Ten Dead Dogs seems intensely personal, but several of the concepts are ambiguous enough that you can dive in for your own catharsis. I'm stunned by the depth of the lyric "Belief, believe in me, cause I don't know if reason's ever gonna see why love would come to die, to leave."! I love hearing a song that is honest about a struggle in faith/meaning. Too often, people seem to get this area of their psyche all sewn up in one direction or the other and stop asking the really relevant questions. Does anyone have any thoughts about what's going on in the third verse? Also, I am wondering if the selection of "purple" is coincidental to the association purple has with royalty and the color of robes in which the Roman soldiers dressed Christ.
