  • The meaning, to me, of 'Dog Days' is basically, she singing about how someone found happiness, but finds it unreal, 'Happiness, hit her, like a train on a track'. She doesn't believe it and is terrified, 'She hid around corners and she hid under beds', so she tries running away from it, escaping 'Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father'. That's kind of it.
  • From an interview Florence said " 'Dog Days Are Over' was directly inspired by an art installation by the artist Ugo Rondinone. He's got an art installation on the side of this gallery in New York that just says, 'Hell, Yes!' Ugo had an installation on the side of another building that said, "Dog Days Are Over.' If you don't agree with this, then check the interview. See Sources and Related Links.

What is the meaning of song 'Dog days are over' by Florence and the machine?

From an interview that she did:The song is about her struggle with giving up her favorite food (or one of her favorites), hot dogs, when she became a vegetarian. Nothing quite so inspirational, but it's the truth. That's what the dog days of summer mean. Hot dogs gave her a lot of happiness, but she had to run from them. And, I imagine with all the summer barbecuing, they "came after her" and tempted her quite a bit. She probably just started with the one line and and went from there.

What is the song dog days are over about?

"Dog Days Are Over" was recorded with no instruments in a studio the "size of a loo". The song was inspired by a giant text installment titled "Dog Days Are Over" by artist Ugo Rondinone, which Welch used to see every day, riding her bike over Waterloo Bridge. The song was produced and mixed by James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco and The Last Shadow Puppets, who is also famous for producing for the likes of Bloc Party and the Arctic Monkeys. He is also credited as playing piano and guitar on the record. Florence co-wrote the song with Isabella Summers who is also credited as the song's co-producer, and played piano on the record. Welch and Summers also teamed up for the percussion on the track, together with Charlie Hugall. "Dog Days Are Over" also features musicians Tom "Moth" Monger (harp), Bruce White (viola), Everton Nelson (violin), Christopher Lloyd Hayden (drums) and Rob Ackroyd (guitar). Jimmy Robertson, extensively involved in the recording of Lungs recorded and mixed "Dog Days Are Over" as well
