Lyrics
Found another chicken dead
Discovery of another dead chicken
Out behind the barn
Location of the dead chicken behind the barn
Eaten up and full of flies
Condition of the dead chicken, eaten and infested with flies
Summer has begun
Indication that summer has started
The heat is making waves again
Reference to the heat causing visual disturbances
Across the fields in back
Heat-related effects observed across the fields
And me I'm waging war again
Personal declaration of engaging in a conflict or struggle
Waiting for attack
Being prepared and anticipating an attack
Breakfast ended early when
Interrupted breakfast due to a spilled quart of milk
A quart of milk was dropped
Details about the milk spill causing an early end to breakfast
The puddle made had nearly dried
Describing the quick drying of the spilled milk and the cessation of screaming
Before the screaming stopped
Linking the fixing of a screen to prevent flies with the previous events
I finally fixed the screen today
Resolution to fix a screen to keep flies out
To keep out the flies
Expressing an aversion to flies landing on the face at night
I just can't stand them landing
Anticipating resistance or conflict when it's time to go home
On my face at night
Declaration of refusal to leave without a fight
And when I am done
Foreboding fear at the end of a journey or life
And they come to take me home
Commitment to resist going home
I will not go
Emphasis on the unwillingness to leave without a struggle
Without a battle no
Expressing fear of finding disappointment at life's end
Cause at the end of the line
Recognition of the possibility of having wasted time
I'm afraid that I will find
Concern about the potential realization of a lifetime of disappointments
That I've spent all my time
Reflection on the fear of spending time in vain
Disappointed
Concluding with a feeling of disappointment
