ub40 - watchdogs Verse: A - Bm (repeat) Chorus: - (3x) - thanks 2 ma buddy Mike Macasero. comments & suggestions 2 [email protected] or on the site You try to close your ears And you try to close your eyes But the blasphemies keep coming Tempting you with lies (Chorus) Give thanks for you protection Your watchdogs of the night Who hold the hungry wolves at bay And keep them out of sight, out of sight You just don`t understand it But it strikes a distant chord So you look for away of escaping And sanity`s restored (Chorus) Give thanks for your protection the watchdogs of the night Who hold the hungry wolves at bay And keep them out of sight, out of sight You focus your direction Cloak tightly pulled around But somewhere in the distance You can hear a haunting sound (Chorus) Give thanks for your protection the watchdogs of the night Who hold the hungry wolves at bay And keep them out of sight, out of sight You`re in danger of corruption And you`re always running scared You cannot make decisions You`re completely unprepared (Chorus) Give thanks for your protection the watchdogs of the night Who hold the hungry wolves at bay And keep them out of sight, out of sight

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque l'idée que, malgré nos tentatives de nous protéger des mauvaises influences et des mensonges qui nous entourent, ces tentations continuent de surgir. Elle parle de don de gratitude envers ceux qui veillent sur nous, qui nous soutiennent dans les moments difficiles, comme une sorte de garde qui nous préserve des dangers invisibles. Les paroles soulignent un sentiment de vulnérabilité, surtout quand on se retrouve face à des décisions délicates qui peuvent mener à la corruption. Le contexte semble refléter un combat intérieur entre la recherche de sécurité et la peur de perdre le contrôle. C'est comme une métaphore de la vie, où nous devons constamment naviguer entre les menaces qui nous font peur et le soutien de ceux qui nous entourent. Au final, cette chanson rappelle l'importance de la protection et de l'accompagnement dans les moments d'incertitude.
