"Airplane wings fly to Nebraska. Words emerge out of endless blue skies. Paws touch solid ground as miles stretch across cornfields. Melodies and piano strings finally fill in the grumpy silences."

AIRPLANE WINGS 
Grumpy Kitty Boy 

Blue sky thinking 
Even though nothing comes sublimating 
Curious meanderings 
All reminiscing what didn't sink in 
Your photograph, staring 

CHORUS 
Airplane wings keep flying 
While you stood, not caring 
Stereotypes start dismantling 
Red flags you keep ignoring 

Oysters and clams, craving 
Your warm embrace, crushing 
What didn't sink in 
Our chemistry, persisting 

CHORUS 
Airplane wings keep flying 
While you flinched, not wanting 
Million miles start disrupting 
Geographies that keep insisting

“But who am I? I'll never know!”

Going through the school of hard knocks, Grumpy Kitty Boy seems to suffer from amnesia. He dreamily sings about things that don't make sense: words and pictures in the night sky, zodiac signs, shattered TV screens, horizon lines, bus rides. However, his ramblings shine in a different light when he actually pretends not to see reality in front of him. It turned out not to be a case of amnesia—Grumpy Kitty Boy rather prefers avoidance from past lives that continue to control his future.

“Blue Eyes” paves the way for Grumpy Kitty Boy's debut EP “Show Me The Kibbles,” a mishmash of songs that introduces us to glimpses of his life and character. EP release on February 26, 2021!

BLUE EYES
Grumpy Kitty Boy

Circles marking all the words
And pictures in the night sky
Hoping that I'd remember
Thin lines tracing zodiac signs
Where headlines fail to bring light
Dreaming that I’ll recover

But who am I?
I’ll never know
Even when the lights spell it out
People might go blind
With blue eyes
That lure me to my destiny
I’ll pretend that I don’t see

Shattered, broken TV screens
With flashes of your past lives
Deleting what you could have archived
Vague signs of horizon lines
Where bus rides kill your dreams for life
Feeling that I could have logged out

But who am I?
I’ll never know
Even when the lights spell it out
People might go blind
With blue eyes
That lure me to my destiny
I’ll pretend that I don’t see

But who am I?
I fail to know
Even when the sounds fade them out
People just scroll down
With blue eyes
That lure me to my destiny
I'll pretend that I don't see
I'll pretend that I don't see

Train Tracks

Grumpy Kitty Boy roams the streets of Toronto and Manila in his grumpy dreams. He likes singing badly and loves his kitty treats—irony and cynicism in glittery candy wrappings—but dislikes dry kibbles with a passion! He writes poetry when he's at his saddest, and writes songs when he's at his grumpiest. With Bad Puppy Mummy in close watch, he is kept company by a family of animals in the wild, including Raccoon, Pet Monkey, Canada Goose, and others.

Grumpy Kitty Boy is a singer-songwriter project of Toronto-based composer Juro Kim Feliz. Grumpy Kitty Boy artwork is provided courtesy of Korean visual artist Yuna Kim.
