Their band name derives from a slang term amongst bikers for a desirable ("boss") motorcycle ("hog"). The band achieved some notoriety, not only due to their punk and blues influenced sound, but moreso because of Martinez's use of full nudity on the band's debut live performance and record sleeves. A music video was also made in the mid-'90s for the song "I Dig You." Their releases are relatively sporadic, but comprised three full length albums, a mini-album, an EP and a number of singles in an 11 year history.
Walkin'
Boss Hog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll tell you my stories, string you my pearls
Dark in some corners, I've lost my way
Loosen your ties up, this is my house
Walk into my world, home of the brave
I don't feel you
Looking for somewhere to lay around
Crawl in the spaces, chew on some ice
Walk into my world, easy to break
I don't feel so
Slip into my room, hide in my bed
Close all the windows, learn to endure
See how it started, ten years ago
Walk in
Step in
Come in
I walk on my own grave
Dance and stomp and misbehave
No one stops me, no one dares
I mess up and I walk in
I walk in
Boss Hog's song "Walkin' in" explores the idea of inviting someone into their world while addressing the possibility of not understanding, or feeling, what the singer has been through. The opening lines "Walk into my world, see what you think / I'll tell you my stories, string you my pearls" suggest that the singer is willing to open up and share their experiences. However, the mention of "dark corners" and losing their way suggests that their world may not be an easy or pleasant one to navigate.
The chorus, "I don't feel you," can be interpreted in a few ways. It could suggest that the singer feels the person they are inviting in cannot understand or empathize with their experiences. Alternatively, it could suggest that the person they are inviting in is not showing any emotion or reaction to what they are being shown, making it hard for the singer to gauge whether they are connecting or not.
The lyrics "Slip into my room, hide in my bed / Close all the windows, learn to endure" suggest a need for privacy or solitude. Perhaps the singer has been through something traumatic and needs time to process it alone. The final lines "I walk on my own grave / Dance and stomp and misbehave / No one stops me, no one dares / I mess up and I walk in / I walk in" suggest a defiance or rebellion against what others may expect of them. They are confident in their ability to handle their own life and make their own choices.
Overall, "Walkin' in" explores themes of vulnerability, isolation, and defiance. The singer invites someone into their world but acknowledges the possibility of not being understood. The chorus reminds us that empathy is not always easy or automatic, and sometimes requires effort and understanding from both parties.
