Year Of The Dog
Year of the Dog: Embracing Life Amidst Chaos
Lyrics
Time tells butterfat lies
Time metaphorically deceives with smooth untruths.
Sweet lousy cupcakes of lies
Deceptive sweetness resembling cupcakes.
I'll comply and I shall play along
Willing to comply and go along with deception.
I was born in the year of the dog
Birth reference to the Chinese zodiac, year of the dog.
And the blue black tattoo, it crawled up my arm
A tattoo, possibly symbolic, creeping up the arm.
Scribbled vines crawling my arm
Imagery of vines scribbled on the arm.
[Incomprehensible] rose up and it cried an alarm
An indistinct reference to something rising with an alarm.
Sounded alarming alarms
Alarming sounds and events.
And laid on the lawn and the dawns
Relaxing on the lawn as the morning warms up.
Of the morning got warm
Morning warmth after dawn.
Queer fear in severe clear
Anxiety in a clear and severe atmosphere.
Scrunch your fat face like a doll
Facial expression resembling a scrunched-up doll.
I got made in a candy floss smog
Made in an environment with the characteristics of candy floss smog.
I was born in the year of the dog
Reiteration of being born in the year of the dog.
And I drove in my car where the hills stand to shore
Driving to the shore where hills meet the sea.
Over and down to the shore
Traveling over and down to the shore.
Then I threw out my dreams, so I'd dream them no more
Discarding dreams to avoid dreaming them.
Drown them and dream them no more
Choosing not to drown in dreams anymore.
Then I sat and I stared at the waves
Observing waves while sitting.
From my primer gray Ford
Viewing waves from a specific car, a primer gray Ford.
And I'm listless and lost and I cry all the time
Feeling directionless and constantly crying.
Lost and I cry all the time
Continued sense of being lost and crying.
And I felt just the same, though I chuffed up a line
Despite drug use, emotions remain unchanged.
High but I felt just the same
Similar emotional state despite altered consciousness.
And the steam from my cup, a girl loved
Steam forming a message, possibly a name of a loved girl.
And it spelled out her name
The steam spells out the name of the loved girl.
