I'm Not Your Dog
Loyalty Unleashed: Decoding Tristan Miller's 'I'm Not Your Dog' Message
Lyrics
Oh you don't have the right
Expressing a lack of permission or entitlement
Thought it was looking up
Initial optimism, thinking things were improving
I tried to say that I'm not your toy
Asserting independence, not willing to be treated as an object
So enough is enough
Reaching a limit, signaling the need for a change
It's hard to be loyal when I don't know who I can trust
Difficulty in remaining faithful due to a lack of trust
This isn't easy
Acknowledging the challenge of the situation
Don't know how it looks
Uncertainty about how the situation appears to others
Please look at me
Pleading for attention and understanding
I'm not your dog
Repeatedly emphasizing the refusal to be controlled or dominated
I'm not your dog
-I'm not your dog
-I'm not your dog
-Though I don't know where to go
Feeling lost and unsure of the next steps
Insanity's repeating mistakes and I've tried it all out
Recognizing the cyclical nature of mistakes and the futility of repeated attempts
Every new thing I learn is a new thing I learn I should doubt
Expressing skepticism and caution about acquiring new knowledge
So please look at me
Reiterating the desire to be seen for who they are
I'm not your dog
Continuing to assert independence and refusal to be controlled
I'm not your dog
-I'm not your dog
-I'm not your dog
-Hey
A casual expression, possibly signaling a shift in tone
Don't know what to say
Expressing speechlessness or difficulty in finding words
Things got in the way
External factors causing disruptions or obstacles
No games left to play
Signaling the end of playful or manipulative behavior
Today's not our day
Indicating a challenging or unsuccessful day
Don't know how to please
Feeling inadequate in meeting expectations
Quit looking at me
Rejecting scrutiny or unwanted attention
I'm not that strong
Admitting vulnerability and lack of strength
I feel so wrong
Expressing a sense of discomfort or wrongdoing
You know if I could I would give you the things you need
Desire to provide support or fulfill needs, if possible
And I never want to bite at the hands that feed
A commitment to avoid harming those who provide support
But no
Flat denial of being controlled or owned
I'm not your dog
Reiterating the refusal to be dominated or subservient
