Cow
Melvins Lyrics

The lyrics to Melvins's song Cow are abstract and open to interpretation. One possible interpretation is that the song is about the duality of human nature, and how we can exhibit a range of emotions and behaviors. The first line, "Cause I can level," could imply that the singer is in control and able to maintain a sense of balance or equanimity. However, the next line, "I can miss a low loaded," suggests that the singer is fallible and can make mistakes. The third line, "And I know it like a hunter sang bow said," adds to the theme of duality, with the image of a hunter who can both kill and protect.

The final line, "Cause I can low like a hundred well dole and/Till my below is like a heart-kissin' man," is perhaps the most enigmatic. "Low" could mean to be humble or submissive, which would connect to the idea of being fallible earlier in the song. "Dole" could mean to distribute or divide, which raises questions about what is being divided or shared. The reference to a "heart-kissin' man" is also perplexing, but it could signify someone who is full of love and compassion.
