YOU LIED (CatNap's Theme)

Cougar MacDowall's song 'YOU LIED (CatNap's Theme)' delves into themes of betrayal, friendship, and the struggle for identity amidst external manipulations. The song begins with a seemingly innocent conversation between two characters, CatNap and DogDay, highlighting their deep bond and mutual understanding. However, this friendly exchange quickly shifts to a darker tone, revealing underlying tensions and deceit.

As the lyrics progress, CatNap expresses feelings of betrayal and disillusionment. The repeated lines 'I think you lied again' suggest a recurring theme of deception that CatNap has experienced, possibly hinting at deeper issues within their relationship or the environment they inhabit. The mention of being 'blind again' and the need to 'let it happen, so we can be free again' implies a resignation to these betrayals as a means to an end, possibly freedom from a controlling or manipulative force.

The song also touches on themes of resistance and the fight for personal autonomy. Phrases like 'Fight again, fight for me, fight for you' and 'I'll do what I have to' reflect a determination to reclaim control over one's destiny, despite the confusion and loss of self ('I can't remember who I was'). The reference to 'the prototype' suggests a larger, possibly dystopian or controlling entity that influences or dictates behavior, adding a layer of complexity to the struggle between personal desires and imposed roles or identities.
