Like a Dog
Unveiling the Turmoil: Exploring Emotional Confinement in 'Like a Dog'
Lyrics
In all that he takes in all that he shows
In everything he accepts and everything he reveals
The higher the stakes the lower the blows
The higher the risks, the harder the hits
And all the mistakes that he's never known
All the errors he's never acknowledged
Whatever it takes he'll be stealing the show
He will do whatever it takes to steal the spotlight
Now he nervously shakes as we rattle his stage
Now he trembles nervously as we disrupt his performance
But he's happy to be stuck back in his halcyon days
But he is content to relive his carefree days
Now we're trying hard to reconcile a history of shame
We are struggling to come to terms with a history of disgrace
But he reinforced the barriers that keep it the same
Yet he strengthens the barriers that maintain the status quo
If you treat me like a dog
If you treat me poorly, akin to a dog
And keep me locked in a cage
And confine me within a cage
I'm not relaxed or comfortable
I am not at ease or comfortable
I'm aggravation and shame
I am irritation and disgrace
But it's a fine fine time for the people in the lucky land
But it's a splendid time for the fortunate people in the prosperous land
If you treat me like a dog
If you treat me poorly, akin to a dog
And keep me locked in a cage
And confine me within a cage
I'm not relaxed or comfortable
I am not at ease or comfortable
I'm aggravation and rage
I am irritation and fury
