none of these answers are right. On the radio she explained what the song actually meant. She said, "Before I became a singer me and my friend had to make a living by walking dogs. Until one day I was discovered and I finally made my dream job came true!"

stuck on a train track stuck still no turning back means now that she is famous she just can't quit because she would still have poparazzi with her or when she said
leave your loved ones behind if you want to survive means that you have to leave your love ones at home if you want to become sucsessful

Actually 7thgradejd2468, Lucy_In_The_Sky is pretty spot on with the meaning. On the Florence + the Machine website, Florence said:
"For me 'Dog Days' symbolizes apocalyptic euphoria, Chaotic freedom and running really really fast with your eyes closed."

I think it has sense the fact that she used to work with the dogs before she became a singer. When I didn't know that reading the lyrics I imagined that the person the happiness came finally to her like the force of the train and once is into her is not turning back. Befooore, she tried to find it, or when she though was closed she scared run away from it, she drunk a lot to avoid the emptiness of her lack of happiness "she sank with her drink".

I think the dogs is the representation of the dependence, and the horse the representation of freedom and courage. So for any reason those days of dependence are over and gone and the horses are coming, one can imagine the impression of the horses running towards oneself soo fast, as the happiness that is coming, the freedom, the change.
Run fast (as the horses related to freedom and courage) for your mother, father, for your children, sisters and brothers (I imagine is the fact that one have to think finally for all the people that one love one have to love his life the same way, because of all that love that we have for those we love (are you following me? hahaha) A big risk and change, and decision on ones life needs to kill the dependence with family, home, nostalgic, friends, lovers.. if one decides something, we have to get involved on the decision we took in a very encourage way to be successful, feeling it from the very strong and independence attitude. The happiness has come so she just have to go straight to it without hesitating for all in her appreciated life.
The humdrum drudgery's done and the good times are here at last! But be quick! Grab it while you can and leave everything else behind.
So lets all dress up, go in to the woods and dance.
