The sound comes from a viral TikTok edit combining the song Spectre by Alan Walker, with lyrics popularized as we live we love we lie, and a fan-made blue cat in a Smurf-like mushroom hat. The character, often called Smurf Cat or Shailushai, spread in 2023 through edits showing it walking sadly to the music. The contrast between the cheerful dance track and the lonely cat made it a lasting format for relatable, bittersweet memes.
About this sound
The We Live We Love We Lie cat sound is the dancing blue Smurf Cat edit audio, widely used for the viral meme about the sad cat character walking to the song.
This sound is the catchy refrain "we live, we love, we lie" from Alan Walker and Dash Berlin, paired with the viral blue Smurf Cat character. The loop is upbeat yet wistful, with a singalong vocal hook that repeats over a bright electronic beat. Paired with the little cat walking through mushrooms, it feels both funny and melancholic, which is why viewers find the edit oddly hypnotic and emotional.
