That Dog From Pompeii
Yearning Shadows: Unveiling the Depths of Milkspiller's 'That Dog From Pompeii'
Lyrics
Overeager
Being excessively enthusiastic or eager
Gave it all away
Gave away everything
For the cost of a microphone and
For the price of a microphone and basic sustenance (symbolic of something trivial)
Two meals a day
Received minimal compensation
Lie to me
Deceive or mislead me
Stay in my periphery
Remain on the edge of my attention or awareness
Love me
Express affection for me
Let me down
Disappoint me
A dog at your table
Metaphorically, someone reliant on another's benevolence or scraps
Just beggin'
Acting in a needy or subservient manner
Always beggin'
Continuously behaving in a needy or subservient manner
Codependent
Being emotionally reliant on someone else
Rolling the dice
Taking chances despite knowing they are unwise or hopeless
A pathetic admission but I'll
Admitting a pitiful truth but committing to prioritize
Always make the time
Always finding time despite difficulties
You got what you wanted
Having achieved desired outcomes or goals
And you always will
Expected to continue achieving desired outcomes or goals
Leave me
Abandon or leave me
Slip out before the morning
Exit discreetly before morning
Scar me
Emotionally wound or hurt me
Fuck around
Engage in promiscuous behavior
A dog at your table
Metaphorically, someone reliant on another's benevolence or scraps (repeated)
Just beggin'
Acting in a needy or subservient manner (repeated)
Always beggin'
Continuously behaving in a needy or subservient manner (repeated)
