Dead Dog's Howl
Two Witches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Two Witches's song Dead Dog's Howl describe a haunting and eerie feeling that anyone can relate to. The first stanza describes an unusual sound that one might hear on a cold winter's night - the whispers of the ice. As the wind blows, the snow seems to yell, adding to the sense of unease. The second stanza asks if the listener has ever dared to venture out into the dark, where the howling bark of a dead dog can be heard. The final stanza paints a picture of the ominous environment - black ice, a cold sky, a red light indicating a final battle before death.
The chorus of "red light, the last fight, here you must die" reinforces the haunting feeling described in the rest of the lyrics. This line evokes the feeling of despair that may come with facing one's own mortality. The song's title, "Dead Dog's Howl," may refer to the auditory hallucinations that some people may experience while suffering from hypothermia. These hallucinations can be quite vivid and include voices, screams, and other eerie sounds.
