Perhaps if they manage to see through the facade and actually have a human connection with the band, the dog's ego is destroyed and there is a brief moment of peaceful contact between the dogs and the sheep (POTW2). "Bury my bone" is a pretty sexual image though. Quote:
Very, very interesting interpretation.

| Re: What was Roger trying to say in Animals? Roger divided the human race into 3 types of people: Pigs - Greedy, control-freaks Dogs - Easily duped into following anyone in command, faceless henchmen Sheep - Don't care of what happens to them A single minded look at life isn't it.

| Re: What was Roger trying to say in Animals? I've never attempted to slavishly assign a meaning to every line in Animals, but generally, I imagine it as Dogs: The Corporate climbers. Stabbing each other in the back to get their next promotion. Also, the criminal element. Pigs: Politicans. (primarily lawyers) Corporate CEO's. Sheep: the rest of us common shmucks, at the mercy of the dogs and pigs.

| Re: What was Roger trying to say in Animals? I like the reference to the music industy analogy.. Dogs: The bands Pigs: The recoring industry Sheep: The audience.

| Re: What was Roger trying to say in Animals? Yeah, it doesn't quite fit in with every single part of the lyrics (no specific interpretation seems to), but it's thought-provoking nonetheless.

| Re: What was Roger trying to say in Animals? Now I'm jut speculating here.. but.. Perhaps . Dog's refers to creatures that have been doestictated as human companious for about 20,000 years.. Pigs is refering to domesticated farm animals used as a primary food sourse for such things as ham and bacon. Sheep is in reference to a domesticated farm animal that can provide food as well as materials for the production of textiles.. I may be out on a limb here though.

| Re: What was Roger trying to say in Animals? It's a way to look at the album but i don't think it's meant that way.I

| Re: What was Roger trying to say in Animals? Quote:
orwell was not an anarchist, he was socialist-democratic, oh and i dont think he would've been a cop at one time in his life if he were anarchist, and animal farm wasn't generalising, its characters were based on specific historical figures (e.g. trotsky, stalin, hitler, the russian people themselves, etc.) Next time get the facts straight...
