Dog Days
Surviving the Dog Days: Within Temptation's Powerful Journey
Lyrics
Waking in the dead of night
Experiencing awakening during the night
Hold onto this life
Clutching onto one's life
Running to what's wrong or right
Running towards decisions of right or wrong
Seems to be a thin line
Highlighting the delicate boundary between choices
Fighting for a wasted love
Engaged in a battle for a love that seems wasted
Fighting to survive
Fighting for survival
Oh won't you please forget
Requesting to forget something
Won't you please forget
Reiterating the plea to forget
These are the dog days
Emphasizing the enduring and challenging nature of the difficult times (dog days)
These are the dog days
-They'll never go away
-These are the dog days
-These are the dog days
-They'll never go away
-1, 2, 3, 4
Prompting action, questioning what someone is waiting for
What are you waiting for?
-1, 2, 3, 4
-What are you waiting for?
-These are the dog days
Reiterating the persistent and challenging nature of the dog days
These are the dog days
-Waking in the dead of night
Repeating the themes of the initial lines, underlining the struggles and the plea to forget
Hold onto this life
-Running to what's wrong or right
-Seems to be a thin line
-Fighting for a wasted love
-Fighting to survive
-Oh won't you please forget
-Won't you please forget
-These are the dog days
Reiterating the enduring and unending aspect of the dog days
These are the dog days
-They'll never go away
-These are the dog days
-These are the dog days
-They'll never go away
-1, 2, 3, 4
Repeated questioning, urging action
What are you waiting for?
-1, 2, 3, 4
-What are you waiting for?
-These are the dog days
Reiterating the persistent and challenging nature of the dog days
These are the dog days
-Embracing the heart
Exploring the theme of embracing the heart, facing loss, and the realization of continuous challenges
To find the loss
-Running down a path that
-I think i need to know
-When you've think you've won
-You're still losing after all
-These are the dog days
Emphasizing the enduring and challenging nature of the dog days
These are the dog days
-These are the dog days
-These are the dog days
-They'll never go away
-These are the dog days
-These are the dog days
-They'll never go away
-1, 2, 3, 4
Repeating the questioning, emphasizing the need for action
What are you waiting for?
-1, 2, 3, 4
-What are you waiting for?
-These are the dog days
Reiterating the persistent and challenging nature of the dog days
These are the dog days
