Tail from Psychotic Wonderland by MonkeyCat

Tail conveys a bold declaration of self-empowerment and defiance after enduring oppression. The speaker, once brought low under the rule of powerful men, now embraces her strength and agency, symbolized by the "wagging tail"—a playful but assertive assertion of her autonomy. The recurring urge to "wag it" represents her reclaiming control, expressing readiness to take charge and set boundaries. The defiance is clear in her warning: "step on my tail, that step could be your last," signaling her newfound refusal to be subdued or exploited any longer. It's a celebration of reclaiming power and asserting one's worth after being subjected to years of devaluation and control.

Lyrics

This phantom urge
it never fails
I got to do it
I'm gonna wag my tail

There's nothing back there you can see
but I know there's something following me
Gotta think its something kinda wild
been following me since I was a child

Anytime I'm ready for some love
I just raise it up with a great big fluff
and if you ever see it between my legs
it don't mean I'm scared, it just means I'm ready to play

I'm gonna wag it
I'm gonna wag it
I'm gonna wag it
I'm gonna wag all over the place
I'm gonna wag it
I'm gonna wag it
I'm gonna wag it
right in your face

Brush it out each and every night
keep it looking sharp, keep it looking tight
and if you're behind me don't move too fast
step on my tail, that step could be your last.
