Ten Wild Dogs
TYR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yesterday went away still you did not
Understand in the end we have to leave
Can't believe, can't believe, still I just can
Not believe that I would deceive and not
Try to leave from the web that you weave,
I have to
Kill my dogs my ten wild Dogs of desire
I've lost my guts my selfish mutts can see
Kill my dogs my dancing ten wild Dogs of desire
I've lost the leash and now they're after me
Let the beasts have a feast, let the hounds be released
Kill my dogs my ten wild Dogs of desire
I've lost my guts my selfish mutts can see
Kill my dogs my dancing ten wild Dogs of desire
I've lost the leash and now they're after me
It's too late to repent, left with nothing in the end, alone
There's no time for the rhyme I have to run
When I fall has it all been said and done
All I've seen in between makes it a life
For a life, for a life, still it just can
Not be right that I can not fight
For the dying light go into the night, I have to
Kill my dogs my ten wild Dogs of desire
I've lost my guts my selfish mutts can see
Kill my dogs my dancing ten wild Dogs of desire
I've lost the leash and now they're after me
Let the beasts have a feast, let the hounds be released
Kill my dogs my ten wild Dogs of desire
I've lost my guts my selfish mutts can see
Kill my dogs my dancing ten wild Dogs of desire
I've lost the leash and now they're after me
It's too late to repent, left with nothing in the end, alone
The lyrics of Týr's song "Ten Wild Dogs" describe a situation where the singer realizes that he has been consumed by his own desires and must take drastic action to break free from their hold. The dogs in the song represent the singer's own impulsive and selfish tendencies that he must "kill" in order to regain control over his life. The chorus "Kill my dogs my ten wild Dogs of desire, I've lost my guts my selfish mutts can see" illustrates that the singer realizes the need to take responsibility for his actions and to stop allowing his natural impulses to lead him.
The line "It's too late to repent, left with nothing in the end, alone" portrays a sense of finality and regret as the singer is left with nothing as a result of his actions. The repetition of "I have to" throughout the song conveys a sense of urgency and necessity to take action before it's too late.
