Taming the Wild Heart: Love's Dance with the Mad Dog
Lyrics
Down! Down! Down! Mad dog! Down!
Command to bring down the metaphorical "mad dog" within.
Down! Down! Down! Mad dog! Down!
Reiteration of the command to subdue the inner turmoil or conflict.
She loves the mad dog in my heart
Reference to the intense emotions within, represented as a "mad dog."
She doesn't love me
Expressing that the external love is absent.
She loves to see it chase its tail
She finds enjoyment in witnessing inner struggles or emotional chaos.
When she touches me
Her physical touch triggers the metaphorical "mad dog" within.
She loves to tease it
She takes pleasure in provoking and playing with inner turmoil.
She loves to make it bark

She loves to keep it chained up inside my heart

Mad dog howls when she goes away
The "mad dog" metaphorically howls when she is not present.
What are you doing to that poor dog I hear the neighbours say
Neighbors express concern about the emotional turmoil symbolized by the "mad dog."
I have to wait for her to calm him down
Waiting for her return to calm the emotional turmoil.
'Cause when I say "Mad dog, down!" he just growls
Difficulty in controlling the inner turmoil when she is away.
