Eraserheads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please, a getcha your head out of the loo
Please, and we're a long, long way from home
Please, you'd turn a young man's face to stone
Sick as a dog, what's your story
Sick as a dog, a cat got your tongue
Sick as a dog, you'll be sorry
Sick as a dog, you're really ain't that young
Please, you're the lady in disguise
Please, you're the only a friend I got
Please, you'll be the last to see me rot
Sick as a dog, what's your story
Sick as a dog, uum cat got your tongue
Sick as a dog, you'll be sorry
Sick as a dog, 'cause ya really ain't that young
Please, it's a shame you're so refined
Please, you was the last thing on my mind
Please, don't be late to take it light
Please, you're gonna fade into the night
Sick as a dog, what's your story
Sick as a dog, uum cat got your tongue
Sick as a dog, you'll be sorry
Sick as a dog, 'cause you really ain't so young
Take it light
Take it light
Take it light
Take it light
Say goodnight
Take it light
The song "Andalusian Dog" by the Filipino band, Eraserheads, has a curious mix of unconventional and surreal lyrics that seem to defy interpretation. The opening lines, "Please, I just got to talk to you, Please, a getcha your head out of the loo," may suggest an urgent message from the singer to someone who is preoccupied with something trivial or harmful. The repetition of the word "Please" creates an impression of begging or pleading, as if the singer is trying to reach out to someone who is unwilling or unable to listen. The next line, "We're a long, long way from home," could be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's disorientation or alienation in their current situation. The line "you'd turn a young man's face to stone" adds a sense of danger or threat to the situation.
The chorus, "Sick as a dog, what's your story" reinforces the idea that something is wrong or off about the situation. The phrase "sick as a dog" implies an illness or discomfort, while "what's your story" suggests a need for clarification or explanation. The line "you're really ain't that young" adds a hint of sarcasm or skepticism to the singer's words.
The rest of the lyrics contain a mix of enigmatic lines that seem to revolve around themes of identity, friendship, and mortality. The phrases "you're the lady in disguise," and "you'll be the last to see me rot" suggests a sense of hidden or suppressed identity. The line "Please, don't be late to take it light, Please, you're gonna fade into the night" could be interpreted as an admonition to live life fully and not take things too seriously. Overall, the song creates a distinct atmosphere of confusion, disorientation, and existential angst.
