"'Watchdog' is fundamentally a song about trust. It's about that initial moment when you meet someone new and you're simultaneously infatuated with them and scanning the horizon for threats. But despite everything, you still want to let them in. It's a song rooted in this fear of loss, and it’s about learning how to come to terms with that.
