Lyrics
The cows have all come home
The cows have returned to their home.
The shape of things to come
Indicating a preview of the future events or developments.
The truth has not been told
The truth has not been revealed.
Because it don't hold.
Because it lacks substance or validity.
The cows are making love
Cows are engaging in sexual activity.
They'll leave when they are done
They will depart once finished.
Asleep and on the ground
They are in a state of sleep on the ground.
Without a sound
Silently and without noise.
I want to wake up and never dream
Expressing a desire to wake up and avoid dreaming.
I want to leave out the memory
Expressing a wish to omit certain memories.
Left in the rain and it won't corrode
Objects left in the rain won't decay.
Don't make me exit the afterglow
Request not to end the positive feeling after an event.
The sheep are Styrofoam
Sheep are compared to Styrofoam, possibly suggesting fragility or conformity.
They'll go where they are told
Sheep follow instructions.
They eat what they are sold
They consume what is offered to them.
Because they don't know
Due to lack of awareness.
I want to wake up and never dream
Reiteration of the desire to avoid dreaming.
I want to leave out the memory
Reiteration of the desire to forget certain memories.
Left in the rain and it won't corrode
Rain doesn't corrode memories left behind.
Don't make me exit the afterglow
Request not to end the positive feeling after an event.
A human stampede
Reference to a human stampede, suggesting chaos or uncontrolled actions.
The cows have all gone home
The cows have returned home.
Their bones are made of stone
Their bones are described as stone, possibly indicating strength or resilience.
Collectively or one, they will all run.
Whether collectively or individually, the cows will run.
And we've been followed home
The speaker has been followed home, suggesting a sense of pursuit or scrutiny.
We go where we are told
Humans follow instructions.
We eat what we are sold
Humans consume what is offered to them.
Because we don't know
Due to lack of awareness.
I want to wake up
Reiteration of the desire to wake up and avoid dreaming.
