about

Meowtain are a pile of four mountain lion cubs that formed a band in 2011 in Olympia, WA. These feral cats write pop songs and thrash them out until they bleed green fuzz all over the carpet.

Track Name: Alleyway
walking down an alleyway
I don't know no other way to go
so I go, where I know, where I know

It sucks about the rain
but what can we do about these days
oh today? they don't change
they don't change

keep one arm flexed
you gotta be strong
you never know
who's gonna come
and push you along

my boots keep sliding around
and I can't seem to hold onto
what I have found in this town
it keeps on moving all around

it sucks about the car
without it i can't drive that far
but it could never even make
it to the stars or to mars

so keep one arm flexed
you gotta be strong
you never know
who's gonna come
and push you along

stop pulling at your hips
you cannot peal them away
away away

they are not oranges
they are not grapefruit
they are not lemons
they are not limes

and every fruit that blooms is destined to die

so keep one arm flexed
you gotta be strong
you never know
who's gonna come
and push you along
Track Name: Species
I can't talk to the members of my species no more
I want duel citizenship between this life and that one
And declare war

I can't talk to the members of my species no more
I want duel citizenship between this life and that one
The only thing that matters is love and bladder control
So declare war
Track Name: Castle of Secrets
watch me float,
watch me sink,
i've got everything to do
but there's nothing to think.

moonlit path, a lucky dream
cast a spell on my heart
fade into a sea of green

castle of secrets,
that you keep locked up
on a school bus,
in your memories
it's where you sleep.

i push my boat into the lake
glowing lantern in my chest
and i'm sailing away

you hear me call,
you stay on shore
i don't know what i'm sailing for

i want to dissipate into the fog.
Track Name: Wolf
Mama was a wild wolf we could never keep indoors,
she cried all night by the windowsill wanting our for more.
She climbed outside her locked bedroom window to ride her rocking horse, she always wanted more. More.

I think you're the blood keeping the bones afloat
I think you are everything that matters
We walk with our fists clenched like a pendulum keeping time
The rhythm that I hear will never be mine

With a wild wolf inside my heart
I know my mouth can be sharp
but I'm not biting, I'm not biting

With a baby crow in my palm
I grab darkness and string it along
We are all light
Feathers keeping flight

I think you're the blood keeping the bones afloat
down the river to the heart of the marrow
so grab a shield, light a flame, our spirits electrified can never be tamed
and do you want to be tamed?
Track Name: Forget Pine Trees
I guess, I guess I know what I've been told
I guess, I guess I know what I've been told
I guess, I guess I know what I've been told
Im not gonna do it though
Im not gonna do it though

Touch me
Feel my legs shaking
Make me
Believe in Satan
Lets charge the castle at night
With mimes and lights
dying of laughter

I guess, I guess I know what I've been told
I guess, I guess I know what I've been told
I guess, I guess I know what I've been told
Im not gonna do it though
Im not gonna do it though

YOU SEE LABELS
YOUR MIND CATEGORIZES
BELIEVE THE FABELS
WHAT TREES LOOK LIKE
FORGET WHAT YOUR MIND SEES
SEE WHAT YOUR EYES SEE
FORGET PINE TREES
AND EVERY KIND MAYBE

I guess, I guess I know what I've been told
I guess, I guess I know what I've been told
I guess, I guess I know what I've been told
Im not gonna do it though
Im not gonna do it though
Track Name: Spirit Voices
spirit voices where do they come from?
drifiting through the walls.
spilling out their necks, all of their songs.

do they have secerts? are they just wandering?
are they the husk of a moments shell, waiting to be released into sound?

do you hear me i don't think so but i can feel you.
running through my body like electric wire.
i'm buzzing and i am set on fire.

spirit voices where do they come from?
drifiting through the walls.
spilling out their necks, all of their songs.
