Interrupted
Lambchop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Across the street
To a grassy space
Between the buildings
Watching your shadow
Cast by the street light
It does appear
As if you're tapping
An ash into a puddle
Made from the urine
Of the dogs
It is very cold
And with the coldness
Comes a quiet
Interrupted
By a sound
The lyrics to Lambchop's song Interrupted could be interpreted in various ways. One possible interpretation is that the singer is taking their dogs for a walk and stopping in a grassy area between buildings. The use of the phrase "watching your shadow cast by the street light" suggests that there is another person with the singer on this walk, but we are not given any further details. The use of the word "Interrupted" in the last line of the song suggests that whatever peace or tranquility the singer felt on this walk is disrupted by a sound, but again we are not given any details about what that sound might be.
There is an eerie feeling to the song, despite its otherwise mundane subject matter. The description of the puddle made from the urine of the dogs is not necessarily pleasant, but it is a detail that helps to ground the listener in the physical reality of the scene. The use of the phrase "It is very cold" similarly provides a sensory detail that can help the listener to feel as though they are there with the singer on this walk. Additionally, the detail about the shadow being cast by the street light adds a layer of intrigue to the song - why is the person's shadow tapping? - but again, we are given no answers.
Overall, the lyrics to Interrupted create a vivid and oddly unsettling picture of a mundane moment in time. It is up to the listener to decide what to make of this scene and the emotions it evokes.
Line by Line Meaning
Taking the dogs
Bringing along the canine companions
Across the street
Traveling to the other side of the road
To a grassy space
Heading to an area of greenery
Between the buildings
In the midst of structures
Watching your shadow
Observing the silhouette created by the lighting
Cast by the street light
Formed by the illumination on the road
It does appear
It seems as though
As if you're tapping
Like you're tapping
An ash into a puddle
Disposing ash into a pooled liquid
Made from the urine
Consisting of the bodily fluid
Of the dogs
Belonging to the canines
It is very cold
The temperature is significantly low
And with the coldness
Accompanied by the frigid climate
Comes a quiet
Results in a noiselessness
Interrupted
Briefly disturbed
By a sound
Due to the presence of an audible wave

“Interrupted” é a primeira faixa do álbum What Another Man Spills (1998) Como em todos os outros que dele por aqui tenho, também este não tem letras… Vai assim, pensando para consigo, como quem passeia o cão:
Taking the dogs

To a grassy space
Between the buildings
Watching your shadow
Cast by the street light
It does appear
As if you're tapping
An ash into a puddle
Made from the urine
Of the dogs
It is very cold
And with the coldness
Comes a quiet
