BLACK CATS

ZillaKami's 'BLACK CATS' is a raw and intense exploration of personal turmoil and mental health struggles. The song opens with the repeated phrase 'Bad luck,' setting a tone of persistent misfortune and social alienation. This sense of doom is further emphasized by the line 'Social injuring,' suggesting that the protagonist feels harmed by societal interactions. The mention of 'AI' introduces a metaphorical layer, possibly indicating a feeling of dehumanization or a loss of control over one's own life, as if operating on autopilot.

The lyrics delve deeper into the protagonist's internal battle with mental health. The line 'I can’t save the world when I can’t save myself' highlights a sense of helplessness and the overwhelming nature of personal struggles. The imagery of a 'Gun pointed at my mental health' is stark and powerful, symbolizing the extreme pressure and potential self-destructive tendencies. The plea 'Please, nobody can help shit that they can't see' underscores the often invisible nature of mental health issues, which can be difficult for others to understand or address.

ZillaKami's expression of hatred towards 'everything that isn’t me' and dealing with 'negatives' paints a picture of deep-seated frustration and isolation. The metaphor of an 'empty glass' signifies a lack of hope or positivity. The repeated questioning of 'Am I AI probably likely' suggests a profound identity crisis, where the protagonist feels disconnected from their own humanity. This song is a poignant reflection on the struggles of mental health, societal pressures, and the search for self-identity in a world that often feels indifferent.
