It’s sickening! And it’s getting worse.
My predicament is getting me immersed.
With all damage done I’m throwing in the towel,
I can’t carry on resorting to denial.

My catalyst,
My lovely narcissist,
I died as we kissed,
I’ve been a masochist.

There’s nothing to salvage, nothing to save,
No memories to nurture and nothing to say,
We’ve learned to cover up the ugly truth,
Ignorance and selfishness had ravished our youth.

My catalyst,
My lovely narcissist,
I died as we kissed,
I’ve been a masochist.

Obsessively we’re good at lust,
Perpetually we both suck at trust.
(I want to hurt you so much I hurt myself instead
Just to make sure we’re still not dead.)
No sacrifice is good enough,
It’s getting worse, cuz we suck at love.
(I want to get to the real you, but go ahead.
Prove me wrong, pretend that you’ve never bled.)

I’ve tried to drag you out into the sunlight,
I thought I’ve shined on you but then I figured that I’m not bright enough.
We’re sheer perfection when we pretend we’ve got nothing to hide,
Both insecure and arrogant, cracking smiles and playing tough.

Obsessively we’re good at lust,
Perpetually we both suck at trust.
(I want to hurt you so much I hurt myself instead
Just to make sure we’re still not dead.)
No sacrifice is good enough,
It’s getting worse, cuz we suck at love.
(I want to get to the real you, but go ahead.
Prove me wrong, pretend that you’ve never bled.)

Let’s burn down all that we got left,
To make sure we’re not dead.
Let’s get us as high as we can get
While we’re codependent.

Come prop me up when I get obscene,
I’ll cut you up in your secret dream.
Come sweat it out, it’s time to come clean.
We’re codependent.

Obsessively we’re good at lust,
Perpetually we both suck at trust.
(I want to hurt you so much I hurt myself instead
Just to make sure we’re still not dead.)
No sacrifice is good enough,
It’s getting worse, cuz we suck at love.
(I want to get to the real you, but go ahead.
Prove me wrong, pretend that you’ve never bled.)

Let’s burn down all that we got left!
Let’s get us as high as we can get.

What if you see my stars?
What if you know a secret Milky Way to my scars?
Did you hear me breathe
When I’ve been so lost and naked with my heart on a sleeve?

Through my raindrops
You might have tasted the bitterness
Hidden underneath.
Now through my oceans
Watch me unfurl,
Today I just want to believe

That you are the one,
Someone meant to be here,
Someone I’ve always known.
Are you the one?
Are we meant to cohere?
Shall we coalesce into one?

What if you know my face?
What if you heard me sigh in someone else’s embrace?
Did you see me die 
Every time that I could not abide and comply? 

Through my midnights
Watch me unfold, see me bloom and thrive.
I am so alive.
You’ve warmed my rivers
That flow underneath.
Today I just want to believe

That you are the one,
Someone meant to be here,
Someone I’ve always known.
Are you the one?
Are we meant to cohere?
Shall we coalesce into one?

Should I run and hide
Or should I bet my heart and trust you?
Should I stay on guard
Or should I just confide?
Do you have the key
That opens up my sacred garden?
Trust my guiding stars
And follow them to me.

Today… today…
Today I just want to believe

That you are the one,
Someone meant to be here,
Someone I’ve always known.
Are you the one?
Are we meant to cohere?
Shall we coalesce into one?

Should I run and hide
Or should I just confide?
Should I run and hide
Or should I bet my heart on you?!

Are you the one?

Spoken: My name… My name is Alice.
And I remember everything.

Kiss

Whatever's left of you is me by now,
Whatever's left of me is you somehow.

Nascent and volatile,
Wild and unstoppable.
Cohesion is key to bliss,
Just follow my lead on this.
Surrender to tenderness...

Darkness is palpable,
Feelings are audible.
Let's half-time our every kiss,
Just follow my lead on this.
Surrender to tenderness,
Surrender to tenderness.

Whatever's left of you,
Whatever's left of me.
Whatever's left of you,
Whatever's left of me.
Surrender to tenderness,
Surrender to tenderness.

Whatever's left of you is me by now,
Whatever's left of me is you somehow.

X-Tenderness (single version)

X-Tenderness

'Maeve' is a progressive trance / deep house track that explores the darkness and the brightest explosive aspects of a passionate relationship.
'Maeve' originates from a very sad place. When I started working on it back in October 2017, I was more than sure it's going to be a dark track that would tell a story of what does it feel like to be objectified, craved, oversexualized, to be someone's fantasy at best. In a way, 'Maeve' can be parallelled with a song that seemingly has nothing to do with it genre-wise, 'Mad-Mad-Mademoiselle'—a piece that heavily focused on the themes of being misunderstood and/or being crammed into someone else's expectations.
I started making the first part of 'Maeve' with this in mind and being exactly on that page. But as the production went on, and my own life too, I landed it in quite a different place. It was at that point still a dark punchy track but there was also passion and love too. The lyrics and vocal parts were the very last piece of production done, both of these elements were very far from where 'Maeve' originally started from. (Maybe that's also one of the reasons why the track is so long: the beginning and the end are set 12 minutes apart!) 
What was originally conceived as a sarcastic, sad, yet beautiful metaphor for being lusted for like Queen Mab (or even Lilith) grew into a song that explores the evolution of a relationship and praises the ultimate unity of two people who coalesce in passion, beauty, and love.

One would be hard pressed to discover an artist with the versatility and diversity possessed by Cat Corelli.  A singer, songwriter, producer, musician, and designer, Cat’s eclectic musical tastes land primarily in the realm of metal but remain open to influence by many other genres.  Since her teenage years, Cat has been drawn to listen to acts such as Slipknot, Bring Me The Horizon, and Korn, but is quick to point out that she can just as easily get lost in the sounds of Miles Davis.

 

To date, Cat has released an astonishing sixteen albums and EPs covering a wide swath of musical genres.  Her debut album, Heaven Syndrome, was released in 2010 and featured a dozen tracks consisting of electronic, experimental, and pop.  Since then, Cat has spent a great deal of her time focusing on the metal genre while still dabbling in other styles such as acid jazz, rap, alternative rock, and latin.  Her latest project, I Alice: Severance, is a deathcore album that dropped in Summer 2017.  All of Cat’s music is currently available on her website, through digital distribution services like Amazon and iTunes and also for streaming on Spotify.

Away from music, Cat is an advocate of many causes.  The transsexual artist is a vocal supporter of efforts promoting equality, empowerment, and human and animal rights.  She has used her own website to spread the word about causes such as Stand With Standing Rock and the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF).  In fact, all proceeds from the sale of her single “Scapegod” have benefitted CCF.  Additionally, Cat spends much of her spare time handcrafting jewelry, sculptures, and other accessories for fans.  She is also an avid painter.
