Days Like Lost Dogs
Christian Leave Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A violent season's
Coming back again
You pick your fingers
To chew off the skin

If you wanted to leave
I think that I could understand
Under change of belief
I have formed a different man

Take what you want when you need
Never check down just to see
If I've given up myself or I've fallen into hell
Have I met the end and seen the wrath of he?
Answer me

This violent picture is
Coming back again
I mash my fingers
Under the heat of the plan

If I wanted to leave
No grace would fall on me
Under severed belief
I have formed a different man

Do you take what you want when you need?
Do you ever check down just to see?
If I've given up myself or I've fallen into hell
Have I met the end and seen the wrath of he?
Answer me
Answer me

Do you take what you want when you need?
Do you ever check down just to see?
If I've given up myself or I've fallen into hell




Have I met the end and seen the wrath of he?
Answer me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Christian Leave's Days Like Lost Dogs paint a picture of a violent and tumultuous season that is returning once again. The first verse speaks of the anxiety and self-destructiveness that comes with this type of season by noting how the singer picks at their fingers until they bleed. The second verse speaks to the possibility of leaving during this time, but also highlights the changes that occur during these periods of chaos. The chorus asks a series of questions about whether or not the other person in the relationship is taking what they want and if they have given themselves up or fallen into a metaphorical hell.


The repetition in the chorus drives the point home that the cycle of violence and chaos is ongoing and never-ending. The lyrics highlight the negative outcomes and choices that come with tumultuous times but also suggest that these periods can lead to growth and transformation. The name "Days Like Lost Dogs" could refer to the feeling of being lost and searching for security and safety, much like a lost dog roaming the streets.
