Dogs
HVOB Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've made your bed, now lie in it
I pull a leash on my dog
Let sleeping dogs lie
Let dogs lie
Let sleeping dogs lie

You're my servant boy
Handsome slave
Boy let the dogs sleep in that cave
Servant boy
Handsome slave
Be my shoe shine
Shoe shine, BOY
Boy made my shoe shine
Be my shoe shine
Shoe shine boy
Made my shoe shine
You're my servant boy
Handsome slave
Boy let the dogs sleep in that cave
Servant boy
Handsome slave
Boy let the dogs sleep in that cave
Made my shoe shine
Shoe shine boy
Made my shoes shine
Shoe shine boy
Made my shoe shine




Shoe shine boy
Made my shoe shine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of HVOB's song "Dogs" are open to interpretation, but there are a few themes that seem to emerge. The opening line, "You've made your bed, now lie in it," suggests that the singer is addressing someone who has made a mistake or a bad decision, and is now suffering the consequences of their actions. This is reinforced by the next line, "I pull a leash on my dog," which could be interpreted as the singer taking control of the situation, or punishing the person in some way.


The refrain, "Let sleeping dogs lie," repeats throughout the song, which suggests that the singer is trying to avoid stirring up any further trouble or conflict. This could be seen as an attempt to maintain the status quo and avoid making things worse.


The later verses introduce the idea of a "servant boy" or "handsome slave," which could be interpreted in various ways - it may be a metaphor for a relationship, or it could be a literal reference to the singer's circumstances. The repeated lines "Shoe shine boy, made my shoe shine" may reinforce this idea, as the singer seems to be focused on the servant's ability to perform a specific task. Overall, the song seems to explore themes of power dynamics, control, and the consequences of our actions.

@TheMarsalafruit

"Let sleeping Dogs lie" is a phrase originated by Chaucer around 1380 in Troilus and Criseyde, 'It is nought good a slepyng hound to wake'. It means that one shouldn't stir up a potentially difficult situation when it's best left alone
