Hair Of The Dog Lyrics
The man who was mortally wounded in war
Kept on fighting
The man who was cut to the quick by love
Kept on loving
The man who was merciless tortured by thoughts
Kept on thinking
The man who was crippled with concern
Kept on caring
Hair of the dog
Hair of the dog
Hair of the dog that turned
Hair of the dog
The man whose eyes were sore from obscenities
Kept on looking
The man whose heart bled, killed by compassion
Kept on feeling
The man whose legs buckled under exertion
Kept on running
The man whose ears burned to the sound of his own name
Kept on listening
Hair of the dog
Hair of the dog
Hair of the dog that turned
Hair of the dog
Kept on fighting
The man who was cut to the quick by love
Kept on loving
The man who was merciless tortured by thoughts
Kept on thinking
The man who was crippled with concern
Kept on caring
Hair of the dog
Hair of the dog that turned
Hair of the dog
Kept on looking
The man whose heart bled, killed by compassion
Kept on feeling
The man whose legs buckled under exertion
Kept on running
The man whose ears burned to the sound of his own name
Kept on listening
Hair of the dog
Hair of the dog that turned
Hair of the dog

Perhaps this song refers to stopping something that is against your morals or something that just goes against you. Like stopping something that you dont want to do that you are doing for other people, because it says "hair of the dog that turned' and i think its symbolism because a dog is depicted as a loyal animal and turning perhaps means rebelling.
A folk remedey for as rabid dog bite was to place the hair of the dog that bit you into the wound. People also say this phrase went treating a hangover with more alcohol. These men are using what hurt them to treat the pain

Man who was hungover from alcohol, kept on drinking!
Man who was hungover from alcohol, kept on drinking!
this song reminds me of jacob's ladder
love this song, it makes you think about how strong YOU can be too if all these other people are continuing the fight despite their difficulties and limitations, they don't let that stop them.
"Hair of the Dog" is an expression for curing a hangover by having another drink.
So the song's about dealing with physical or emotional torture by going back and subjecting yourself to even more.
