Dog Days
Hollywood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Hollywood's song Dog Days seem to be a social commentary on the idea of freedom and how it is actually just an illusion. The first line, "Do you expect us to believe that this is actually free?" questions the notion of freedom being something that is truly attainable without any consequences or sacrifices. The following line "Because everything you see, and everything you breathe has been paid for" suggests that everything has a price and someone somewhere has already paid for it.
The next few lines "It's all been fought for. We've seen the darkest days, and walked the long way home," talk about the struggles and sacrifices made by generations before us to give us the illusion of freedom. The repetition of "nothings changed, still nothings changed," suggests that despite all the efforts, we are still stuck in the same system and the same struggles. The line "We've come so far, but we're still nowhere" reinforces this idea of stagnation.
The concluding line "And for the good life, we'll have a good fight" seems to suggest that despite everything, we still have to fight for the good life and freedom. Overall, the lyrics seem to be a call to action to people to question the system and to fight for actual freedom rather than just settle for an illusion of it.

It's all been fought for.
Everything we have wasn't gained effortlessly; people have fought for it to exist.
We've seen the darkest days, and walked the long way home.
We've endured our fair share of trials and tribulations, but we've managed to make it home despite the hardships.
Nothings changed, still nothings changed.
Despite our struggles and efforts, we still find ourselves in the same rut.
