As grown-ups, we often desire the lighthearted freedom we experienced in our youth. Facing so many challenges in life, it's common to lose sight of our true selves. It is always good to take a moment to reflect and to reconnect with our original selves amidst life's complexities. This story follows a cat who is weary of its mundane existence, wanting to embrace the life it has forever dreamed of.
Plot
A cat is watching TV in the dark in the beginning of the song. It symbolizes the cat is lost and very tired of its current life as it is spending time doing things without any particular purpose. As time goes by, the cat experiences a phantom, seeing itself as a man driving in galaxy. The cat is thrilled seeing all the wonderful things and this is when the heartbeat scene comes in. The cat is completely mesmerized by its own imagination. It keeps wandering around and doesn’t want to leave. At the end of the song, the cat is back in reality, it is staring at the TV and questioning its life purpose.
