7. The Paronomasia – Cat, A Strophe (1 ver.)

[Intro — театр / шум залу / дзвін] All things must end… [Verse 1] A stage was set for something grand A perfect plot, a steady hand The actors knew their final lines The end was written between the signs Then something small crossed through the light A silent glitch, a velvet night A pair of eyes that did not care For scripted doom or careful prayer [Pre-Chorus] Strophe… Antistrophe… Turn and return… Watch it burn… [Chorus] Cat, a strophe — take your place Graceful witness to disgrace Cat, a strophe — soft and sly See the meaning slip and die Cat, a strophe — nothing breaks Only form — and that’s what aches Cat, a strophe — curtain falls Chaos purrs between the walls [Verse 2] The hero tripped on his own name The villain forgot why he came The chorus sang in fractured rhyme Out of sync and out of time The sky collapsed into a word No one spoke — yet all were heard And in the wreck of sense and role The cat just blinked — and kept it whole [Instrumental] [Bridge] Was it written — or just played? Was it broken — or remade? Strophe turns and turns again Every loss rewrites the end [Breakdown] A cat does not need meaning… It only needs the moment… [Chorus — хаотично-епічний] CAT — A STROPHE — WATCH IT FALL No one wrote this end at all CAT — A STROPHE — TURN THE PAGE Every ruin is a stage CAT — A STROPHE — LAUGH OR CRY Both are just a way to lie CAT — A STROPHE — FINAL SCENE Nothing’s lost — just rearranged [Outro] Meow
