Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

The lyrics of the song "Dogs" by Hvob are quite enigmatic and somewhat deep. The phrase "You've made your bed, now lie in it" suggests that someone has made a mistake or a wrong decision and now must face the consequences. The following lines "I pull a leash on my dog, Let sleeping dogs lie, Let dogs lie, Let sleeping dogs lie" may indicate the desire to maintain a certain level of control or discipline over oneself and others. The reference to dogs implies that some people may need to be restrained or kept in check, much like dogs are put on a leash to prevent them from roaming too far or causing harm.
The second part of the song shifts the focus to a "servant boy" or a "handsome slave" who is asked to perform certain tasks like shining shoes. The repeated expression "Made my shoe shine" could be interpreted in a literal sense, as a request to clean the singer's footwear or in a more metaphoric way, as a symbol of submission and servitude.
Overall, the lyrics of "Dogs" can be seen as a commentary on power dynamics, control, and authority. It raises questions about hierarchy, obedience, and the limits of individual freedom. Through its ambiguous and repetitive phrases, the song encourages the listener to reflect on their own relationship with authority and the role they play in upholding or challenging the status quo.

"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
