Straw Dog Lyrics
this song is AWETHOME!!!!!
The song Straw Dog is all about taking chances and trying new things. It describes a girl who feels as if her life is going nowhere and just wants to take a risk. In stanza one, the lines “she thinks she can fly and she just might” creates a bold lyrical tone. The song continues with the narrator explaining how this girl would prefer to just disappear from the face of the earth, or better said, “to burn out like a torch.” In stanza three, the song reveals its theme, which is take advantage of the opportunities you have in...
The song Straw Dog is all about taking chances and trying new things. It describes a girl who feels as if her life is going nowhere and just wants to take a risk. In stanza one, the lines “she thinks she can fly and she just might” creates a bold lyrical tone. The song continues with the narrator explaining how this girl would prefer to just disappear from the face of the earth, or better said, “to burn out like a torch.” In stanza three, the song reveals its theme, which is take advantage of the opportunities you have in life because you do not know what the future will bring. The song has both a carefree musical and lyrical. The lyrics repeat “hey now, there’s chemicals in the clouds but they won’t get to us anyhow.” The second to last stanza asks what it takes to be a superhero in this world. I interpreted this line to be figurative. It means that not every one is perfect and you can’t always succeed, as superheroes are perceived to do. I also felt it was ironic how the song talked about starting a new life, but by the end of the song a vibe of not succeeding came across. This is because usually when people start fresh, a positive outcome turns out. Last of all, I inferred the straw dog listed various times as something made only to be destroyed. This explains the pessimistic vibe of the last couple of stanzas.
lol yeah thats wat I fink!! :) And so does my m8, Craig. I got the cd shipped over 2 England 2day and its brill. Does ne1 know when they r touring over here again?
I put this song on a CD I made today. So, everyone should do that now. Go on...
what is a straw dog?? can someone please tell me what this song means
this song is pretty much about talking about a girl, that justs wants to do whatever she wants and to be free.. she thinks if she doesnt get the chance to do things then she never will in the future.
yeah, love the song, specially: "She doesn't have a flame she'd prefer to burn out like a torch" love it. But yeah, lke the person above.. what actually is a straw dog?
I definitely agree with the two people above... I think she could very well also feel alone and like she isn't going to get anywhere, or at least that's how people see her... maybe by straw dog they mean something fake? It doesn't really fit with the song, but it's my best guess..
i love this song so much! The whole second verse that starts with "jessica" could totally relate to me... hey i got the new cd rite now and im listening to it rite now IT KICKS ASS GO OUT AND BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!! :-D
yes i agree this cd rules...nice and mellow/relaxing.
"what does it take to be a superhero in my world? Make no mistake that these villains always get the girl." classic line that is my life story
