“Instead” by CattaC: dark, powerful and uncomfortably honest
CattaC delivers an impressive darkwave track with ‘Instead’, which immediately captivates with its cool, industrial sound. The song opens with powerful beats, carried by a dark atmosphere. The interplay of powerful beats and the singer’s unmistakably dark voice establishes an instantly recognisable sound that will delight fans of the gothic and electro scene. CattaC is strongly reminiscent of the early works of Projekt Pitchfork, coupled with the sonic depth of Deus Ex Lumina.
The track’s bridge is particularly epic and builds up an oppressive intensity that perfectly captures the mood of the entire song. The song’s modernity is evident in the fusion of EBM and dark wave, which represents a direct yet subtle confrontation with the challenges of our time. ‘Instead’ challenges the listener to look behind the façade and find the courage to live authentically.

Lyrics of “Cattac – Instead”
Yeah, it’s sad – nobody tries
We are trapped in a world of lies wear the mask and act the part why don’t we listen to our hearts?
We lie to us – say it’s okay
Look, all the fading souls who hope to stay we live in boxes, no dreams arise
Too dark to feel and no one cries…
We are sad
But we feel good
We are in
A suicide mode
But
You want your guarantee that you survive
That you can stay
It’s our world that we live in
Why should we change?
Cause we don’t want to win
We live in boxes, no dreams arise too dark to feel and no one cries…
The destruction of the earth means the death of our souls but there is nowhere to run if we die alone…
We are sad
But we feel good
We are in
A suicide mode
But
You want your guarantee that you survive
That you can stay
