black dog on my shoulder

• manic street preachers'ın "basit" şarkılarından biri ve yine de güzel...
  (bkz: this is my truth tell me yours)
  
  "there's a black dog on my shoulder again
  licking my neck and saying she's my friend
  solitude the one thing that i really miss
  guess my life is a compromise
  
  there's a black dog on my shoulder again
  i'm playing with it but it's gone to my head
  like carlito's way there are no exit signs
  
  freeze me there until i am numb
  my mouth is so dry
  my eyes are shut tight
  there's a black dog a coming tonight
  black dog's a coming tonight
  
  my dilemma but not my choice
  winston churchill can you hear my voice
  melodrama,there in my kitchen sink
  double vision,the way it is
  
  am i coming home to you again
  or am i stupid just by design
  does it matter if you really ever know
  
  this black dog is out of control
  my mouth is so dry
  my eyes are shut tight
  there's a black dog coming tonight
  black dog's coming tonight
  
  am i coming home to you again
  or am i stupid just by design
  does it matter if you really ever know
  
  this black dog is out of control
  my mouth is so dry
  my eyes are shut tight
  there's a black dog coming tonight
  black dog's coming tonight"

• depresyon tanımı olarak black dog'un kullanılması 1780'lerde ingiliz yazar samuel johnson 'a aittir. sonra manik depresyon hastası churchill'in durumuyla tanınır olmuştur. msp 'ın şarkısı müzikal olarak eğlenceli gözükse de aslında bu metaforla bağlantılıdır.
  
  ben yine de her dinleyişimde sanki gerçekten siyah bir köpekten bahsettiğini varsaymayı seviyorum.
