Dogs
Solid I.V. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Riding an eternal train like rolling stones
The sound of hell raising yeah it keeps us alive
The sense of having ourselves a motherflashing night time
Won't you follow us, won't you explode tonight?
Tell me baby it's not just a fuckin' fright
Won't you come with us, won't you gain your prize?
Tell me baby it's all not drifting away
Ready to get mean, ready to get fucking high
Nostrils move, our preys smell so damn great
Time to show some blazing guns and Elvis shakes
Won't you follow us, won't you explode tonight?
Tell me baby it's not just a fuckin' fright
Won't you come with us, won't you gain your prize?
Tell me baby it's all not drifting away
The lyrics to Solid I.V.'s song "Dogs" can be seen as a commentary on poverty, hunger, and the lengths people will go to survive. The first verse describes the singer's upbringing on a farm where they could only afford to eat dog food. This is a striking image, as dogs are typically seen as pets and companions, not a source of sustenance. The second verse suggests that the singer still eats dog food as an adult, but only because they dislike other healthy foods like eggplant and brussel sprouts. This could be interpreted as the singer's continued struggle with poverty or personal preferences.
The chorus suggests that dog food is a versatile and nutritious food option that can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age or gender. The sarcastic tone of the chorus suggests that the singer is fully aware of the ridiculousness of the idea that dog food could be a desirable food item. The inclusion of specific brands of dog food like Alpo, Kibble, and Purina adds to the absurdity of the lyrics.
Overall, "Dogs" is a satirical song that uses the image of dog food to comment on larger issues like hunger, poverty, and societal expectations around food choices.
Line by Line Meaning
When I was young, in the good old days on the farm
During my youth, in a past era of living on a farm
All I ate was dog food
The only sustenance I consumed was food intended for canines
All the poor dogs whimper and they would yelp as I smiled and chewed
The unfortunate canines would make distressing sounds while I audibly expressed enjoyment while eating their food
Dog food! A whole meal for a nickel
Canine cuisine, obtainable for just five cents, constituted an entire dish
Dog food! On some bread with a pickle
One could enjoy the dog food atop a slice of bread, perhaps accompanied by a pickle
Dog food! Garunteed to drive you hunger away
The dog food would certainly satisfy one's hunger
Dog food! Keeps a horse employed
Horse owners could utilize this form of sustenance for their animal's work requirements
Dog food! Good for girls and boys
Female and male children alike would appreciate the appeal of the dog food
Dog food! Most kids like it more than broccoli
It was common for children to prefer dog food over the vegetable broccoli
Nasty food I must plug my nose to swallow
This type of food is so distasteful, I have to cover my nostrils to ingest it
Because my mom's on probation
Due to my mother's legal status, this was the only available option for sustenance
Eggplant, brussel sprouts go down and come out
These produce items are unpleasant to swallow and unpleasant to expel during digestion
Nothing goes down smooth like Ken-L-Ration
In stark contrast, Ken-L-Ration dog food was easily ingested and processed in the digestive system
Alpo! Kibble! Iams! Purina! Milkbone! Soupbone! Horse meat! Yeah!
I enthusiastically endorse various brand names and products for canine consumption, including horse meat

Can we take a minute to respect whoever added subtitles for a 7-hour video
@hammerbro1947
I respect that. Looks professional looking too. :) Couldn't be the only one who done the captions.
@Derf360
Respect granted mate. They even get two salutes from big boss snake and one from old snake.

Dakota Thompson Hey man..is MGS phantom ghost as good as this game..I’m only asking you because you’re the most recent comment i see
@thepurist8353
@@kingdrosive4102 definitely. Cheap as well.
@randomgayguyman
@@kingdrosive4102 phantom pain. And no, I don't regard it as a metal gear game as such. It's incomplete, and playing the game will give you literal phantom pain, because of how awful it is, story wise. Gameplay is like an extremely in depth far cry, but the story is awful. Which is ridiculous for a metal gear game.

I love how every time something seemingly goes wrong for the antagonists in an MGS game, it’s always “part of the plan”
@PrincessTwilightdash
Jon Bourgoin I mean it sorta is
@theoneitself
Jon Bourgoin Metal gear is basically anime turned into a videogame
@tahamohammad8842
It’s kind of a problem because if just one thing happened to snake or raiden(in the case of sons of Liberty) then the entire plan would have failed completely.
