Year of the Dog
Year of the Dog: Battling Exhaustion and Frustration
Lyrics
My body says that it’s had enough
Feeling physically exhausted or worn out
And I keep screaming for an answer
Expressing a persistent need for a solution or resolution
How many days do we have to go?
Asking how much longer the situation will last
How many spent under the bus?
Wondering how much time has been unpleasant or difficult
Year of the dog
Referencing the Chinese zodiac's Year of the Dog; possibly symbolizing loyalty, hard work, or a tough period
Another notch in my collar
Adding another mark of experience or difficulty
Another day another dollar
Expressing the monotony of earning a living
Detained by customs when in l.A
Describing a frustrating experience at a Los Angeles airport
The t.S.A wants us to pay
Indicating demands for payment by airport security (T.S.A)
Year of the dog
Reiterating reference to the Year of the Dog, possibly implying ongoing struggles
I don’t wanna keep spinning around
Expressing a desire to break free from repetitive patterns or routines
I don’t wanna keep chasing my tail
Rejecting the idea of endlessly pursuing something without fulfillment
Caught in the middle of a fist fight
Describing a situation trapped between reason and conflict, possibly internal or external
Of common sense and an asshole
Conflict between logic and an unpleasant person or situation
I tell myself that it’s all o.K
Trying to convince oneself that everything is fine, despite it not being the case
But really it’s just a dog-a-day
Highlighting that each day is a struggle or challenge
Year of the dog
Reiterating the recurring theme of facing difficulties, possibly tying it to the Year of the Dog
My body says that it’s had enough
Repeating the physical exhaustion or weariness
And I keep screaming for an answer
Continuing to express a need for answers or solutions
How many days do we have to go?
Repeating the inquiry about the duration of the difficult situation
How many more under the bus?
Reiterating the query about the extent of unpleasant experiences
