Lyric discussion by soetmelodie 

Here comes the story from my point of view : in some languages ,for example spanish a dog day (=día de perros) means a bad day, it may refer to the weather or the events in that day, so it might be about a girl who is through a bad period of her life. She might have been unhappy or even depressive during that period. But then , suddenly the truth hits her.(eg. Happiness, hit her like a train on a track) Saw saw that she had to leave everything she knew / loved behind to start over and be happy . she had to turn into a different person . (The horses are coming so you better run Run fast for your mother run fast for your father Run for your children for your sisters and brothers Leave all your love and your longing behind you Can't carry it with you if you want to survive) I believe the lyrics are actually a bit sad , but they give you the power to go on and they encourage you to make a change in your life. Ps. I think Florence and the Machine is an great band , they´re pure art. Soetmelodie
