for this awesome video :D
México + Metric = Maravilloso y único :) Hermosas tomas, concepto visual hermoso y música excelente.
¡Que hermoso video! CDMX🇲🇽🌮❤
felicidades un video ecelente!! y sobre todo espectacular que dieran participacion a mexico y a su gente!!
B R A V O! I love the lost little kitten! HOW BEAUTIFUL! :)
perfect video for a perfect song. i was tearing up when i first saw this. (':
Love all your songs. Nothing Metric can't do.
This video hits me in the feels a little bit.
Esto es lo más perfecto hablando en Kitsch que he visto en mi vida.
Great video, it could mean anything! The lost kitten is a lost soul returning to his home of mystic and primal grandeur.
Yeah, I don't think I could be more in love with this song. :)
Couldn't be more pleased. It literally gave this song a new meaning. I was really shocked by the artistic meaning behind the song. It's my favorite track from Synthetica, so I'm super happy. Love how they integrated Mexico and a little of its culture plus a gay flamboyant guy. If you don't understand it, I'm sorry but you are a fool. This is by far one of their best videos. I'm a cat lover and I expected kittens tbh but I'm actually glad they decided to do something different and not so predictable. Bravo!
What the surrealistic hell did I just watch? O_o Don't get me wrong, I liked it. The way he moves! It's beautiful. I kinda walk some of those streets from time to time in Mexico City, and thank you for not doing the cliched Historical Downtown sightseeing. :) And OMG the Doll's Island in Xochimilco.

Ah, ah, oh, ah, oh, ah, oh, ah
YEEEESSSS THIS IS MY FAVORITE AND I DIDNT REALIZE IT HAD A VIDEO
Que bonito ver que hicieron un video en mi ciudad. Me encantó!
Oh Q genial de metric buena cancion el video algo loko
This video is BEAUTIFUL.
Metric makes the bombass music! 🔥💣
at 2:11 what she actually says is " the one with the broken heart", thought you guys should know ;)
this song makes me nostalgic for something i never knew or had.
I love this song and LOVE this video. It's beautiful and that guy is wonderful - in the word's most literal sense. This is art - ya'll who dislike it just because you don't get it: embrace the wonder that IS Metric.
ahhh the bridge where the village girl drowned and dolls are left in her honour! so creepy and cool
That lovely man is Tynomi Banks, a kick ass drag queen from Toronto!
He's beautiful, so human. Thank you for letting us know who he is.
THANK YOU! @jay walker I KNEW I recognized her but I couldn't remember her drag name or what season she was on. Just that she was "newer"!
I really enjoyed this whole album. One of the best. This song is one of my favs of the album.
Everything about this is so precious and wonderful and I just adore this with my whole heart
I think it's a great video! It may be different but that's the whole message of the song. It gives the song more meaning
This is the most flamboyant thing I have ever seen
wheeey gay... and thats okay.
Ohmygad I didn't know they had a video for this song. I must be crazy!!!
we're gonna make it, goslingbros
made me cry the entire time such an amazing song, thank you for making this masterpiece.
