Dog
Unspoken Struggles: A Dog's Tale of Neglect and Redemption
Lyrics
No one takes the dog out
No one is taking care of the dog by letting it outside.
No one takes the dog outside to play
No one is allowing the dog outdoor playtime.
He's not gonna wag his tail, no
The dog is unhappy and won't wag its tail.
He's not gonna wag his tail at all today
The dog is not showing any signs of happiness or excitement today.
And oh I'll miss you
The singer expresses missing someone or something.
And I forgive you
The singer forgives the person for saying things they promised not to say.
For saying things you swore you'd never say
The individual said hurtful things despite promises made.
So I believed you
The singer believed the individual's words.
When I retrieved you as a stray
The singer took in the individual despite feeling like they were lost or abandoned.
No one takes the dog out
No one is caring for the dog by taking it out.
No one takes the dog outside to run
The dog isn't being allowed outside to run around.
No one pets the dog, oh
No one is giving the dog affection.
No one wants to show him any love
No one is showing love or care to the dog.
And you know well now
The individual now understands consequences or karma.
What you do comes back around
Actions have repercussions and consequences.
At the end we get what we deserve
We receive outcomes that align with our actions.
Sometimes it brings you down
Life's consequences can cause emotional distress.
And sometimes it hurts
Consequences can cause emotional pain.
And I used to care
The singer used to care about the situation.
Oh
There's an expression of realization or reflection.
But it didn't seem that fair
The singer felt that the situation was unfair.
You know I was always there for you
The singer was supportive and present for the individual.
But when I needed you, you said we're through
The individual ended the relationship when the singer needed support.
A loosened noose
An analogy to feeling restricted or suffocated.
I used to stare
The singer used to observe, but now they glare with intensity.
But now I glare
The singer used to stare at something, now they look intensely with anger or resentment.
