For those who are confused about the title "dogdog" - a consistent theme in abuseken's works is feeling like a monster, animal, or inferior being. From my personal interpretation, in this song the "dog" refers to a person who struggles with feelings of inferiority originating from their religion, family, and/or sex/sexuality. These are all themes which are present throughout abuseken's music, so if you're interested, please check out his work.

"It's not like I want you to kill me, but I just hope you'll feel guilty" I didn't realise how much this line spoke to me. I always try to interpret a song as a story. But this isn't just a story to me anymore, it's a feeling. I hurt myself so much in a state of despair, to remind myself that this is all real. Because once my feelings are gone, what is going to be proof and evidence of the pain that I felt? The helplessness they made me experience? When I think of what has happened to me, in a good place, in a calm place, in my room, I want them to hurt me more. Hurt me more so that I can stay mad. Hurt me more so that they can't justify what they did. Hurt me more so you can feel guilty. Understand me. Pity me, feel guilty. Say sorry. Cry. Cry for me, not for you. Not your husband. Me. I laugh, I cry, I mimic and repeat nonsense, I'm dramatic, I scrape myself, I pull out a knife only to do nothing with it. I scream. But even with all of that, nothing. I don't want you to hurt me, I just want you to feel sorry. Yet even that isn't the bare minimum. just feel guilty because you know you did something wrong. For allowing him to hit me. To speak to me like that. So, thank you for this song.

about the song being a feeling, that's why i love abuseken's work (and other vocaloid songs) so much. it's hard to describe but the song itself is a feeling to me and it means so much. when i was young and felt completely alone vocaloid songs were the things that made me feel seen and heard. i can relate with your comment so much though. i think at some point being hurt became beautiful to me like the song says. when others hurt they were shown compassion and care and it used to make me so jealous. it felt like no one would do that for me and all the pain i experienced was eating me alive. i acted out and i felt guilt. feeling truly helpless at the pain being inflicted upon you is the worst thing someone can experience, in my opinion. i hope that you are able to heal. your past does not define you as a person, and you are heard and understood.

You wrote all my thoughts back to me. I don't want to disappear. I don't want that pain and suffering to go away either, not exactly. I truly do, but once it's gone, since I was always alone, who will be there to remember what i went through? In the future, who will understand the depths of that never-ending pain? That suffering? You want to scream, cry, and sob. Roll around on the ground, bearly holding yourself up on weak arms as you spit out gibberish thoughts and continue to scream. Loughing as you fall into tear-soaked delirium. You want to reveal that suffering to the whole world. To prove it was real. To validate it. To make them all feel guilty for what they did to you. And then you want to fall into sleep, relived. That pain becomes truly beautiful to you in the peace of that moment.

Hello people, another year of listening to this song. I listen to it every once in a while, it just holds so much meaning to me. I first found it when I was going through one of the hardest parts of my life and now whenever I hear it it reminds me of what I’ve gotten through. I can’t lie, it’s only when I’m sad I come back here and is one of those days where I just feel like crying. For the few people who will see this, thank you. For being alive, for breathing, for just doing anything. You matter (even if it took me very long to realise) and you are loved. Thank you
This reminds me of how I felt when I was homeless. One of the strongest memories I have from those days was touching my hair that hadn't been washed. And it felt like the fur of a dog. I was so angry in those days, and just wanted the people around me to suffer. I remember people looking at me with disgust, as if I chose this. I remember how apathetic the people who said would help me were. I genuinely wanted to die, but was too angry to let myself do it. The constant dehumanization, anger, and shame. Man. Memories! :)

Is the theme really abstract? Apart from some key concepts, like the hypocrisy of generalization, the dark theme of the song is pretty direct and straight to the point. Wanting to die but too scared to commit, moments of drunk joy and reckless abandon to sober shame and regret, wanting someone to feel suicide guilt as a manner of revenge (I don't like this part, though), etc. They're all very straight to the point. This is why I like this song, unlike a lot of other dark songs where they try to layers their lyrics with innuendos, double entendres, figures of speech, or perspective change, this song is very straightforward with its intent to let the listeners know that this is a song about someone suffering from what they or what someone else did.

When I first listened to this, even without the subtitles you can hear how tired and hurt the singer is and I think that's really comforting to me, in a way.
This song speaks to me. I don't know if I can exactly correctly say what I want to, but I'll try to anyways and explain it the best I can, even if it comes off as vent-ish I've always been looked down upon, or felt looked down upon. I felt like everyone hated me. When I brought this up in a frenzy of emotions, and how everyone treated me like I was trash or something meant to be forgotten, I was told "if you were treated like trash, you would be dead". Those words stuck with me subconsciously because I felt even more worthless, disgusting, and just a bunch of other disgusting words to call myself. I've felt this way since I was maybe 11, maybe even younger. As much as I wanted to die to get away from everything, I also didn't want to. I wanted to live at the same time so I could spite the people who frowned when I walked by, and teased me whenever they could. They always wanted to see me breakdown or cry, maybe even be angry. I have autism, and my emotions are kind of hard to control, and I always did my best to control them in a healthy way. But whenever people would mock, hurt, insult, and tease me, it was like they wanted to so they could make me seem irrational. Whenever I called them out, they only laughed more or called me irrational and dramatic. I felt alone, even if I wasn't. I wanted to die to get away from it all, but also wanted to live so I could make them angry, make them the irrational ones. Even if I would try to die, my body won't let me because it feels as if I'm trying to spite the people who hurt me. I'm still being hurt today, and it is going to keep being that way for me. If anything, I want the people who hurt me to actually mean the words they say, to actually mean the word sorry. I want them to actually mean it when they apologize. After all, I mean it when I say sorry to someone I didn't mean to hurt. I say it all the time. I say it too much. I would do anything to make it up. However, the people who hurt me never mean it when they apologize. They just want me to forget. I want them to mean the words sorry, I want them to actually feel guilt, I want them to actually realize what they've done. I don't want them to wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat when they remember. I only want them to actually apologize. I want them to mean it, that way that even if I don't forgive them, I could at least acknowledge the fact that they mean it and care about how I feel. Like another comment said when they shared about how they felt, I want someone to just try and understand me. Sorry this became a vent, but I just couldn't help but comment on it because I love this song, I think it's beautiful, and when I first heard it, I knew that it resonated with me in some way. I hope everyone else who relates to this song in some way will be comforted by it also, like how I have been comforted by it
I've NEVER had a vocaloid song make me feel this way, this is gorgeous and I love the lyrics too. I hope you know that this is honestly the absolute best song I have ever heard. Thank you so much for hand-crafting this and allowing it to bless my ears. 🥺💖💕💞💖💕💞
So I got too invested on listening to this song because it hits too much for me. That's why I'll try my best to interpret it on my own understanding. Hope it doesn't arise any incorrect parts. • The lyrics of this song evoke strong emotions and touch upon themes of pain, self-destruction, and societal norms. 1) The song begins by highlighting the values and perspectives of society that this person (narrator) finds oppressive or judgmental. The bystander's reaction and muttered "disgusting" suggest a negative judgment, causing this person to question their own worth and contemplate the idea of death. (Which makes it even more relatable in my current situation as well.) 2) The lyrics express a sense of inner conflict and struggle. This person acknowledges the temptation to succumb to pessimism but also recognizes the desire to resist and defy it. There is a feeling of frustration and wanting to hide certain aspects of oneself from judgmental individuals. 3) The recurring desire for death reflects intense emotional pain, both physical and psychological. It portrays a longing for relief and an escape from the overwhelming hurt this person experiences. At the same time, there is a contradictory sentiment of wanting to survive, as indicated by the refrain of "I won't die." (Tbh, I almost cried on this part of the lyrics.) 4) The lyrics also critique societal norms and behaviors. They suggest that what is considered "normal" or "good" by others is actually detrimental to this person's well-being. The mention of prostitution, fetishism, and this person's perception of others' enjoyment of it represents the narrator's perception of societal hypocrisy and its contribution to their pain. 5) There is a desire for release and purification, expressed through the metaphor of wanting to throw up and relish the taste as proof of living. It portrays a desperate need to be freed from the emotional and societal burdens that weigh heavily on this person. 6) This person reflects on their own emotions and thoughts, recognizing the influence of outside opinions and experiences. They mention singing a song about death, hope, and weakness, indicating a connection to the struggles and emotions of others. However, there is also a sense of isolation as they sing alone. 7) The lyrics convey a complex mix of emotions, including anger, despair, and a desire for others to feel guilt or remorse. There is a perception that others are happier than this person, which intensifies their own pain. • In summarization, the song portrays a deeply emotional and introspective journey through the narrator's experiences of pain, alienation, and the clash between societal expectations and personal suffering. The lyrics express a yearning for understanding and release, while also critiquing societal norms and the impact they have on the individual. NOTE: i do remind you that song lyrics can be subject to various interpretations, and the artist's intended meaning may differ from individual interpretations :)) once again, i really love this song because it artistically touches on the subject of struggling to live ahead, without leaving any vague words.

Hello, I'm currently studying Japanese. I consider myself a beginner but I do believe that there are some mistranslations within the captions of the video. The part of the lyrics where it says "死ねない 死ねない 死ねない", I believe that rather than it being translated as "I won't die I won't die I won't die", it's more like "(I am) not able to die". Since the potential form of the verb "死ぬ” which is "死ねる" expresses the ability or possibility to do the action described by the verb. If we turn that potential form from positive to negative, it would become "死ねない" which is what is written in the lyrics. This means that rather than having the ability or possibility to do the action, it would instead mean the opposite, meaning to not have the ability or possibility to do the action. The next part of the lyrics "身体が竦んで動けないんだ" supports this since the translation would be something like "(My) body freezes up and is unable to move". Which means that the reason as to why the speaker is not able to kill themselves is due to them not having the courage to perform the action of killing themselves. The next part of the lyrics "生きたい? 逝きたい? 叫んでる肌" also supports the first statement. It's like a play with words with both "生きたい" and "逝きたい" being homonyms, meaning they are pronounced the same though their spellings in Japanese are different, when romanized, their spellings are the same. The meaning of "生きたい" is "want to live" and "逝きたい" is "want to pass away". If the translation within the KZbin captions is correct then it wouldn't make sense since if the speaker is saying that they won't die, then why would they be confused whether they want to continue living or just pass away? Well, it's just my opinion and I could be completely wrong. If you find any mistakes with what I said, I'd be happy to be corrected. Thanks.

As for what you have interpreted, it is truly evident that the narrator is genuinely confused about whether they want to continue to live or not. It also supports your claims about the narrator not having the courage to die soon because they kept questioning themselves throughout the song too!

this song is amazing I don't know what to say other than that because lots of people here have said it before and im pleased to have been shown this! While reading the lyrics and reading comments my mind is trying to grasp the meaning and I can see bits and pieces. It doesn't feel like this is telling a coherent story, feeling, or anything specific but rather a jumble? The feelings and things the person has gone through and in a moment where they really comprehend it all, take a step back, and are feeling the impact of it. It's not clear to me, it's racing, it's begging for someone to blame maybe? and they just want to go. I feel like they don't want to blame everyone for not realizing they are gone and they don't want the people forgetting them to feel guilt but they want it as well. They want to be remembered and people to feel bad they're gone but also know that they won't. Of course all these thoughts are coming from someone reading the english lyrics. I'm still not sure about the lines referring to sexuality and how it all ties in, I can really on determine what I think of what I can personally understand from my experience. I know it takes being in a dark place to understand this or having these situations, so I'm hoping who wrote this is finding ways to help. I see they are responding to comments so I'm believing so, but either way, I think this was a great song, I'll listen to it over and over again pondering over its meaning that I'll never really get and I think that's good. It's confusing, but the mind is and it shows how much the person has gone through and feels, it gives depth. Still frustrating, but I think it makes sense, at least in my interpretation.

Well this is the way I understand the song. It’s definitely influenced by what I want to interpret and I’m not taking any of abusekens other songs or stories into account. I see this as being about someone who has been suicidal for a long time but never really killers themselves. They fantasize becaude suicide is something almost beautiful in their eyes, and they know how fucked up it is but they want it anyway. It becomes a comfort for them because it’s a way to escape and they fantasize about it over and over and over, but can never truly bring themselves to finish the act. Perhaps they hurt themselves over and over but never get to actual death. In a twisted way, they think their pain is beautiful. They love destroying themselves over and over and over. At the same time they’re suffering and they seriously do consider death but there are people in their lives that care about them and they can’t do that. They hate others for caring about them because it makes it hard for them to disappear. The part about the song especially shocked me because I never saw it put into words ever. This song is basically what it is talking about too. The person idolizes about suicide and consumes content about it, sings songs like this about it, making it seem like a more grand and beautiful thing. Still part of them wants to live, they know they don’t really want to die, but at the same time they do. It’s both at once. That tears them apart and the pain makes them feel that their suffering is real and whatever happens in their past matters. They do it to prove to themselves that they are still alive. They feel hatred and anger and guilt and sadness and pain.
