Now i´m a space dog
If you promise to stay still
I won´t won´t bite
But if you cadle me,feed me
and pet me,
My edigree dosn´t worth your attention
The lyrics of Descartes A Kant's song Pedigree are filled with metaphorical and symbolic references that can be interpreted in different ways. One interpretation is that the singer is declaring their independence and willingness to break free from the conventional rules and norms of society. The phrase "ignore the gravity" can indicate a desire to escape the earthly constraints and limitations of the physical world. The line "now I'm a space dog" reinforces this idea by portraying the singer as a creature that has transcended the boundaries of the Earth and can now explore the vastness of the universe.
The next part of the chorus indicates a desire for connection and companionship, but only under specific conditions. The singer promises not to bite if the listener stays still, implying a fear of confrontation or rejection. However, the singer also warns that their pedigree (their background or social status) is not worth the listener's attention. This could suggest a rejection of the superficial judgments and distinctions that people make based on social class or other markers of identity. Finally, the singer promises to be a "great sucker," which could be interpreted as a sarcastic reference to their willingness to submit to the norms and expectations of others.
Overall, the song Pedigree seems to be a reflection on the tension between individuality and conformity in modern society. It suggests that there is a desire to break free from constraints and connect with others on a deeper level, but also a fear of rejection and a recognition that social status and other external markers of identity are often meaningless.
