Dogs
Dennis Lloyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never thought I'd be haunted
But every time that I go outside
I feel like I'm gonna lose my mind
Every step that I'm taking
The more I feel that I'm breaking
And I don't think that I know myself
Tell me, how can you know yourself?
When you're sleeping on a plane, you wake up on a bus
You never see the days, you play through the nights
You wake up
Wake up and you're feeling like
Looking for the pawn you're really gonna trust
You always keep in mind, it's never gonna last
And you break up
Break up and you're feeling like
I guess I need more dogs, I don't need no friends
'Cause I trust nobody in my life, yeah, I swear
I'm good now, I'm good now
I guess I need more dogs 'cause I'm not so stressed
With my hairy, little motherfucking friends, yeah, I swear
I'm good now, I'm good now
I guess I need more dogs, I don't need no friends
'Cause I trust nobody in my life, yeah, I swear
I'm good now, I'm good now
I guess I need more dogs 'cause I'm not so stressed
With my hairy, little motherfucking friends, yeah, I swear
I'm good now, I'm good now
I'm good now, I'm good now
I guess I need more dogs, I don't need no friends
'Cause I trust nobody in my life, yeah, I swear
I'm good now, I'm good now
I guess I need more dogs 'cause I'm not so stressed
With my hairy, little motherfucking friends, yeah, I swear
I'm good now, I'm good now
In Dennis Lloyd's song "Dogs," the lyrics reflect a sense of disillusionment and isolation. The opening lines, "It's not the life that I wanted, I never thought I'd be haunted," suggest a disappointment with the way things have turned out. The singer feels haunted, burdened by the pressures and struggles encountered in their daily life. This feeling intensifies when they go outside, as they fear losing their mind and experience a sense of emotional breakdown.
As the lyrics continue, the singer expresses a lack of self-awareness and a feeling of being broken. They question their own identity and their ability to truly know themselves: "And I don't think that I know myself, Tell me, how can you know yourself?" This introspective questioning emphasizes the internal turmoil and confusion they are experiencing.
The chorus introduces the theme of relying on dogs as a source of comfort and trust, contrasting them with human friends. The singer suggests that they don't need friends because they don't trust anyone, but what they do need is the companionship and loyalty of their dogs. Dogs, being known for their unwavering loyalty and affection, symbolize a sense of security and emotional support for the singer. This preference for dogs over people reflects their desire for a sense of stability and trust amidst their troubled state of mind.
Overall, the lyrics of "Dogs" convey a deep longing for solace, a search for identity, and a yearning for reliable companionship in a world that feels overwhelming and untrustworthy.

It's not the life that I wanted
The life I'm living is not the one I had hoped for
I never thought I'd be haunted
I never expected to be plagued by this feeling
But every time that I go outside
Whenever I venture out of my comfort zone
I feel like I'm gonna lose my mind
I feel overwhelmed and on the brink of insanity
Every step that I'm taking
With every move I make
The more I feel that I'm breaking
I feel myself falling apart more and more
And I don't think that I know myself
I don't believe I truly understand who I am
Tell me, how can you know yourself?
How is it possible to have complete self-awareness?
When you're sleeping on a plane, you wake up on a bus
When you travel constantly and never settle
You never see the days, you play through the nights
You don't experience normal daily routines
You wake up
You awaken
Wake up and you're feeling like
Upon waking, you have a particular emotion
Looking for the pawn you're really gonna trust
Searching for someone reliable and trustworthy
You always keep in mind, it's never gonna last
Being mindful that relationships are temporary
And you break up
And you end the relationship
Break up and you're feeling like
After the breakup, you experience a certain emotion
I guess I need more dogs, I don't need no friends
Perhaps having more dogs as companions is what I truly need, not friends
'Cause I trust nobody in my life, yeah, I swear
Because I have no trust for anyone in my life, I guarantee
I'm good now, I'm good now
I'm fine now, I'm okay
I guess I need more dogs 'cause I'm not so stressed
Having more dogs would alleviate my stress
With my hairy, little motherfucking friends, yeah, I swear
With my beloved furry friends, I promise
I'm good now, I'm good now
I'm fine now, I'm okay
I'm good now, I'm good now
I'm fine now, I'm okay
I guess I need more dogs, I don't need no friends
Perhaps having more dogs as companions is what I truly need, not friends
'Cause I trust nobody in my life, yeah, I swear
Because I have no trust for anyone in my life, I guarantee
I'm good now, I'm good now
I'm fine now, I'm okay
I guess I need more dogs 'cause I'm not so stressed
Having more dogs would alleviate my stress
With my hairy, little motherfucking friends, yeah, I swear
With my beloved furry friends, I promise
I'm good now, I'm good now
I'm fine now, I'm okay

Every step that I'm taking
The more I feel that I'm breaking
And I don't think that I know myself
Tell me, how can you know yourself?
When you're sleeping on a plane
You wake up on a bus
You never see the days
You bled through the nights
You wake up
Wake up and you're feeling like
Looking for the pawn you're really gonna trust
You always keep in mind, it's never gonna last
And you break up
Break up and you're feeling like
I guess I need more dogs, I don't need no friends
