Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave the chain
Please make yourself at home
The tongue that taste
The teeth that break
The blood, the flesh, the bone
I-I saw you crying today
Why don′t you love me the same?
Stay still I'm trying to bite you
Let go you're holding too tight, boy
I like to think we′re the same
Why don′t you stay here tonight, boy
I like it better that way.
Is your box so much worse than your bite
Is your box so much worse than your bite
Don't make a scene
Let your self in
I want to make you go
Too scared, to sleep
To walk the streets, to love, be left alone
You, you saw me crying today
I think we′re making a breakthrough
I'll never love you the same
Stay still I′m trying to bite you
Let go you're holding too tight, boy
I like to think we′re the same
Why don't you stay here tonight, boy
I like it better that way
Is your box so much worse than your bite
Is your box so much worse than your bite
Let go you're holding too tight, boy
I like to think we′re the same
Why don′t you stay here tonight, boy
I like it better that way
Is your box so much worse than your bite
Is your box so much worse than your bite
The lyrics to The Hubbards's song Dog Bite tell a story of a relationship that is unconventional and possibly even dangerous. The singer is imploring their partner to let go and take off their chain, as they invite them to make themselves at home. Throughout the song, there is a tension between love and violence, as the singer describes the tongue that tastes, the teeth that break, the blood, flesh, and bone. The chorus is a repetition of the line "Is your box so much worse than your bite", which highlights the duality of the relationship.
The second verse is almost a mirror image of the first, with the addition of the line "I'll never love you the same", which suggests that there is a realization that this relationship cannot be sustained in a healthy way. The bridge of the song has the singer asking if their partner's box is worse than their bite, which could be a plea for vulnerability or a warning that they know what their partner is capable of. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and an invitation for the partner to stay the night, indicating that the singer is both afraid of and drawn towards their partner.
The song's lyrics have a sinister undertone that creates an unsettling feeling throughout the listener. The haunting melody and the rapid guitar riff give the song a sense of urgency that adds to the tension. Despite the dark themes of the song, it is surprisingly catchy and has become a fan favorite. In conclusion, Dog Bite is a powerful, introspective song that explores the complexities of human relationships, particularly when they involve elements of danger or fear.

Don′t keep me waiting
Please don't make me wait any longer, come to me now
Leave the chain
Unleash yourself and come to me freely
Please make yourself at home
Feel comfortable and welcomed here with me
The tongue that taste
My tongue is ready and eager to explore and taste
The teeth that break
My teeth may cause harm, but I cannot help it
The blood, the flesh, the bone
I desire to consume and possess your being entirely
I-I saw you crying today
I witnessed your vulnerability and emotions
I think we're making a breakthrough
I feel closer to you and more connected than before
Why don′t you love me the same?
I want you to feel the same intense passion and desire for me that I feel for you
Stay still I'm trying to bite you
Don't move, I want to consume and possess you without interference
Let go you're holding too tight, boy
Release your grip on me, you are holding on too strongly
I like to think we′re the same
I believe we share the same desires and needs
Why don′t you stay here tonight, boy
I want you to stay with me and indulge in our desires
Is your box so much worse than your bite
Are you more dangerous than you appear, or is your bark worse than your bite?
Don't make a scene
Keep our desires and actions private, don't attract unwanted attention
Let your self in
Come to me willingly and without reservation
I want to make you go
I want to make you lose control and submit to me completely
Too scared, to sleep
I want to keep you on edge and constantly thinking about me
To walk the streets, to love, be left alone
I want to possess you entirely, including your freedom and ability to live your own life
Let go you're holding too tight, boy
You are holding onto me too strongly, you need to let go
Is your box so much worse than your bite
Are you more dangerous than you appear, or is your bark worse than your bite?
