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!
