Of Monsters And Men - Dirty Paws - Lyrics [My Head Is An Animal] HD

[@user-tx3xh8uf5v]

listening to this song is like having a refreshing, snowy breeze brisk your face in near-end winter. Absolutely beautiful.

[@L..m402]

Most poetic thing ever

[@robinbeak2436]

i can see a short animation in my mind about this song Just cant get it outta my head...

[@chesney9474]

Make a short film then? That's what I do when this happens 😂

[@808headache]

+Robin Lee I will be making one soon, on a diff account. :)

[@fluffehhairztrailers1353]

So do I... I need to write into a book so it'll become a movie :)

[@rumelia]

+Robin Lee I know, right? It's very narrative.

[@alejosssdo]

+Robin Lee How is it? I imagine a dog playing with a kid and then they both grow up, and it goes on and on...

[@willf.4590]

Why is it that every Of Monsters And Men song I've ever heard has given me goosebumps for days? I mean, I'm not complaining at all, but still...

[@debramccormicj3186]

Because they are based on a true life story.

[@realnews7518]

They tell the truth and you can feel it.

[@LoveisaLie3494]

Because music with meaning and a strong message hit different. Frequencies maybe? 🤔

[@JD-sf4lr]

This song is so peaceful! It's one of those songs that I'd listen to in a car, starring out the window dramatically :) love it

[@oneflirtatiousgirl4937]

I only heard this song on the 'roadtrip' playlist, now I found this. :D

[@lackedpuppet9022]

For the record, most believe it to be an analogy of WWII. Sorry to ruin it's surface level peacefulness.

[@randomloser9926]

omg I thought I was that did that

[@jobobtargaryen1258]

I personally think this song is NOT about ww2. I have this crazy theory that it's just about the nature of humanity. Anyway, great tune!

[@insertname1857]

Kenny Klemp wow, the first correct person! this song is based off icelandic folklore, and we all know folklore is used to tell a moral

[@MrGhost3012]

Agree with you 😁👌

[@mayac.3514]

i think it can mean whatever you want it to!

[@facelessduck5683]

Yes, me to because at one part it says-- And for a while things were cold. They were scared down in their holes. The forest that was once green Was colored black by those killing machines AKA us

[@ottovonhabsburg3215]

Its true cuz it can be played in any war like Waterloo battle Mosul battle or even wwi

[@JesusGodHolySpirit3]

Finally a band that does not sing about human love :). I love this band they sing about random things, but it is lovely :D

[@girlgamer6678]

uKnow so uhh apparently its about ww2, america is the beast with the dirty paws, Britain is the birds, germany is the bees, the son is early colonists, the creatures of the snow are the ussr and the dragonfly is a soldier. At least thats what I'm getting from the comments

[@anitasandhu3931]

It’s actually about ww2, with each of the words being a name for something else. It is a lovely song though 👍

[@leothecat9230]

Little talks

[@cadenbyrne3979]

Y’all who replied that it is about world war ll are actually wrong. It is actually about an Icelandic folk tale. The thing about WW2 is only an interpretation.

[@scorpiiiondude3327]

I know! Listen to *coldplay* though---

[@rory2018]

This is my favorite of their songs. I also like King and Lionheart and Little Talks

[@vigneaultleclercs]

[@atsukohashimoto5287]

[@srentiln]

May you never lose your positivity or feel it was all for nothing.

[@danielbrawley4141]

Why would you randomly put this on a video? Such a hippie

[@Yomega360]

I personally think this song is about World War II. "The bees" is the Axis. "The sky wasn't big enough for them all" Lebensraum, the German policy of getting "breathing room" for the German people. "The birds" the Allies. "They got help from below" from the people of their colonies such as in Africa and India. "From dirty paws" America "and the creatures of snow" The USSR. "And for a while things were cold" the war in the Eastern Front against the USSR. German men were dying from cold and hunger. "The forest that once was green was colored black by those killing machines" the destruction of the Russian countryside by both Soviet and German soldiers. "But she and her furry friends took down the Queen Bee and her men" The turning of the war and capture of Berlin, the death of Hitler.

[@budderpig6371]

I think you're right. It makes sense.

[@noahchristensen4006]

Can you explain the introductory verse describing who the dragonfly is?

[@Darthvader-oc5tp]

Noah Christensen it could be a soldier that went off and fought in the war and survived to tell about it.

[@Alex-gt1ui]

Yomega360 I think your right

[@Alex-gt1ui]

Noah Christensen I think it might be a soldier

[@LimblessAnt]

So imagine Bees: Fire nation Birds: Air temples Dragon fly: Aang Dirty paws: earth benders Creatures of snow: water benders Beast with the four dirty paws: Avatar

[@thatkatkrazykid4742]

[@deadsilence7528]

Lol

[@thedevil5711]

Eh dragonfly listened to bunch of trees sing about cats and birds beating up a bunch of bees

Got this beautiful song because of Sweet Tooth. Thanks Gus.

[@Tunga001]

I interpret this as a bizarre and amazing dream. It quickly explains all of the weirdness, and the "my head is an animal" refers to the singer's wild imagination.

[@mikefawson1197]

I listened to this courtesy of one of my fellow travellers as we went overland across West Africa, a lovely lovely song, it's stuck in my head ever since - thank you Jamie Lynn Buehner

[@hymiefranco3075]

So everyone is talking about the meaning of the song but no one has said any explanation which explains the beginning part

[@RileyThewolf_And_Stuff]

This song represents lots of things= Respect Forgiveness Love And what I think... FURRYS :3

[@hymiefranco3075]

I get that but...Umm....that still doesn't explain the beginning part. Also, furrys 😂😂😂

[@RileyThewolf_And_Stuff]

I know right X3

[@BlackWingAngelGirl]

Hymie Franco I believe the beginning is stating that we are all animals in a sense, the human animal. And that as a whole we are all inter-connected. Such that we could easily envision what it is like for the creatures of the forest, that perhaps the animals and plants, being inter-connected as well, told the story of a terrible war in forest to a dragonfly, that returned to the humans and conveyed such an incredible story to them. Speaking on a spiritual level that we are all connected, and as we have this spiritual connection we can sense what the other wants to convey. Or something to that effect I might think.But this is just my theory, take it for what you will.

[@SuperDeDeDj]

+Teresa Westberg no it's about Icelandic folk tales

Hello. I am replying to you 7 years later 🩷

[@JulieJoyfull11]

This feels Naustaligic. I use to play with the dragonflies outside my home, near the river. They always followed me and my neighbor had a dog that was always dirty when I saw it. It jumped on me and smeered dirt on my dress, So I called the dog dirty dog, or dirty paws. This is a huge coincidence, I really love this song.

[@moonshine9485]
