Working Dog
Working Dog's Quest: Navigating Life's Static
Lyrics
Colorful visions
Expressing imaginative and vivid thoughts
Anywhere but the present
Desiring to be anywhere other than the present moment
It's not a miracle
Highlighting that what's happening isn't a miracle
Just TV channel surfing
Engaging in passive activities like TV channel surfing
And the static climbs
Repetition emphasizing the increase of static, possibly symbolic of noise or interference
The static climbs
-The static climbs
-The static climbs
-I'm a working dog
Identifying as a diligent worker but feeling purposeless without a clear role
Without a farm
-I'll do my best to keep you
-Out of harm's way
-Without a job, I'll chew my arm
-Without a job, I'll chew my arm to the bone
-Carrying the planet
Metaphorically carrying the weight of the world, acknowledging the burden but finding purpose in it
Wearing it like a blanket
-Yeah, my shoulders are heavy
-But I'd float away without it
-And I'm no quitter
Expressing determination and perseverance
Where's the finish line
Searching for a finish line, possibly symbolizing the quest for completion or resolution
The finish line
-The finish line
-The finish line
-I'm a working dog
Reiteration of being a diligent worker without clear direction, willing to sacrifice for others
Without a farm
-I'll do my best to keep you
-Out of harm's way
-Without a job, I'll chew my arm
-Without a job, I'll chew my arm
-I'm a working dog
Continued expression of being a diligent worker without a defined purpose
Without a farm
-I'll do my best to keep you
-Out of harm's way
-Without a job, I'll chew my arm
-Without a job, I'll chew my arm
-Wish I could curl up by the fire
Expressing a desire for comfort, trust, and a carefree existence
Wish I could trust affectionate hands
-Wish I could float down the river
-With no body and no plans
-But the blood coursing inside of me
Conveying internal struggles and conflicts, dreams of potential threats and challenges
Calls fireworks artillery
-And quiet makes it worse, I dream
-Of cattle thieves
-Wolves coming for my sheep
-I'm a working dog
Affirmation of being a diligent worker seeking acknowledgment and appreciation
I'm a working dog
-Tell me I've done a good job
-I'm your working dog
