Pig nose
Dried Cassava Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to steal your afternoon
They start to smile
The music runs trough your veins
The secrets begin to disappear
Blindfold your heart,
and stab a nickel dime to your watch
Cats and frogs them thieves of mind
Cause they never back down
I suppose to know you never gonna let me in
Well i try to ignore
But they never ever want it to go away
A day or two since they haven't show
Yet the fear left a stain
They do run after their first meal
Never back down for a spear
Let me know when the art show starts
I wanna know how they do so well
Blindfold your heart
Stab a golden watch
Cats and frogs them thieves of mind
Cause they never back down
I suppose to know you never gonna let me in
Well i try to ignore
But they never ever want it to go away
Is somebody out there wanna buy my pig nose?
You can have what i have to see how am i doing
I need another glass to see what path should i take
How was i suppose to know what's in your mind
Cats and frogs them thieves of mind!
The lyrics to Dried Cassava's song "Pig Nose" deal with themes of intrusion, manipulation, and the loss of personal agency. The opening lines, "They open the door to your mind / Try to steal your afternoon," suggest an external force attempting to infiltrate and take control of the listener's thoughts and actions. The use of the phrase "cats and frogs," typically harmless animals, as "thieves of mind" highlights the insidious nature of this force.
The song also touches on resistance and frustration in the face of this invasion, with the lyrics "I suppose to know you never gonna let me in / Well I try to ignore / But they never ever want it to go away" expressing a sense of helplessness and persistent struggle. The references to blindfolding one's heart and stabbing a watch further emphasize the loss of autonomy, with the watch representing a symbol of time and the ability to make choices.
The lines "Is somebody out there wanna buy my pig nose? / You can have what I have to see how am I doing" are perhaps the most enigmatic in the song. It could be interpreted as a metaphor for selling one's identity or sense of self to satisfy external expectations or desires. The final repetition of "Cats and frogs them thieves of mind" serves as a stark warning against giving into these external forces and losing oneself completely.
