“Puppy Dog” reimagines a break up through the eyes of a dog caught in the middle. Javier Reyes breaks down the inspiration behind the song in a press release.
“I was watching our dog while writing that song, and he started whimpering that she was gone — which matched the impending separation I could feel in our relationship,” he says. “There was this cocktail of sadness and acceptance.”
Matthew Williams also explained the meaning behind the album’s title.
“This album takes us back to how it felt before we ever thought we’d be an actual touring band, with no expectations for ourselves,” Williams says. “Now, we’re inside the gibberish-ness of life, trying to figure out what we need to survive.”
