I think this song is in the theme of Frankenstein's Monster.
It put's me in mind of secret russian underground military lab, experiments include transplanting the head of one dog onto the whole body of another so you have a two-headed dog... Twice the bark (and bite).
And Roky's been working on this dog for a long time, and so your mind begins to spiral into what's right and wrong about messing with nature this way? What's real? What's god? Victor Von Frankenstein type of torment, etc.
If we can just glue a head of one dog onto the body of another then, like, WTF?!?!?
@v24jf There's an actual photo of an experiment like that, smaller dog's head and forequarters grafted onto the shoulders of another dog. They apparently lived like that for a day or two. It's a horrible, haunting image that still messes me up when I call it to mind.

I think Roky must have seen the same image and been profoundly affected by it - everyone who knew him well describes a sweet, childlike nature, and his mind took some weird twists and turns - it was part of his genius as well as his burden.

I agree it's a...
I agree it's a Frankenstein scenario, visceral horror but worse - these were living dogs, not corpses. There's outrage, and a profound anguish. Also a sense of triumph at being able to question the guy ("Did you dry her out
Wind her out like jerky?") Something I would say to the guy who did it just prior to knocking his teeth into the back of his throat.

I think Roky nailed it.
