Would
Queens of Dogtown Lyrics

The lyrics to Queens of Dogtown's "Would" seem to be about the idea of making mistakes and trying to see things from a different perspective. The opening line, "Know me, broken by my master," could suggest a sense of feeling controlled or manipulated by a person or situation. The next line, "Teach thee on child of love hereafter," implies a desire for a more loving and positive future, but the phrase is archaic sounding and could suggest a certain ambiguity or lack of clarity about how to achieve that goal.

The repetition of the line "Into the flood again, same old trip it was back then" suggests a cyclical pattern of behavior or thought that the singer is struggling to break out of. The line "So I made a big mistake, try to see it once my way" could indicate a desire to take responsibility and step outside of that pattern, even though it may be difficult or uncomfortable to do so.

The last section of the song seems to be a reflection on the current state of things, with the questions "Am I wrong? Have I run too far to get home? Have I gone? Left you here alone?" suggesting a sense of uncertainty and doubt. The final line, "If I would, could you?" seems to be a plea for understanding or forgiveness, but the conditional tense ("If I would") suggests that the singer may not believe it's possible.
