Dogs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I tell you that it don't me much to me
And nothing comes for free
So it goes all day
And into the night
Don't you know we're just bound to fuss and fight you see
You don't listen to me
I've got eyes
I've got all my senses to keep me wise
Hold your tears tell no lies
I'll be long gone by the time you said goodbye
You know me
I get way out of line
I tell you this is just wastin my time
But don't go
Cause we've got nothing to show
So it goes all day almost every night
The shadows grow darker and in the light of the clear day
I wish you'd hear me say

The song "Gone Gone Gone" by The Dogs is about a relationship where the two individuals are constantly fighting, and one person is not listening to the other. The first verse starts with the girl telling the guy that he is out of touch, and he responds that it does not matter to him, which indicates that he is not invested in the relationship. The following lines talk about how nothing comes for free, and they spend the entire day and night fighting with each other. He wishes that she would listen to him but she doesn't. The second verse is him telling her that he has all his senses and knows what is happening. He asks her not to cry or lie, and he will be long gone by the time she says goodbye. He admits that he gets out of line and that their relationship is a waste of time.
In the chorus, he says that they are both gone, gone, gone and they need to get along, long, long. This line represents their relationship and how they both are at fault, and neither of them is trying to fix it. He is trying to tell her that they should try to make it work, and they will both benefit from it.
Overall, the song has a sad theme, and the lyrics are an insight into a crumbling relationship. The writer emphasizes that they are not getting along and are losing each other as a result.
