Dog Days Are Over Remix)
Florence the Machine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coming towards her, stuck, still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses, and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are over
The horses are coming
So you better run
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was left after that too, oh
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height
By someone who should know better than that
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
The lyrics to Florence + the Machine's song "Dog Days Are Over" paint a vivid picture of a woman's journey towards happiness and freedom. The first verse begins with a simile comparing happiness to a train on a track that hits her abruptly and relentlessly. She finds herself stuck without the ability to turn back, even though she wants to hide and escape from it. She contradicts her instinct and kills her fear with kisses, then ultimately flees from it. The second verse describes her journey towards liberation, where she advocates escaping and running towards her loved ones. She encourages her audience to leave behind their possessions and attachments and urges them to move on so they can "survive." She repeats the chorus, "The dog days are over," to emphasize the message of moving forward and not looking back.
The repeated phrase "The dog days are over" is a reference to the end of something difficult, often associated with the hottest days of summer when dogs pant heavily due to heat. It implies a sense of relief and freedom from the stress and heat of the season. Florence Welch, the lead singer and songwriter of Florence + the Machine, has described the song as being about the feeling of being "so happy that you become terrified because you know it's not going to last." She added that it represented a coming-of-age moment for her where she felt that she could overcome her circumstances.
The chorus of the song features a gospel-inspired sound with a strong backing choir that captures the emotion of the message. The use of strong symbols such as trains and horses, as well as the fast-paced tempo, provides the song with a powerful energy that builds towards the end. Overall, "Dog Days Are Over" conveys a message of optimism and hope that appeals to audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
