HOURS
Dancing Through Darkness: Unveiling the Soulful Story in Dog Orchestra's 'HOURS'
Lyrics
Put your good shoes on
Encouraging someone to prepare for a positive or special occasion.
You know you look so good
Complimenting the person, expressing that they appear attractive.
when you look so wrong
Suggesting that looking unconventional or out of place is appealing.
Like an exit wound
Using a metaphor to describe an impactful and possibly painful departure.
Like a horse in a hotel room
Creating an unusual image to convey a situation that may feel chaotic.
And I need you to say
Expressing a desire for the person to propose staying together longer.
let's just stay for another hour
Requesting to extend the current moment or experience for an additional hour.
I need a whiskey crush
Expressing a need for a strong alcoholic drink.
I need the world to stop for us
Desiring a pause in the world's activities for a shared moment.
I need an exit wound
Reiterating the metaphor of an impactful departure, possibly in a romantic context.
I need a horse in a hotel room
Continuing the metaphor of unconventional and chaotic situations.
And I need you to say
Repeating the desire for the partner to suggest staying together longer.
let's just keep dancing for another hour
Asking to continue dancing for another hour, emphasizing the joy in the moment.
In this darkness
Describing a state of darkness, possibly metaphorical, where visibility is limited.
Oh I can see you somehow
Expressing the ability to perceive the partner despite the darkness.
In this darkness
Reiterating the perception of the partner's presence in challenging circumstances.
oh I can feel it now
Acknowledging the emotional connection felt in the midst of difficulties.
(And I need you to say
Repeating the desire to continue dancing for an additional hour.
let's just keep dancing for another hour)
Emphasizing the wish for an extended joyful moment with the partner.
But I feel you stirring in the
Sensing the partner's presence in the subconscious or hidden thoughts.
backseat of my mind
Awareness of the passage of time and anticipation of a shared experience.
I'm watching the clocks
Observing time passing, possibly with a sense of shared anticipation.
I know you're watching them too
Understanding that both are aware of the passing time.
waiting for those hours to beat us
Anticipating challenges or difficulties symbolized by hours beating them.
black and blue
Envisioning the impact of time, possibly causing emotional distress.
Waiting for the earth to swallow you
Waiting for a transformative or overwhelming experience symbolized by the earth.
waiting for your love to bury you
Expecting love to have profound effects, potentially overwhelming.
Waiting for the stars to follow you
Anticipating a significant event or change symbolized by the movement of stars.
and I will wait there too
Expressing commitment to wait alongside the partner through challenges.
In this darkness
Repeating the theme of perceiving the partner in challenging circumstances.
Oh I can see you somehow
Reiterating the ability to see the partner despite darkness.
In this darkness
Reaffirming the emotional connection felt in difficult situations.
oh I can feel it now
Concluding the song by emphasizing the sensed emotional connection in adversity.
