The song starts with "Happiness" this song is about Happiness, and that the person whoever it may be was running from happiness all this time. And when happiness finally arrived the person ran from it.. "She sank it with a drink and wash it down the kitchen sink" - She washed happiness away. Main chorus "Dog days are over, dog days are done" basically saying the bad days are behind you now, and happiness has made it's way back into ones life again. "Horses are coming you better run" is to suggest that happiness is coming at you whether you like it or not, but you can keep running but happiness will be in your life again. "Happiness hurt like a bullet in the mind" to suggest that the unfamiliar feeling of happiness is hard to accept to one who has had hard times, the person has forgotten what happiness is. And any type of change in ones life is like a bullet to the mind. "Leave your loving and your loving behind you" suggests, in life most heartache is because of love, and we can't carry the heartache of love all our lives...to move forward in life you have to let things go.
But loving in the right way will make one grow. "Run fast for your mother and fast for your father" is not saying to run from them, but run to them. Run to the people who will stand by you....Show them you can take this life with all the punches it has to offer you. This song is about finding happiness again and it finding you. Hence the title of the song "Dog days are over". This song is also the theme song to the movie "Eat Pray Love" about a woman who battles depression and finds happiness in herself again....very inspirational.
