Of Monsters And Men - Dirty Paws Lyrics
Jumping up and down the floor,
My head is an animal.
And once there was an animal,
It had a son that mowed the lawn.
The son was an OK guy,
The dragonfly, it ran away,
But it came back with a story to say.
Her dirty paws and furry coat,
She ran down the forest slopes.
The forest of talking trees,
They used to sing about the birds and the bees.
The bees had declared a war,
The sky wasn't big enough for them all.
The birds, they got help from below,
So for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes.
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines.
But she and her furry friends
Took down the queen bee and her men.
And that's how the story goes,
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws.

Of Monsters And Men Dirty Paws Comments
I'm still waiting for the Netflix adaptation
ground war CoD with capture the flag and you have it in a Juggernaut suit be like this
Oh my God 😂
This is Sully in the HIMILAYAS
I know this song is about WW2 but my imagination went wild and applied it to the Skyrim Civil War.
My interpretation isn’t completely canon but it fits the song.
Dirty Paws: My Dovakiin Felicity who is a loyal nord warrior who later is drafted into the Stormcloak army and helps to free Skyrim once more.
The Bees: The Thalmor backed by the empire
The Birds: Nords of Skyrim.
Creatures of Snow: The Stormcloak army lead by Ulfric Stormcloak
Queen (and king) Bee: Thalmor ambassador, Elenwen backed by General Tullius and the legion.
The forest: Skyrim
Killing machines: Thalmor justiciars abducting and executing Stormcloak soldiers and loyal nords.
Holes: Doubt they feel as they are on the losing end for a short time before the tides turned and they won the war.
Probably makes no sense but I just wanted to share.
The idea of her being called “Dirty Paws” can be a derogatory insult spat by those loyal to the imperials since the mascot of the Stormcloaks is a bear and she was such a well known warrior before she joined the army and they were disappointed that they didn’t have her as a part of their legion.
he do be walkin tho
I always thought this song was about people destroying nature lol I’m stupid. Tbh I wish it was about that.
This song is making me cry, I have no idea why!! 😭❤️
It's cool to notice that the animal choices in this song are not random and their personification makes sense!
Bees follow blindly a leader (the queen Bee) and because of that alienation, they could be easily misleaded in being soldiers for wars that they don't even know why they're fighting for.
While birds can be seen as a symbol of liberty (of thinking, maybe?) And the fact that "the sky wasn't big for them all" implies that the queen bee used her soldiers and weapons as a leader, to censor the liberty of thinking and therefore stay in power.
This band is something else, right?
And you can see that the scenario in King and the Lionheart could easily be the same but after or during the war, cause not only the forest is black and white (because of the weapons) but it really connects with the storyline.
Makes sense
What I love about these songs is that it gets you thinking, it gets you deep into the meaning of the lyrics and kinda just gets your brain thinking, that and the musics really really good
I'm so thankful. My girlfriend died one week ago and I don't know. This song helps me so much. I'm so thankful for music like this. I wish I can do something for you of monsters and men.
This song is a gateway to a new emotion. I don't know what, but I'm gonna say grateful bliss
Wow this song is deep, why this on my recommendation
To me it's that inner point when a person is about to lose their mind.... when your head is an animal... just wait children, if you're not a retard, the day will come
Interpret as you see fit... maybe that's the point... until Nanna says otherwise
Guns are not killing machines... humans are. Guns are tools.... used them nearly all my life, and not one of them has killed a human
datoorion ...nobody cares
1981 are you still f###ing here?
So glad you are coming to México this year guys, love you
eu gosto dessa muisa pq me lembra da vez que o kid me comeu
It's so good !!!
y'all are talking about wars and i was thinking it was about man killing the earth and the bees with the birds while the bees try to keep it alive 🤷♂️ either way its all scary
ぱたぽんみたい
Whether it's Dirty Paws, Little Talks or other OMAM songs, I can't hear them without joining in on the vocal "Hey"s. My wife and daughters have given up reminding me that I'm 62.
Hail, Columbia 1477
Is that sully?
Se alguém no Brasil curte sapeca o Like. Sou fã dessa música e acredito os brasileiros possuem um gosto bom pra música também. hahaha
Sempre que ouço essa música parece que é pela primeira vez
A primeira vez que encontrei essa banda, passei uma madrugada inteira apreciando todas as músicas :')
Your a big inspiration for my games, music and films that I hope to produce in the future thank you!:)
Love you guys #of monsters and men forever!
♫ *_"The dragonfly ran away"_* ♫
Me: Well of course, it's a dragonfly, you can't possibly truly keep it as a pet
♫ *_"But it came back with a story to say"_* ♫
Me: Oh..
But it didn't 'fly' away, that worries me. Was it wings cut? Pet abuse?

Love to see if there a deep meaning or something this song was based off. So far looking around might be a old folk tail in Iceland or about ww2
sam fox if you scroll up you can read it in the comments mate .
It is so cheesy
Such a great song!
Я не знаю что поют но я сам себе соченил альтернативу.

1. Knight, poet and king gave me nostalgic i never knew

Copy of lyrics of "the trees - Rush" hahaha
they say animal funny
Best recomendation
THIS IS THE PREQUEL TO MONSTERS INC.
The war between humanity and monsters.
Humans beat back monsters into the dark world. They created a civilization and use their nightmares to fuel their economy.
This was why people made dreamcatcher devices and holy totems and stuff.
As monsters faded into legend, the wards weakened.....
Palmashow ? 😂
This song is clearly about Kenny Omega and the Bullet Club.
???????
My mum and dad played this song to me when I was like 3.. it’s my first time hearing this song in eight years ...
Also though I might be mixed up with a different song but I still know this song from a long time ago...
Also I say; ‘mum’ because I’m from aus and in Australia that’s how you spell it...
...AND FINALLY... please watch home by Edward sharp and the magnetic zeros ... if not maybe listen to mgmt ¿
Hey. My opinion is that the song is about WWII. The 'my head is an animal' part reminds of PTSD that many people got from seeing their friends die right in front of them. The 'animal' was the father of two children, one younger and one older. The 'son' was the older brother and the 'dragonfly' was actually the younger brother. The younger brother departed to join the war and then came back to spread the word of what could be war stories. I think the dirty-pawed she-wolf/dog/etc. could be the U.S.A. since the country, in old folk tales, is referred to as 'she' or 'her glory'. American soldiers went into a forest full of trenches, where they could hear the rustling and whispering of Nazi soldiers (sorry if I offend somebody). The birds should either be England, France or the Jews and I think bees are Old Germany. When the sky wasn't big enough, they mean that the nationalism made people believe that Germany was better and deserved all of Europe. When the birds got help, they are meaning Russia from the Creatures Of SNOW and the Dirty Paws, America. 'Things were cold'. They mean the winter that plunged into WWII, basically Winter War. People were scared in their holes, meaning homes or trenches, and the killing machines were guns, tanks, soldiers, etc. America brought some..friends...along for the ride and took down Germany, leading the Nazi soldiers to get jail time and the 'Queen Bee' to uh, do the do. The beast may be the uniting of the four dirty paws, basically the world powers. Sorry if I got anything wrong. Also, in the video, I think the birds are people that are willingly going to the war and going forth to protect their, or others', country. It started with one which I presume was the younger son.
Majestic love it
Queen hitler
Bees hitlers solders
Birds English soldiers
Help from creatures down below is the US
Scared down in there holes the trenches
Dragon fly Poland
Creatures of snow is Russia
Colored black by those killing machines is the tanks
Creatures of snow are Russians and Dragonfly is Poland
Helios oh yeah... that would make since
Helios however I don’t know what the sound that Mowed the lawn is supposed to represent

Too bad arni left the band to go back to Iceland and study music and teach also.

When i listen this music i imagine that this big monster it is an american soldier carrying a USA flag and the creatures flying are war airplanes
God I hate hipsters

Its basically about world war 2.Listen to the lyrics and you will understand it
When i was 12 - 15 i just liten to Pop songs, Katy Perry, taylor swift, lady gaga. And now these kind of music make me fell in love to my depression and loneliness more. Now i listen to music like these every night while crying.
Don't worry man things get better overtime. Stay strong 💪

Jumping up and down the floor
My head is an animal
And once there was an animal
It had a son that mowed the lawn
The son was an OK guy
They had a pet dragonfly
The dragonfly it ran away
But it came back with a story to say
Her dirty paws and furry coat
She ran down the forest slope
The forest of talking trees
They used to sing about the birds and the bees
The bees had declared a war
The sky wasn't big enough for them all
The birds, they got help from below
From dirty paws and the creatures of snow
So for a while things were cold
They were scared down in their holes
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines
But she and her furry friends
Took down the queen bee and her men
And that's how the story goes
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws
Thanks x
You forgot the LAW LAW LAW part
Sully's looking a little different since I last saw him!
I think he died his fur?
This makes me think of all my old friends on a summer day being so happy and so warm
Trinity,Joshua
The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty!
tengo muchas ganas de comer y disfrurar tu comida
Un saco de wea casi me mata , saludos al tio.
What flag is that
This song is about the four horsemen. My head is an animal and once there was an animal (we are spirits trapped within earthly beings). The son that mowed the lawn was the earthly embodiment of a higher spirits son. The pet dragonfly symbolizes Aquarius, and his role as seeker of truths, the emotional sea, maturity in cycles, etc. Her dirty paws and furry coat, each paw NSEW is a horseman, furry coat? She ran down the forest slope, the forest is the tree of life and the slope is symbolized by the letter m which also symbolizes water. The forest of talking trees which spoke of birds and bees, trees symbolize spirits and the physical realm, birds and bees represent angels and demons. The demons had declared a war; heaven was not big enough for everyone. Angels got help from four demons, and creatures (people) of snow (purity). For a while there was no love, so people hid their emotions. The spirits which once returned, no longer returned, but she and her furry friends took down the queen bee and her men so that spiritual reincarnation may continue.
¡Aún la escucho en 2019!
The run back with the flag...
Everyone saying that this song is about WW2 but I just realize its all about sexuality. Its a explanation about "the birds and the bees" and how this can be a "war" sometimes...
Plug walk
I hate that this song keeps showing up on my auto playlist. I dont like it. I'm tired of hearing it. I want to remove it and never gear it again.
c Cha it’s fantastic
