Stray Dogs
Unbridled Spirits: Pink Flamingos' Anthem of Freedom and Solitude
Lyrics
Loyal to no one and face in the dirt
Loyalty is nonexistent, and the individual is metaphorically facedown in the dirt.
Thin meat packages of bleak anger, fear and mistrust
The person is described as a meager package containing emotions of bleak anger, fear, and mistrust.
Stay dark stay down, stay crazy stay obscure and lost
The imperative to remain in darkness, obscurity, and madness, emphasizing a sense of being lost.
Hunted everyday, then forgotten and left to die in the dusk
Subjected to daily pursuit, ultimately forgotten and abandoned to perish in the fading light.
No cages no more, only hunger to ignore
No confinement remains, only the urge to ignore the persistent hunger.
Your chin in the air, your deep black eyes
Depiction of a proud stance with deep black eyes, suggesting resilience.
It's not the mindset, not the right mindset
Clarification that the issue is not about mindset, specifically the right mindset.
Running faster than the rising waters
Metaphor of running faster than rising waters, denoting resilience in the face of challenges.
Never complaining in the winter's bone-breaking cold
Endurance without complaint in harsh, bone-breaking winter conditions.
You tasted that spirit good you can never get enough
Experiencing a profound and addictive taste of a positive spirit that can never be satiated.
Of all your days on this earth no one will ever remember
No lasting memory for all the days lived on earth.
We all die alone, you're the one not afraid
The inevitability of dying alone, with the individual being the exception—unafraid.
They like you better with a comfy collar
Preference for the person without a comfortable collar, implying a rejection of domestication.
They like you better
Reiteration of the preference for the individual without constraints.
One fight for every bit to swallow
Fighting for survival, with each victory accompanied by a bitter pill to swallow.
One scar for every night under trains
Each night under trains results in a visible scar, symbolizing the hardships faced.
I like you better out there in the wild
Expressing a preference for the individual thriving in the wild, away from societal constraints.
I like you better
Reiteration of the preference for the untamed, free existence.
