Damn Dog
Unspoken Love and Broken Promises in Never Shout Never's 'Damn Dog'
Lyrics
I can't believe that I could believe that.
I had difficulty accepting something that I previously believed.
I can't believe you left me for dead man.
I can't believe you betrayed me or abandoned me.
Cause I called you my friend.
I considered you my friend.
My best friend at that.
You were not just a friend but my best friend.
I know that I'm loud man
Despite being loud, I acknowledge my flaws.
But give me another chance.
I'm asking for another chance despite my flaws.
I promise to keep this damn snout shut for you.
I promise to keep quiet for you, using "damn snout" metaphorically.
But only for you...
My commitment to change is solely for you.
... Cause I love you
The reason for my willingness to change is my love for you.
I should've seen the boredom in your eyes.
I failed to notice the boredom in your eyes.
You dropped me off and you said your goodbyes.
You left me and said your goodbyes.
Cause dad I called you my friend.
I considered you, even my dad, as a friend.
My best friend at that.
You were not just a father but my best friend.
I know that I'm loud man
Despite being loud, I acknowledge my flaws (similar to line 6).
But give me another chance.
I'm asking for another chance despite my flaws (similar to line 7).
I promise to keep this damn snout shut for you.
I promise to keep quiet for you, using "damn snout" metaphorically (similar to line 8).
But only for you...
My commitment to change is solely for you (similar to line 9).
... Cause loved you
The reason for my willingness to change is my love for you (similar to line 10).
I saw man on the side of the road.
I encountered a man on the side of the road.
He said take my hand, that man threw me a bone.
He offered me help or support (threw me a bone metaphor).
Cause one man's trash is another man's treasure.
Expressing the idea that what one person considers worthless may be valuable to another.
The way that he made me feel was better then ever.
Describing a positive experience with the man from the side of the road.
He told me he loved me.
The man expressed love for the speaker.
He meant it forever.
He meant the love to last forever.
I love him cause he loves me.
The speaker loves the man because of the reciprocal love.
And all I've ever wanted was to feel love.
The speaker's longing for love is fulfilled by the man.
