I_DOG (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Number_i

[Verse 1]
The singer feels stuck from the very beginning, like he’s frozen in time since the Heisei era. He’s caught in a moment, unable to move forward, trying to take control and turn the page but still stuck in the middle.

[Verse 2]
He’s weighed down by regrets that feel like they waste time. He keeps going back and forth between life and death, and if he stops even for a second, memories rush back quickly.

[Verse 3]
He doesn’t know how many lives he’s lived or how many times he’s tried. He feels chosen but also confused about what he actually controls. He waits nervously before nightfall, not wanting to enter a difficult stage.

[Verse 4]
He apologizes for trying to express things that seem to disappear, like a message written in the air. It’s a complicated night, and while others see the future clearly, he can’t, and time feels like it’s slipping away.

[Chorus]
Something suddenly vanished but still lingers in the air, making him feel a mix of emotions. He’s trying to adjust while looking back at the past, calling out before he takes a risky leap. He feels like he has more to say, remembering himself from middle school, still stuck with unspoken words.

[Breakdown]
He encourages himself to be patient and keep improving, ignoring negativity from people who look down on him. Even those in power can change, and he wants to rise up too. He refuses to be anyone’s follower or “dog” and wants to end waiting passively and take control.

[Verse 5]
He feels alone, stuck in his own paused moment while everything around him is just drama passing by. He repeats himself without progress and feels like there’s no help or support coming his way.

[Verse 6]
His mental energy is running low, like a life meter wearing down. He knows his thoughts are scattered and complicated, stirred by jealousy. He’s starting again from the bottom, like a deep bass beat, trying to find his rhythm.

[Chorus]
That sudden feeling leaving still stays around, swirling like a ghost in the air. He senses it deeply while reflecting on the past, calling out before falling into the unknown. He has more inside him than people realize and wants to say something important but can’t, stuck with feelings from when he was in middle school. This moment repeats, making him feel trapped between past memories and future uncertainty, still searching for a way to express himself fully.

[Breawkdown]
He reminds himself to be patient and keep leveling up, throwing away hate from those below him. Even important people can change their paths. He repeats this to stay strong, refusing to be controlled or wait endlessly. He wants to break free from being anyone’s servant and end the cycle of hate and waiting.

[Outro]
He talks about changing from a withdrawn, unsure version of himself to a sharp, confident one. If he can express himself, he wants to reach the highest level. He wishes he could rewind time and start over fresh, bringing it all back to the beginning.
