Big Dogs Bark
Embracing Change: Facing Darkness and Unveiling Strength in 'Big Dogs Bark'
Lyrics
Let's take it from the start, oh, I got feelings in my heart
Expressing a desire to revisit the beginning, acknowledging emotional sensitivity.
I'm still strong and I am certain of myself
Asserting strength and self-confidence despite challenges.
I ain't afraid of the dark, yeah, I heard that big dogs bark
Not afraid of difficult situations, referencing the metaphorical "big dogs" that bark.
I'm not as scared of what I used to be
Overcoming past fears and evolving as an individual.
Travelling these roads, yeah, I was blinded when it snowed
Recalling a journey, using metaphorical blindness during a snowstorm to represent past ignorance.
You were young and you were cold, but I was thin
Describing a cold and young companion, acknowledging personal vulnerability.
Oh I did face the dark, yeah, I heard that big dogs bark
Facing darkness, referring to the metaphorical "big dogs" and acknowledging personal growth.
I saw the big white wolf inside myself
Discovering inner strength and confronting one's own vulnerabilities.
Don't take me for a fool because I'm not the man I used to be
Rejecting assumptions about personal character evolution.
In time you'll find I'm warm inside for free
Assuring that internal warmth will be revealed over time without cost.
So take it from the start, you could find feelings in your heart
Encouraging someone to explore their emotions from the beginning.
You'll still be strong and you'll be certain of yourself
Promoting continued strength and self-assurance.
And there's no use to hide it, my dear, oh, oh, oh
Emphasizing the futility of hiding emotions.
And there's no use to have any fear, oh, oh, oh
Discouraging the presence of fear in the relationship.
I took you to Knysna and you said it's really nice here
Narrating a visit to Knysna and expressing a desire to live by the sea.
Oh, I could live forever by the sea
Extending the idea of eternal happiness by the sea.
Then it started raining and the moon seemed to be waning
Introducing a change in mood with rain and a symbolically waning moon.
Oh I will go wherever you will be
Committing to follow the partner wherever they go.
Don't take me for a fool because I'm not the man I used to be
Reiterating personal growth and rejecting previous perceptions of foolishness.
In time you'll find yourself in me for free
Reassuring that the partner will find warmth and comfort over time.
So take it from the start, you could find feelings in your heart
Encouraging the partner to explore their emotions from the beginning.
You'll still be strong and you'll be certain of yourself
Promoting continued strength and self-assurance.
Oh, when I come back she'll be falling asleep
Anticipating a return and imagining the partner falling asleep.
Oh, but I'll push back into that cold summer breeze
Describing a challenging situation but expressing determination to face it.
Oh, when I come back she'll be falling asleep
Repeating the anticipation of the partner falling asleep upon return.
Oh, but I'll push back into that cold summer breeze
Reiterating determination to face challenges, symbolized by a cold summer breeze.
