Wez Traylor rocks! One day he ate pot brownies and called Zack and called Seth like 3 times telling them he wanted to start a band. Seth said cool but only if they toured and recorded all the time so that's what they're doing now.

They have songs about eating drugs and white people and various other subjects.

December 2012 is not the end of the world but is in fact when Keith Richards is gonna tell the world that the Rolling Stones are stepping down and Natural Child is the new best band in the world.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I don′t wanna fuck
You
But I got to

You took away the keys to my ride
You told me I could stay here tonight
You kiss me and you turn out the light
I'm hoping it′ll be alright

Well I don't wanna fuck
You
But I got to

Well you've got my number stored on your phone
You called me but I′m staying at home
Convinced me to take you out
But only cause my friends aren′t around

Well I don't wanna fuck
You
But I got to

Now you′re asking me to meet your dad
Now we're living at your parents pad

Fifteen minutes outside of town
I′ll do it, but I won't make a so

Overall Meaning

"Dogbite" by Natural Child is a song that explores the complexities of a casual sexual relationship. The lyrics reveal a sense of reluctance and ambivalence towards engaging in sexual acts with the person in question. The singer acknowledges that they don't desire a deeper emotional connection, expressing their lack of interest in pursuing a romantic relationship by stating, "Well I don't wanna fuck you, but I got to."

The song delves into the power dynamics within this relationship. The line "You took away the keys to my ride" suggests that the person being sung about has control and influence over the singer. Additionally, the mention of staying at the person's place for the night and being convinced to go out with them when their friends are not around highlights the singer's vulnerability and willingness to engage in the sexual encounter despite their reservations.

As the song progresses, it becomes increasingly evident that the situation is becoming more serious and complicated. The singer mentions being asked to meet the person's dad and living at their parents' house, signifying a significant level of commitment that the singer may not desire. Despite this, they express their willingness to accommodate these requests, indicating a sense of obligation or perhaps a desire to maintain the casual relationship without further emotional entanglement.

Overall, "Dogbite" portrays a nuanced exploration of a casual sexual relationship where the singer's desires and motivations are complex and contradictory.
