Doglantic’s songs make me think about me and my dog; specifically both ‘Big dog’ songs.
The song Big Dog reminds me of me and my dog.
The song feels like to me having to give your dog up so that she could have a better life, but you still hang on to her because she means so much. I feel like the line "Big dog, I'm so sorry For how long I'll play this game" shows the mentality of the owner deteriorating and the only reason they're alive is their dog.
I feel like the line that says the writer is keeping their dog in their closet even if they know they're in pain means that they know that they barely have energy to take care of them, but they're trying so they don't want their dog to be taken from them.
I feel like the profuse apologizing is expressing that they feel sorry for not being in the right mentality to take care of a dog.
Big dog pt.2 also reminds me of me and my dog.
I feel like this song represents how me and my dog are now; with her living in AZ with my uncle while I'm in tx. "Big dog is better in someone else's arm. Big dog I'm so sorry I ruined your life" I feel like this relates to me and her because they gave her to him after I moved; it wasn't like she was mine to begin with. (my grandma adopted her for me; so I barely could take care of her as it is). I feel like my Uncle could take care of her better then I could.
"When nothing feels right I come back to you every time" I think of her often when I'm sad, she gives me another reason to cry. I reflect on leaving the state, and leaving her behind.. even if it wasn't my choice. When I visit my uncles, I do interact with her, of course I do she's still my dog.
"I’m terrified of change. I don’t think I want to be okay. I don’t think I’ll ever be okay . I don’t care anymore" This relates to me because obviously as said in lyrics I'm afraid of chnage; but I'm(/I was) scared of losing her, I'm scared of never seeing her again. (scared of leaving her; it felt like abandonment)
"One day I’ll live in an apartment with my big dog" This feels like me holding onto the idea of being with my dog; of having her in this house with me. I will never let go of my dog.
