maybe the deepest song on the album, lyrically. There's just so much there...god, dont really know what to say without sounding like a jackass. it feels like there's a hopeless love for the father. then there's that feeling of loss when his dog joins the pack, and the betrayal when it comes back and eats his sister with the others. his mother's "blood dust", could be saying that her hearts all dried up,, like she's totally spent, like she's given up. seems to be a lot of hopelessness in the end, where his dad gets fired, and he decides to go sit by the mudlake until the dogs take him away. It's really cool in the end where it talks about the dogs getting what they deserve, sort of a religous undertone...but brock's an atheist, isnt he? dies
I think that since Bock IS atheist, the song must be a satire. I think that the song was made to poke fun at religious types. In my interpretation the narrator is not Brock but someone religious and he sits around while all this shit happens to him and everyone around him, and he remains passive convinced that everything we'll work out in the "afterlife" --"Now they'll receive their rewards"
