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.
this song is AWETHOME!!!!!
