The Dog in Me
Chisel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just remember that our deal is still intact.
'Cause I know that you won't forget,
And you know I'm a Virgo, don't you know.
And I'm a dog and I can't let it go-go-go.
So some day when you wake up, and you want to try, and make it fact,
Skip September, boy, and go get in the act.
I'm trying to touch that sound. Its buzzing without a ground.
And every Fall I get down with my knees on the ground,
The Untouchable sound is one year older.
And every September, Lord I remember how to get it together when I'm over.
I'm trying to touch that sound. It's nothing without a ground.
One-hundred and forty-nine pounds.
"The Dog in Me" is a song by Australian rock band Chisel. The lyrics address the idea of memory and how it can keep us tied to past experiences and emotions, even when we try to move on. The song begins with a reminder that tomorrow, the emotions and feelings experienced in the moment may be forgotten, but the deal between two people will remain. The lead singer then goes on to reference his astrological sign as a Virgo, and how his stubbornness and loyalty make him like a dog who cannot let go of something once they have it. As the song progresses, the singer discusses the desire to achieve a certain sound and how each year, he strives to make progress and improve.
The lyrics of the song are open to interpretation and can be applied to many different situations. The idea of memory and how it affects our emotions and actions is a universal topic that many people can relate to. Additionally, the mention of astrological signs and animalistic tendencies adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to the song. Overall, "The Dog in Me" is a song about holding onto the past, the desire to improve, and the nature of memory and loyalty.
