These Days
Dogs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Days so cold put on your balaclavas
Call the police oh what a palaver
I'll take the door love you take the safe
It's a perilous place but we don't care these days
Because stormy weather is bringing us together again
Just raise your eyes and see how much it's raining

And in all this rain
The room like lightning
With the blue lights flashing outside
Your face is pretty as astronomy
And if a bullet whistles
Like a poison kiss
Well I don't care these days

Now she's knee deep in fifty pound noted
While a slow red river runs sleepily over
We could have walked in the park in a cold eclipse
Had a go at each other like a tramp eating up his chips
But instead I raise my eyes to see how much I love you

And in all this rain
The room like magic
With the blue lights flashing outside
Your face is pretty as astronomy
And the bullet whistles
Like a poisen kiss
But I don't care these days

And in all this rain
The room like lightning
With the blue lights flashing outside
Your face is pretty as astronomy
And if a bullet whistles




Like a poison kiss
Well I don't care these days

Overall Meaning

The song "These Days" by Dogs is a melancholic reflection on the difficult decision to leave or stay in a situation. The lyrics express an uncertainty about what the future may hold, and the fear of missing out on something important. The first verse discusses a struggle to make a decision about staying or leaving, despite the fact that the lights are on and their friends are gone. This can be interpreted as a physical place or also as more of a metaphorical place in life. The decision seems to be a difficult one, and the singer is conflicted.


The second verse portrays the singer's discomfort in social situations, where they feel like they don't know anyone anymore and have nothing to contribute to the conversation. The line "Over and over I get impatient and angry" shows a sense of frustration with oneself, possibly suggesting a lack of self-confidence. The chorus repeats the same sentiment of feeling like nobody cares if the singer is there except for themselves, but that is enough. This suggests that even though others may not see their value, they still see it in themselves, which can be an empowering realization.


Overall, the song encapsulates a sense of uncertainty, discomfort, and introspection. It highlights the struggle of making difficult decisions and accepting one's own worth when it is not recognized by others.


Line by Line Meaning

I don't wanna waste time
I don't want to spend any more time on this


I don't wanna stay here
I don't want to be in this place anymore


Deciding whether we should stay or leave baby
We're in the process of deciding whether we should continue with this relationship or not


Why you wanna go now?
Why do you want to end this now?


I don't wanna go now
I don't want to leave this relationship now


Even though our friends are gone
Even though our mutual friends have moved on


And the lights are on
Even though the party is still going on


You keep saying nobody cares if I'm here except me
You keep telling me that the only person who cares about me being here is me


Well baby, that's enough
But that's all I need


I don't wanna let go
I don't want to end this relationship


People they get so old
People age and change over time


I hate when people say 'those were the days'
I dislike when people reminisce about the past and consider it better than the present


Well what are these then?
What makes these days any worse than the past?


I really should have stayed home
I regret not staying at home instead of going out


So many people I don't really know anymore
There are many people here that I used to know, but no longer have a connection with


And I got nothing to say but I don't know
I have nothing to contribute to the conversation except my lack of knowledge


I just get so bored
I'm becoming increasingly disinterested and unengaged in this situation


Over and over I get impatient and angry
Repetitively, I become irritable and frustrated


When I feel like I've gone soft
When I feel like I've become weaker or less resilient


It's such a drag, I just get dumber and dumber
It's such a burden, I become more and more unintelligent


I can't talk, I can't talk.
I am unable to communicate or express myself


Even though my friends are gone and the music's off
Despite the fact that our mutual friends have left and the party has ended
