Nod about the mutt line. What better would signify the craziness of the singer than the fact the guy thinks his dog is ACTUALLY laughing at him? But it is not necessarily the case that the one that leaves is a mutt. I get giggles flip-flopping the meaning between that of a friend or lover and that of a real mutt: a dog. It seems like a bit of a “conceptual illusion” (my words), much akin to those dual faced “optical illusions”, some examples of which I can think of is one where you either see a rabbit or a duck, and another where one sees either dolphins or lovers in the act. While obviously many songs contain entities with dual meanings (otherwise, why would songmeanings.net exist?) This one seems to be such a tease that its worth noting. It is in a song about the point of insanity, and one may feel as they’re going insane flip flopping through the two meanings. This search for meaning and the resulting ambiguity is a perfect complement to the song.
