When I first heard this, it took me a few listenings to decide it was about a dog and not a girl. It could almost work either way. Later, I learned that it was about Robert Plant's dog Strider, who accompanied the band to Bron-yr-Aur in Wales where they were recording. (The title is a misspelling; they have another song just called "Bron-yr-Aur" which spells it correctly.)

More a general comment than an interpretation: I find it interesting that a few people are referring to them as an "obscure band." You might call them a one-hit-wonder, but the song was pretty big when it came out, and the band developed some very passionate fans who hound something to like beyond the one song, including some of my friends who I considered music aficionados, so I wouldn't call them obscure. It's true that they don't get as much attention now as some other bands of the same era, but I've always liked this song. ...

I think MellyJC's and RamuneDrink's comments are right on and don't have much else to add.
Yep, this was a ground breaking song. Always loved this song and the feel I used to get when listening to it. I always thought the words were Hey Jesse, and I named my son Jesse after this song. Kind of a hoot. I recently found out that Doug Hopkins killed himself shortly after he created this masterpiece. He was battling depression an alcoholism. The song reflects some of his desperate feelings and desire for stabilization with someone who perhaps provided that in the past.

First heard today. Had a horrible week and this new song on repeat really helped. 💖 This sounds sounds to me like, ADHD, neurodivergent; over thinking, negative thought loops, internal dialog, exhaustion from trying to be like everyone else, lack of critical thinking/imagination - what I know is what I've read/been told. Unable to communicate effectively & caring to the point when you should zip it. (this new song helped me find this site too 😁)

Afraid to lose control And caught up in this world I've wasted time, I've wasted breath I think I've thought myself to death
I think with my heart and I move with my head I open my mouth and it's something I've read I stood at this door before, I'm told But a part of me knows that I'm growing too old
Confused what I thought with something I felt Confuse what I feel with something that's real
I was born without this fear Now only this seems clear I need to move, I need to fight I need to lose myself tonight
This is literally the only song my late wife would sing at karaoke, To this day, I have no idea why.

The first time she did it was at a karaoke place that used the old Pioneer LaserDisc karaoke, so every song had a weird background video. Part of the video for JttW was a man in a frog costume dancing in an amusement park.

I think the person who commented the very literal interpretation of- the singer's partner was cheating, she attacked the person who partner was cheating with, she couldn't be with partner despite still feeling love and wanting to forgive, gets drunk- but for years I've always had a much less literal interpretation.

I always thought of it as just general nonsense feelings of being unhappy in a relationship, though I thought this particular song was either about a same sex relationship or perhaps the singer was singing from a different perspective. I always thought "climbed on her back/ with an ambush attack" was more of a metaphor for the singer starting an argument for no reason. I thought "could not believe that she didn't chase me" was how some people expect they can walk away from their partner and the partner will still "chase," want to pursue romantically. I thought bits of the song ("down came the briefcase") were kind of nonsense, like her head is a swirl of feelings and she's just kind of looking at everything in the room to distract herself from her feelings. But, having read that other interpretation, it's more likely that and I had quite the very broad explanation of this when I first started listening to it in my teens! I still like my version though 😅 Absolutely a beautiful song.
